Zoological Gardens opened its gates in 1931 featuring
many bizarre animal exhibits from around the world.
Developing in to one of London's largest attractions, it
was renamed Chessington Zoo and continued to expand over
many decades.
Pearson’s, a subsidiary of the Tussauds Group bought the
Zoo in 1978, and over the following few years changed
the concept in to more of a theme park, finally
re-branding it Chessington World of Adventures in 1987.
Today, Chessington is owned by the Merlin Entertainments
Group and is one of the leading family orientated parks
in the UK.
