Looking for some family-friendly inspiration for your holiday?Tenerife holidays have the perfect solution in Siam Park, one of the most exciting water parks in the whole of Europe, that opened in 2008. In honour of the park’s Siamese roots, it is not only the buildings and attractions at Siam Park that have an oriental flavour – the food does too.. As well as the park’s restaurants serving up a range of delicious Thai delicacies, the traditional floating market also offers you the chance to take some home. 

Even on winter holidays the park’s slides and other attractions beckon and it’s a good way to keep warm. If you fancy something more stimulating however, there’s always the Naga Racer, a six-lane racing slide and the infamous Tower of Power which gives you the opportunity to view the park’s stingrays and sharks from a different angle. Away from the main attractions is the artificial beach and the wave pool, which is the most complex in the world. There’s even a Siam Surfing School on-site where you can learn this exciting sport.

Loro Parque in Tenerife, known locally as ‘Parrot Park’, has an impressive collection of birds, especially parrots and is a great favourite with all bird lovers. As well as being the home of the most diverse collection of parrots in the world, it is also one of the most respected zoological sites – and one of the Canary Islands’ biggest visitor attractions. Within its 135,000 square metres are an array of fascinating creatures, shows and more. Boasting an amazing 350 different species of parrots, which you would expect given the name of the park, the parrots definitely take top billing. Bird watchers will also be amazed by the park’s collection of more than 4,000 other birds. The gigantic aquarium here houses dolphins, penguins and frightening killer whales which is well-worth a visit after viewing all the bird-life. As well as putting on Europe’s largest dolphin show, Loro Parque has one of the world’s largest penguin exhibitions and shark tunnels.
