Chessington World of Adventures has today announced the eagerly anticipated £15 million immersive experience, World of PAW Patrol, will open its doors to the public on Sunday 3rd May – in time for the May Bank Holiday.
As excitement builds for the UK’s first and only land based on the pre-school series produced by Spin Master Entertainment, airing on Nickelodeon and streaming on Paramount+, one PAW Patrol fan has already put the park’s rides and play areas through its paces.
Following a nationwide search for the UK’s biggest PAW Patrol fan – a competition that received more than 2,000 entries – PAW Patrol fanatic, four-year-old Hallie Sawyer, from Southampton, was appointed World of PAW Patrol’s PAWject Manager.
Hallie landed the role after impressing judges by demonstrating how she lives the values of the pups every day, bringing compassion and kindness by encouraging friends and being her younger sister’s biggest helper and cheerleader.
Armed with boundless energy and PAW-sitivity as she stepped into the new role, Hallie’s duties involved ensuring the world is ruff ruff ready for action by testing rides and play areas and checking they exceed expectations for PAW Patrol fans across the world.
PAWject Manager, Hallie said, “I felt proud when I won – just like Chase, I’m on the case! My favourite was seeing Skye’s helicopters, because she is my favourite pup, and I want to be brave like her”.
The new images released today give a first look at unseen areas within the 1.4-acre land. The immersive experience will include three themed play areas where little fans can immerse themselves in tail-wagging fun inspired by their favourite pups, alongside themed dining all inspired by Adventure Bay. These include:
Rubble & Rocky’s Play Zone – the hands-on, climbable construction zone will see guests slide, climb, and explore alongside their favourite construction pup, Rubble. Junior eco-heroes can also climb, crawl, and tinker their way through a maze of repurposed parts. The interactive play space invites kids to explore, problem-solve, and invent alongside Rocky, turning “old” into “PAW-some”
The Flounder Boat Play – little explorers can help Captain Turbot on a high-seas adventure aboard the Flounder Boat
World of PAW Patrol will also feature themed food and beverage and retail offerings, serving up rescue-ready refreshments and souvenirs, as well as four thrilling rides, each themed around a beloved member of the PAW Patrol pack, including Chase’s Mountain Mission, Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue, Skye’s Helicopter Heroes, and Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure, the UK’s first ‘Drifter’ ride.
Chessington World of Adventure’s Vice President, Nick Bevan said ‘It’s safe to say Hallie was on the case, bringing such enthusiasm and “PAW-sitivity” to her important quality assurance mission. Her entry was a brilliant reminder of how the PAW Patrol values can be lived every day through care, teamwork, and doing the right thing. It has been great to witness the smiles the World of PAW Patrol has brought to our first visitor, and we can’t wait for families from across the world to experience the magic of PAW Patrol here at Chessington World of Adventures from 3rd May.”
Fans can experience PAW-tastic adventures at Chessington ahead of the land opening with a stay in one of the five PAW Patrol-themed hotel rooms – the first and only PAW Patrol accommodation in the UK. Each room sleeps up to two adults and three children. PAW Patrol hotel stays start from £155 for a family of four, including bed and breakfast. Hotel stays in a PAW Patrol-themed room include early ride access, and Fastrack bronze package.
