Water parks make for a memorable destination during a family vacation ( or otherwise) and there are so many in Tenerife that you’re going to have a tough time choosing that fits your family/ friend circle! However, to make things easier for you, we have broken down everything you need to know about the two best waterparks in Tenerife - Siam Water Park & Aqualand Waterpark. In a crux, if you’re looking for adrenaline rush and swift water rapids , Siam Park is for you. On the other hand, if you’re traveling with kids and are looking for more family friendly rides, then Aqualand is a better fit.
Siam Water Park is the biggest waterpark in Europe and has been nominated as the “best waterpark in the world” by TripAdvisor 5 times in a row! With a multitude of impressive water slides that allow you to surf giant waves, slide at top speed from the highest heights or even cross through a shark-infested pool! Not to forget the Wave Palace which has the highest artificial waves in the world. With 3 meters of wave to be surfed by, it is one of the most edgy experiences here. The park is Thai themed and it also holds the record for having the largest collection of Thai-themed buildings outside Thailand. Quite the record holder! To keep in sync with the Thailand experience, the park even serves Thai food and even has a Thai floating market.
Located in Costa Adeje, Aqualand is another water park in Tenerife that is known for being the best family-friendly park on the islands. It is home to the only dolphin show of its kind in the Canary Islands and was awarded the label of 'best dolphin show in the world', by the International Association of Marine Animal Trainers. With an open-air spa with its heated Jacuzzi and hydro-massage showers alongside a set of great rides that suit all age groups, a day here promises fun and frolic galore.
