If there’s one thing that kids these days are madly, inexplicably obsessed with, it’s Paw Patrol. There are cute puppies, transforming cars, goodies and baddies, cool gadgets and catchy tunes – it’s the perfect formula, really. And what could possibly be better than watching Paw Patrol on TV? Why, living it out in real life, of course.
It’s time to get excited, because in 2026 that’ll become a possibility. Next year, Chessington World of Adventures will become the home of the UK’s very first Paw Patrol land.
There is already a Paw Patrol Adventure Bay at Nickelodeon Adventure Lakeside in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, but this will be the first theme park area fully dedicated to the TV show. Spanning 1.4 acres and built for kids aged around two to five years old, there will be four themed rides, play areas and interactive character ‘meet and greet’ events. Those rides will include an entry-level ‘my first rollercoaster’ for the little ones.
While Paw Patrol land won’t be ready until 2026, kids will be able to say hi to pups Chase, Skye and Rubble from this spring as they help oversee construction. Meet and greet experiences will open from May 24. From September 3 to September 26, the park will launch PAW Patrol Autumn Adventure, offering fans the chance to meet their favourite pups and have access to 20 preschool rides and attractions.
Howard Ebison, divisional director of Chessington World of Adventures, said: ‘Our purpose at Chessington is to be the UK’s greatest place for young families to create lifelong memories. As one of the world’s leading pre-school brands - delighting children across the globe with the stories of Adventure Bay - the power and appeal of PAW Patrol is unparalleled.
‘It’s a great privilege to join forces with Paramount to create this immersive land – the UK’s first and only PAW Patrol themed land - to provide magic and excitement for our young guests.’
