Theme parks and Water Parks

Tenerife offers a wide variety of theme parks, with water-based, zoological, cultural, sporting and adventure activities. This range makes it possible to choose an experience suited to the interests and ages of the people taking part in the trip. Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje specialise in water attractions, with pools, slides and areas designed for different types of visitors. Loro Parque and Parque Las Águilas–Jungle Park offer experiences related to animals, nature and environmental education. Forestal Park Tenerife offers treetop courses, zip lines and high-rope activities, while Karting Club Tenerife provides driving experiences on tracks adapted to different types of visitors. The Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park completes the range with a cultural and natural route through its exhibitions, gardens and outdoor spaces. Before choosing, it is worth checking the age or height restrictions, the recommended length of the visit, the available services and whether advance booking is required.

Most of Tenerife’s theme parks are concentrated in the south of the island. Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje are located in Adeje, Parque Las Águilas–Jungle Park is in Arona, and Karting Club Tenerife is in San Miguel de Abona. In the north, Loro Parque is located in Puerto de la Cruz. It can be a particularly convenient option for visitors staying in this area, although it also attracts people from other parts of the island. Forestal Park Tenerife is situated in El Rosario, in a forested area near Las Lagunetas. The Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park is located in the municipality of Güímar, on the eastern side of Tenerife. Before organising your visit, check the distance from your accommodation and the available transport options. Some parks may provide shuttle services or pick-up points, but these services depend on the individual venue’s arrangements.

Tenerife’s theme parks can be visited throughout the year thanks to the island’s mild climate. The best time will depend on the type of park, the activities you wish to enjoy and whether you prefer a lively atmosphere or a quieter visit. The warmer months are particularly pleasant for visiting Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje, as they allow you to make the most of the pools, slides and water areas. Both parks are open throughout the year, although their opening hours may be extended during certain periods. Summer and the school holidays are usually the busiest times. If you are looking for pleasant temperatures and a more relaxed experience, spring and autumn can offer a good balance. At any time of year, buying tickets in advance and arriving close to opening time will help you make the most of the day. Loro Parque, Parque Las Águilas–Jungle Park and the Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park are good options throughout the year. On very hot days, it is advisable to take breaks, use sun protection and seek out shaded areas during the middle of the day. For the courses at Forestal Park Tenerife, it is advisable to choose a day without rain or strong winds and to wear comfortable clothing and closed footwear. At Karting Club Tenerife, it is also worth checking the weather and operating conditions in advance, particularly when rain is forecast. Before organising your visit, check the official opening hours of your chosen park and the weather forecast for that part of the island. Conditions may vary between the north, the south and the forested areas, even on the same day.

Most of Tenerife’s theme parks, amusement parks and water parks are open throughout the year, although their opening hours may change according to the season. Siam Park, Aqualand Costa Adeje, Loro Parque, Parque Las Águilas–Jungle Park and the Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park operate during the different months of the year. Water parks generally have longer opening hours during the summer months and slightly shorter hours in winter. This does not mean that they close outside the summer season, but it may affect the amount of time available to enjoy the pools and attractions. Forestal Park Tenerife operates according to a seasonal calendar. Depending on the time of year, it may open only on certain days of the week, public holidays and during school holidays, while at other times it extends its activity to every day. Advance booking is also particularly advisable to secure an entry time. Karting Club Tenerife also allows activities to be booked throughout the year, although the available sessions, transport services and opening hours may vary depending on the season and demand. It is advisable to check the booking calendar before travelling there. Before purchasing tickets, always check the official calendar of your chosen park. Opening hours may change during public holidays, special events, maintenance work or adverse weather conditions.

The best park will depend on the children’s ages, their interests and the type of activity the family enjoys. For water lovers, Siam Park has family and children’s areas such as Lost City and Sawasdee, while Aqualand has themed areas designed for younger visitors. Loro Parque and Jungle Park may appeal to families interested in animals and nature. Jungle Park combines its zoological areas with rope courses, bridges and walkways, while Loro Parque has children’s areas, immersive experiences, food outlets and rest areas. Pirámides de Güímar offers a quieter and more educational approach, with a museum, exhibitions, gardens and outdoor routes. Forestal Park is aimed at children with greater physical independence: to use its courses, they must be at least five years old and at least 1.10 metres tall. Karting Club Tenerife has a junior track, although it is advisable to confirm the requirements for each type of vehicle directly with the venue. Before booking, check the age, height and supervision restrictions for each attraction. Two siblings who pay the same admission price may not have access to the same activities if they are different ages or heights.

The price depends on the park, the visitor’s age, whether they are a resident, the type of ticket and any additional services. Some venues offer children’s rates, group discounts, premium experiences or combined tickets for visiting more than one park. To find out the final price, open the park’s information page and follow the link to its official platform. Check whether the price includes all attractions or whether there are additional paid services, such as parking, lockers, towel hire, special experiences, food or photographs. You should also review the cancellation conditions and the validity of the ticket. A promotion may be less convenient if it requires you to visit on a specific day or excludes services you will need during your visit.

The safest option is to buy tickets on the park’s official website or at its ticket office. From our page, you can access the contact details and website of each venue to check availability, prices and admission options. Buying online can make entry easier and allow you to check the visiting conditions in advance. Some parks recommend purchasing tickets beforehand, while Forestal Park requires visitors to make a reservation before attending. Before paying, check the name of the park, the number and ages of the visitors, the selected date and the services included. Avoid unidentified resale platforms and keep the confirmation email or QR code for your purchase.

Services vary depending on the type of park. Water parks may have changing rooms, showers, lockers, sun loungers, parasols, towel hire and food outlets. Siam Park also has private areas and VIP experiences, while Aqualand has shops and photography services. Zoological parks offer restaurants, shops and additional activities. Jungle Park has parking, food outlets, animal experiences and an additional paid slide. Loro Parque offers restaurants, picnic areas, Wi-Fi, wheelchair hire and pushchair hire, among other services. Forestal Park provides the necessary equipment, a safety briefing, high-rope courses and a picnic area. Pirámides de Güímar has a café, audio guides, guided tours on request and outdoor exhibitions. Karting Club Tenerife offers kart hire, a bar-restaurant and free transport from certain locations.

Yes. Some parks offer packages for birthdays, family celebrations or groups. The conditions depend on the venue, the number of participants and the chosen activities, so it is necessary to request information and book in advance. Loro Parque offers birthday celebrations with activities linked to the visit, while Forestal Park has specific options for children’s and adults’ birthdays, as well as celebrations in natural surroundings. Before confirming, ask what the package includes: admission, food, supervision, a reserved area, an activity, decorations or a gift. It is also worth checking the minimum age, supervision ratios and the conditions that apply if the weather changes.

It depends on the park. Some allow visitors to buy tickets at the ticket office, although they recommend purchasing them in advance to help plan the day more effectively. Loro Parque, for example, advises advance purchase but also sells tickets on the day of the visit. Advance booking is compulsory at Forestal Park because activities begin at set times and require equipment and a safety briefing. Celebrations, school visits and group activities also require advance planning. At weekends, on public holidays and during school holidays, it is particularly advisable to check availability. You should also check the opening hours and the latest admission time, as different parks require different amounts of time to complete a visit.

To visit several parks in the south, staying in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos or nearby areas can reduce travelling times to Siam Park, Aqualand, Jungle Park and Karting Club Tenerife. If your main aim is to visit Loro Parque, Puerto de la Cruz and other destinations in the north may be more convenient. Pirámides de Güímar is located in the east of the island, while Forestal Park is situated in a forested area of El Rosario, on the road connecting La Esperanza with Teide. It is not essential to choose a hotel associated with a park. The most useful approach is to compare the distance, available transport, parking and the other places you wish to visit during your trip.

Accessibility varies depending on the park, its facilities and the type of activity. Although some venues have adapted routes, mobility aids or specific assistance, not all attractions can be used under the same conditions. Slides, adventure courses and karts, for example, may require independent mobility, the ability to transfer or compliance with certain safety requirements. The Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park has adapted routes for people with reduced mobility and offers audio guides so visitors can explore at their own pace. Loro Parque allows visitors to request wheelchairs and hire electric mobility vehicles, with the latter requiring advance booking and being subject to availability. At Forestal Park Tenerife, the treetop courses and zip lines require a minimum level of physical ability. People with physical, sensory or intellectual disabilities, or any other specific support needs, should contact the park in advance so that the team can assess whether the activity can be adapted to their circumstances. At Siam Park, Aqualand Costa Adeje, Parque Las Águilas–Jungle Park and Karting Club Tenerife, access to each attraction may depend on its characteristics and safety rules. Jungle Park recommends speaking directly to its staff when a person with reduced mobility wishes to take part in certain experiences. Before buying tickets, it is advisable to contact the chosen park and explain the visitor’s specific requirements. Ask about access, adapted toilets, wheelchair loans, the availability of reserved parking spaces, rest areas and the conditions for each attraction. This will help you prepare a more comfortable visit and understand which activities each member of the group can enjoy.
