Animal Crossing Makes a Splash at Chessington

Animal Crossing has arrived at Chessington, bringing the charm of island life to the SEA LIFE Aquarium for the whole of August. From 1st to 31st August 2025, visitors can step into a real-life Animal Crossing: New Horizons adventure, where the colourful world of the game meets the wonders of the ocean.

Guests can follow a themed trail through the aquarium, meeting fan-favourite characters like Tom Nook, Isabelle, Aurora, and Octavian along the way. There are stamps to collect, fun facts to uncover about the aquarium’s marine residents, and even a playful search for Gulliver, who’s once again found himself washed ashore.

For an extra treat, daily meet and greet sessions give you the chance to snap a memorable photo with your favourite villager, making the day even more special. Best of all, this event is included with standard SEA LIFE admission, so your ticket unlocks both the magic of the game and the beauty of the underwater world. It’s a month-long celebration that blends cosy game nostalgia with real-life discovery.
