Luca is the biggest “Paw Tall” fan, once he hit 90cm we had to check out the new Paw Patrol area at Chessington.
There are 4 rides, you need to be 90cm for them all:
- Chase’s Mountain Mission - A family-friendly coaster.
- Skye’s Helicopter Heroes - A small tower ride or rotating flight ride.
- Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure - A spinning, rider-controlled drifting ride.
- Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue.
In the centre there’s a playground area with picnic benches. You can also meet the pups throughout the day.
There’s a gift shop that wasn’t TOO extortionate. It was £12 for a small plushie or £8 for a pup fluffy ball thing (this is what we got the boys). There is a hook a duck (catch a bone) game, but I didn’t rate the odds of winning so decided the gift shop would be better value 😅
It’s quite a small area, but for a paw patrol fan it’s worth a visit! The rest of the park had lots of things for our 90cm 2 year old to do too. Chessington is a fab park for the tiny ones.
I’ve got a link in my linktree to a current hotel offer for Chessington - you get two days of park tickets with an overnight stay and breakfast. That also gets you early entry into the park, which is a great way to do Paw Patrol land with short queues.
