Three spots in Tenerife where children instantly switch into that excited, wide-eyed mode
If you have a school-age child, you already know one thing: a simple beach day isn’t always enough. Kids at that age want movement, discoveries, a bit of thrill and stories they can later tell their friends.
And Tenerife is perfect for that. There are a few places here where children instantly switch into that amazing, excited mode. The kind where you just look at them and think: yes, this was worth it.
Here are three spots that never fail — tested, real and perfect for families.
1. Siam Park — where adrenaline meets pure joy
There’s a reason Siam Park is regularly voted the best water park in the world. For school-age kids, it’s simply paradise. Big slides, wave pools, the not-so-lazy lazy river, and every corner offering something to explore.
Most adults end up having just as much fun as the kids — and that’s the best part.
A small tip: come early in the morning. The water feels nicer and the queues are shorter.
2. Jungle Park — a small adventure in a big world
Jungle Park is something completely different. It feels like stepping into a little jungle full of hidden paths, animals, tropical plants and hanging bridges. It’s perfect for a child who loves animals, adventure and the feeling of discovering something new.
There are shows, large enclosures and quiet corners where kids suddenly slow down, look around and say: this is really cool.
3. Vivo Mini Golf — simple fun that brings everyone together
Mini golf seems simple until you see your child make the most serious face in the world while trying to win. Vivo Mini Golf in Las Americas is the kind of place where the atmosphere is light, the laughter comes easily and the whole family ends up having a genuinely good time.
It’s perfect for an evening after the beach or a relaxed day when you want to do something fun without rushing anywhere.
Should you visit all three?
If you want your child to go back home with that bright spark in their eyes, then yes.
These are the places that create memories — simple, fun and full of the kind of energy children never forget.
