Best family activities in Tenerife

There’s plenty to do for families in Tenerife besides beach days.

• Spend the day at Siam Park, Tenerife’s best-known waterpark, with thrilling slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and splash areas for younger children.
• Loro Parque is the place to get up close to wildlife for keen animal lovers. In Puerto de la Cruz, it’s easy to access and you can see a range of incredible wildlife like penguins, sea lions, parrots and so much more.
• Head out on a boat trip from Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos to spot whales and dolphins in the waters around Tenerife.
• Mount Teide National Park is a great family day out to discover the volcanic landscapes, dramatic viewpoints and family-friendly walking routes. The cable car is another way to take in the scenery, subject to age, weather and operating restrictions.
• Aqualand Costa Adeje is your best pick for a day to keep cool. Enjoy waterslides, pools and splash areas for different ages, with a dolphin presentation also at the park.
