Chessington Zoo was founded in 1931 in the grounds of a mansion of considerable history, which can be traced back to 1348. The estate was acquired by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard, a Flight Lieutenant from the Great War, who needed a place to house his exotic animal collection.
The Zoo at Chessington has developed into an exciting animal conservation centre, with many of the animals being threatened or endangered species in the wild. The Zoo runs many successful breeding programmes and also operates the Chessington Conservation Fund, which has raised £318,707.00 to date.
Visitors to Chessington World of Adventures can also enjoy family theme park rides, a SEA LIFE centre and two world-class hotels, with views across the resorts reserves which house numerous African animals.
