Saturday 21st March 2015
Penguin Bay has officially opened at Chessington World of Adventures and the new enclosure is beautiful. Featuring a penguin walkthrough you have the chance to walk among the penguins in a small section of the front of the main tank. We love the new penguin enclosure the use of bright colours and the huge plane in the middle of the enclosure makes for great photos when the penguins decide to jump on top and jump into the water! 

Penguin Bay Nears Completion
Saturday 21st February 2015
As the 2015 theme park season gets closer and closer the new penguin bay animal enclosure looks almost complete! The revamped penguin enclosure looks stunning and we cant wait to see the penguins move in and start to explore the enclosure. Since our last look at the construction site, the pillars around the windows have been themed and more theming has been added inside the enclosure. 

Windows Installed At Penguin Bay

In this weeks look at Penguin Bay, glass windows have been installed along the sides of the new enclosure. We expect the steal elements of them to be themed over the next few weeks. A large wooden boat has also been built at the back of the site, giving guests a tiered view over the enclosure. 

Ground Works Continue For Penguin Bay

Chessington has announced that 2015 will be the year of the penguins at the park! We now have official news that the enclosure will be undergoing a huge makeover. Groundworks continue throughout the constriction site and some sections of walls have been installed with a gap for what we expect will become keepers access into the enclosure. We can also already see part of the shape for the new enclosure with it being easily double the size of the last one! We cant wait to see the new penguins enclosure!

Chessington Refurbishes Penguin Enclosure
Sunday 23rd November 2014
Chessington looks set to refurbish the old Penguin enclosure located near the hotel entrance of the park. No plans or promotional material can yet be seen but the park has been giving all animal enclosures around the park some TLC over the past few months.
