With year-round mild climate and an incredible variety of activities, Tenerife is perfect for families wanting to combine adventure and relaxation.
Siam Park - Europe's Best Water Park
Siam Park has been voted the world's best water park multiple times - and for good reason. The Thai-themed park offers attractions for all ages: from gentle slides in the "Sawasdee" children's area to the breathtaking "Tower of Power," where brave swimmers race 28 meters through a shark tank.
Particularly attractive for families are the Lost City area with interactive water games and the Mai Thai River, a relaxed lazy river through tropical landscapes. The wave pool generates waves up to three meters high - perfect for little surfers.
Loro Parque - More Than a Zoo
Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is one of the world's best animal parks. Originally founded as a parrot park, it now houses an impressive variety of animals. The orca, dolphin, and sea lion shows delight children, while the Penguin Planet with its Antarctic simulation fascinates.
Special highlights for families include the Katandra Treetops - a walk-through aviary - and the children's zoo where young visitors can experience animals up close.
Teide National Park - Volcano Adventure for the Family
Mount Teide at 3,718 meters is Spain's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For families, a cable car ride to the summit is an unforgettable experience. The moonlike landscape of lava fields and volcanic cones fascinates children and adults alike.
The Roques de García offer easy hiking trails through bizarre rock formations - perfect for families with children.
Beaches for Families
Playa de las Teresitas near Santa Cruz is Tenerife's only golden sand beach - the sand was imported from the Sahara. The calm, shallow water is ideal for families with young children.
In the south, Playa del Duque offers first-class infrastructure with loungers, restaurants, and water sports.
More Family Attractions
Jungle Park in the south combines zoo and amusement park. Bird of prey shows, a walk-through jungle trail, and slides offer a varied day.
Whale watching tours from Los Cristianos or Puerto Colón bring families close to pilot whales and dolphins.
Family-Friendly Accommodations
Family resorts in Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas offer all-inclusive options, kids' clubs, and pool landscapes.
