Ticket Prices: Chessington World of Adventures

Hi,


I am planning to take my 2 year old on his birthday this coming May on a Sunday with my wife.



I was wondering if anyone had ideas about what the cheapest tickets would cost. I dont want to buy a Merlin pass or use Tesco Club Card vouchers.


As far as I am aware my 2 year old doesnt require a ticket.From my research if I use National Rail voucher 2for1 voucher the cost is £43.20 for 2 adults.



But does one need to have 1 SINGLE ticket to Chessington South as the final destination?? Or are 2 required for 2 adults??



If I have missed a better deal or assumed anything wrongly I hope someone could kindly assist.


I also welcome other suggestions or comments for our trip.


Thanking you in advance.

    I would like to add the cheapest single ticket I found is from Chessington North to Chessington South costing £2.00. So I assuming I can use this ticket for the National Rail 2 for 1 offer.

    Each person needs a train ticket

    Thank you for your quick response. We will drive there. Sorry forgot to add that bit.

    I was looking at Money Saving Expert's recommendations on the Chessington , and it said a single which is why I got confused.



    So, from what I gathered if I get 2 singles from North to Chessington South I should be ok.

    Hi, it is only children under 90cm in height who do not require a ticket so might be worth measuring your two year old before you go.
