I'm trying to decide on a place to take dd in July. Maybe stay a couple of nights if there is a few things to do in the area. She is always sensory seeking and loves rides or water or being able to run around. She doesn't like to queue for anything or sit and watch shows. Can anyone help with ideas? Where have your dc been and enjoyed please?

Should have said she is nearly 5yrs old

Chessington World of Adventures! They have a mixture of rides for young children, family rides and thrill rides. If you have a blue badge or proof she cannot queue; then she and carers get ride access. She has a wrist band, you go up the exits to the rides and the staff let you straight on! No queueing at all. There is also the zoo and sea life centre. There is a hotel next door.

I went with dd1 a few weeks ago. She is 20 and needs 2 carers with her outdoors. Her ticket was £33, the carer from social services got in free, and my ticket was £22 as the 2nd carer. Lo

sorry posted in error. Look at the website and iirc full entry price for an adult on the gate was £47. It is cheaper to book online in advance, but I'm not sure if you can get the disabled concessions too?

Nearby are Legoland and Thorpe Park, although there are far more thrill rides there imo! London is nearby.

My dd, who is like a 4 year old in a lot of ways loved Chessington - and the staff were great with her!
