The new Paw Patrol land at Chessington’s opened on Sunday 3rd May 2026, ready to roll for the summer season!
If your child loves Paw Patrol and is aged two to seven, World of Paw Patrol is one of the best new UK family attractions for 2026. The theming is excellent, the rides are aimed at younger children, and the whole area is just so much fun!
I decided to treat ourselves to a Merlin Annual Pass as we want to visit Warwick Castle this year, visit Paw Patrol World and I’ve got an adult only trip to Thorpe Park planned too!
I took my 3 year old with me, and we visited in opening week, on Wednesday 6th May (a weekday in term time) and had a brilliant time. Queues were not too long, manageable for a 3 year old who was incredibly excited to be immersed in Adventure Bay.
Here’s our Paw Patrol World review, how to make the most of it with kids, and some top tips you might need.
What is Paw Patrol World?
Paw Patrol World is an immersive, interactive experience, taking your pre-schooler straight into the action in Adventure Bay. It’s great for kids aged 2 and up (as most of the rides are 90cm or taller) and is one of the best new lands we’ve visited.
We’ve visited World of Frozen in Disneyland Paris, but I’d say the new Paw Patrol World is more fun than
With a minimum height of 90cm, adults are expected to ride with their children up to around 1.1m.
Rides
There are 4 new rides in the Paw Patrol area, which are all great entry level rides for budding theme park enthusiasts!
All rides are outside, queues are outside, so if it rains – you’ll get wet! Only the shop and meet and greet are inside areas.
🚤 Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure
Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure ride is a thrilling whizzing ride, which allows you to control how often you want to accelerate round the circle.
It’s a really fun ride, but for a small child, the forces of being thrown around (a bit like in a Waltzer) may be too much.
We rode this once, with a queue time of around 15 minutes.
🚨 Chase’s Mountain Mission
Chase’s Mountain Mission is an entry level rollercoaster for children (and adults!) over 90cm tall. You enter through headquarters where you’re alerted to a mission you need to complete.
We rode this twice towards the end of the day, with only a 10 to 15 minute queue time. Earlier in the day queues were between 30 and 45 minutes.
🚁 Skye’s Helicopter Heroes
Skye’s Helicopter Heroes is the most gentle ride in Paw Patrol Land. Children sit at the front of the helicopter and can pretend to fly around the sky, ready to help! Adults can climb into the back, but it’s a fairly tight squeeze.
This is a great ride if your child is uncertain, as there’s very little peril!
We rode it once, and the queue took around 15 minutes.
🚒 Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue
Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue was my son’s absolutely favourite ride.
It took him a few attempts to want to go on it (he kept saying he’ll go on it later), but then once we’d been on it once, we then had to go on it four more times!
It used to be situated elsewhere at Chessington’s, so isn’t a new ride, but has been themed into Marshall’s Firetruck.
It goes round and round in a vertical circle and makes your tummy feel funny, but was so much fun! Queues were less than a minute in the afternoon, as we were able to get off, then go straight back through the queue to get on again!
Meet and Greets
We met 3 Paw Patrol characters at Chessington. The queues were really short (c. 5 minutes per character) and we met:
- Chase
- Rubble
- Marshall
You receive a photopass ticket, so you can have a whole family photo, or otherwise you can use your phone.
Digital Photopass at Chessington’s currently costs £30
They change characters regularly, so keep checking in.
Where can we meet the Paw Patrol Characters?
The Paw Patrol Meet and Greet is situated in Adventure Bay’s Town Hall, with the entrance next to Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue.
Top Tips for visiting Paw Patrol World with kids
Shopping at Paw Patrol World at Chessington
- The shop is pretty hidden within the town hall, so you can skip it if you don’t want to negotiate over toys.
- If you do visit the Paw Patrol shop, there are stickers and tattoos for £2, or there are smaller Paw Patrol cars that are £12, or larger vehicles that are £25.
First Aid at Paw Patrol World
- Need first aid at Paw Patrol? Ask a member of staff for the first aid room, or for smaller accidents, the Paw Patrol shop sells wipes, Paw Patrol plasters and tissues.
Queue times at Paw Patrol World
- Queues were longer in the morning, but by 2pm Paw Patrol World was getting quieter and queue times were shrinking.
- On a weekday in term time, in opening week, queues were typically between 5-30 minutes.
- Queues are shorter in the afternoon and towards the end of the day.
- In June or July, there tend to be lots of school trips, which may increase wait times, and in school holidays wait times are always a lot longer due to the crowds.
Food in Paw Patrol World?
- There is a small food location within Paw Patrol World which does sandwiches, crepes and snacks (Bear fruit snacks, biscuits, and drinks).
- We ended up having lunch elsewhere in the park as we
- There are picnic benches and a small grass area if you want to take your own picnic lunch to eat at Paw Patrol Land.
- There is no indoor seating area in Paw Patrol Land, so if it rains – you’ll get wet!
Are there toilets or baby change in Paw Patrol World?
- There are toilets in the ‘town hall’ of Paw Patrol World and there are a few baby change areas too.
- If you’re looking for toddler toilet seats, Paw Patrol World is missing them, but they can be found around the rest of Chessingtons. Not sure why they’ve not added the child toilet seats in Paw Patrol World, given it’s themed for the little ones!
- Download the app to make sure you know where your closest toilets are!
My child is scared of theme park rides, is Paw Patrol Land for them?
- Definitely! There’s a large themed play area, a fun slide, meet and greets and themed food. It’s a really fun space.
- I’d recommend Skye’s Helicopter Heroes for nervous first-timers, as whilst it goes quite high, it’s a very slow and gentle ride, so a great introduction for worried theme park attendees.
- Please don’t do what we saw on our visit and hold up the ride by trying to force your child onto a ride they are terrified of. It delays the queue for everyone else, and probably traumatises your child! It’s frustrating having queued up for a ride that your kid then freaks out about, but at the end of the day, it’s only a ride!
- The rest of Chessingtons has animals, Zufari and some smaller rides (like the carousel), which are nice and gentle and great theme park introductions.
Would I recommend Paw Patrol World?
Overall, Paw Patrol World at Chessington World of Adventure was a perfect UK day out with kids, and we can’t wait to return!
The 3 year old has already asked to return with his friends, and can’t wait to visit again!
Before Paw Patrol Land, Chessington’s had become a very sad and very unloved theme park. We live nearby so we have visited a few times, but compared to places like Paulton’s Park, the general theming, upkeep and ride queue times has typically been poor at Chessington, but now, Paw Patrol Land really has turned the park around, and made it a *must visit* attraction!
