The Sun are currently running a promotion where you can get bargain tickets for lots of super days out at Merlin attractions, including Chessington World of Adventures, by signing up to Sun+ online. The first month is only £1 and the offer enables you to get tickets worth nearly £100 for under a tenner so is well worth having a look at!
To help celebrate this offer, last weekend we took the kids on a family day out to Chessington World of Adventures courtesy of the Sun. It’s been a while since we had been there, in fact the last time we went was pre-kids so it was great to take them along and see what they made of it.
My boys are all under 1.4 meters as they are aged 5 and under but there was still plenty for them to do at Chessington. They went on some of rides including the Scorpion Express which is new for 2014. They also enjoyed the Seastorm, the Black Bucaneers and the Tiny Truckers.
Even for my littlest boy Mr R, who is 2 and half, there was plenty to entertain him as he loves animals so the zoo and aquarium kept him happy and made a nice break from thrill seeking.
The Dragons Playhouse soft play area, and the Madagascar live show are also great entertainment for littler children who are visiting the park.
The food in Chessington World of Adventures is pretty reasonable. We ate in the pizza and pasta buffet which is £5 per child and £10 per adult for whatever you want from the buffet, and as many drinks as you like.
The Sun also have a fun social campaign at the moment which I’m sure most of us can relate to, all about the hilariously awful things we have done to our kids.
My #sunfession is that I have tried girls clothes on to my kids as babies just to see how cute they would look! Sorry boys!!
To support the #Sunfession campaign, I also have £250 to give away to one lovely In The Playroom reader to spend at Chessington. All you need to do is log in to Twitter or Instagram account and retell a hilarious awful thing you have done to your kids. Don’t forget to include #Sunfession AND #InThePlayroom. Hit tweet or post, and then visit the Sun site to see your #Sunfession appear: http://bit.ly/1dwABCw

We told my eldest daughter for ages that she did not like cakes or sweets, she believed us until she started school! It was great to keep her on a healthy diet and as I was never saying she could not have it I was never the baddy. Learnt trick from my sister who told me to give her extra strong mints – she spat them out and a strong coffee cake – she decided sweets and cake were horrid!
I know someone who badly wants to go there
Joined! We are always in the look out for free places when we can visit cuz money is a bit tight. Comps like this is nice actually. We usually talk about prizes like this and what we’ll do if we win just generally dreaming, imagining =) #pocolo
Hahaha!! I LOVE your Sunfession! Sounds like you had as much fun as we did. Thanks for linking to my post and for linking to PoCoLo 🙂 x
I tell the kids I am cooking and hide and eat chocolate
We loved Chesington and it is our favourite of the theme parks I am sure we will be back again this year.
Would love to go to Chessington, it looks great! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
My sunfession is the classic ‘when you hear the ice cream van’s music it means they have run out of ice cream’

I tell my children that they will look like Grandad if they don’t brush their teeth! Dad has dentures and he takes them out to show them, it has the desired effect…they brush every day without fail! LOL
I told my daughter that chocolate is hot like chilly and its not for little girls…
I told my niece that Malteasers were “sheep droppings” so that she wouldn’t eat them – more for me! Slightly evil I know, but I’m actually taking her to Chessington in a few weeks (first time there for both of us!) so hopefully that makes up for it!
Love to go here
Great prize I have tweeted @Blueberry8827 Thanks for the chance, my children would love this! 🙂
i told my very young son that when he told lies his eyes changed colour – he would fib with his eyes tightly closed – bless him xxxxx
We did the coin trick where you pretend to put a coin on their forehead but secretly take it away. They can’t feel that it’s not there. Then tell them to get it off they need to pat the back of their head and the longer it takes to fall off the cleverer they are. My son was there for ages!
What a cruel mum I am!
I drink fizzy but tell Spud it’s horrible so he doesn’t ever want to taste it! I know how addictive coke can be! x
my 5 year old wanted to go the ghost train but we only had enough tokens for 1 person so he drove me mad to go on alone……..BIG MISTAKE…he was petrified when he came off!! worst mum of the year goes to me!!!
#sunfession one afternoon I was feeling so tired and my son wanted to play the Wii and I told him that he would need to wait until Daddy came in as I didn’t know how to use it.
I am not sure I can think of any. my 2 are street smart and out smart me!
thank you for an awesome prize love your review looks like youall had fun
Thanks great offer, I took my kids there in the summer, they had great fun!
