Tenerife / The verdict
Is Siam Park worth it?
Go if your group will ride. Entry from EUR 44 buys a day on slides that the park's own site calls the world's top-ranked, but visitors report packed afternoons, long drink queues and a Fast Pass that leaves out two headline rides.

The Tenerife story
Tenerife is the biggest and most varied of the Canary Islands: Spain's highest peak rising out of a lunar national park, ancient laurel forest in the Anaga mountains, natural lava pools on the north coast, and the dense resort strip around Costa Adeje and Playa de las Americas in the south. The island effectively runs two climates, the sunny dry south where the resorts sit and the greener, cooler north around Puerto de la Cruz.
The verdict in 30 seconds
Go
Go if your group will ride. Entry from EUR 44 buys a day on slides that the park's own site calls the world's top-ranked, but visitors report packed afternoons, long drink queues and a Fast Pass that leaves out two headline rides.
Go if
- Families and groups with riders tall enough for the headline slides; one family's ride guide lists 1.25 m for the Dragon and 1.40 m for Tower of Power
- Water park fans; the park's own site lists ten consecutive years as the world's top-ranked water park
- Visitors doing both big parks; the Siam Park and Loro Parque twin ticket is EUR 78 per adult
Skip if
- Nobody in your party wants to ride; one visit report notes there are no spectator tickets, so everyone pays the full price
- Your children are small; many slides carry height limits of 1.10 m or more, and a comparison from a travel blog suggests Aqualand Costa Adeje for young children
- You will arrive mid-morning in peak season; visitors describe the park as much busier after 14:00 and a nearly hour-long wait for one headline ride

What travelers report
Based on 7 traveler reports (Feb 2025 to Aug 2026) and the official sources linked on this page. 1 was negative.
What people like
- Visitors enjoyed the slides, wave pool and lazy river, and a family of five called the day one of the highlights of their Tenerife trip.
- A family with children aged 7 to 10 found the park spotless and well themed.
- Arriving early paid off for one blogger: a 09:15 taxi meant no queue at the gate and a ride on Saifa among the first of the day.
- The information office can issue a Fast Pass for a child with additional needs plus one carer on proof of diagnosis, according to one family's account.
What people complain about
- Afternoons get crowded: one visit report found the park much busier after 14:00, a 30-minute wait at a drinks stand and a nearly hour-long queue for Singha.
- A news report quotes a visitor calling the ride waits fun-destroying and bar waits of 45 to 60 minutes, and cites a study that ranked the park third most disappointing attraction worldwide.
- Even on a cold weekday outside school holidays, one family found the park very busy.
- The free hotel shuttle reached the park around 10:00, when it was already busy, according to one blogger.
- Fast Pass costs extra and excludes Tower of Power and the Mai Thai River.
- There are no spectator tickets; everyone pays full price, according to one visit report.
How to do it right
- Book the e-ticket and plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before the 10:00 opening, as one family advises; a blogger reports gates letting people in from about 09:15.
- If rides are the point, consider a taxi over the free hotel shuttle: one blogger's shuttle arrived around 10:00 into a busy park, while a 09:15 taxi meant walking straight in.
- Head for the big rides first, such as Tower of Power, Kinnaree and the Dragon, before queues build; one visit report had a nearly hour-long wait for Singha later in the day.
- Budget the extras: the park charges EUR 7 for parking (limited places), a family reports a free hilltop car park beside Siam Mall a short walk from the gate, and the park says locker and towel rental is not included in the ticket.
- Check every rider's height before buying anything; one family's ride guide lists 1.25 m for the Dragon, 1.40 m for Tower of Power and 1.10 m for Jungle Snakes, and a travel blog says many slides need 1.20 m or 1.40 m.
- In July and August the park runs Siam Night on Tuesday to Saturday evenings; adult tickets are EUR 48 on the official ticket page, and the park says more than 120,000 people attended in 2026.
The trap to avoid
Buying a Fast Pass assuming it covers everything. The official site says Fast Pass Unlimited excludes Tower of Power and the Mai Thai River, and that limited Fast Pass sales happen only inside the park, so check which pass you are buying and what it skips.
Why this verdict
Go if at least some of your group will ride. Siam Park’s own site lists ten consecutive years as the world’s top-ranked water park, and the visitor reports in our log are mostly happy about the slides, the wave pool and the lazy river. A family of five with children aged 7 to 10 called it one of the highlights of their Tenerife trip, and a theme-park vlogger toured the big slides and wave pool and called it an amazing water park.
The complaints cluster around crowds. One family visited on a cold, grey weekday outside school holidays and still found the park very busy. Another visitor said it became much busier after 14:00, waited 30 minutes at a drinks stand and queued almost an hour for Singha. A news report quotes a visitor calling the waits fun-destroying and cites a study that ranked the park third on a list of the world’s most disappointing attractions, with about a third of reviews negative. That is the only negative report among the seven in our log, but it points at the same weakness the mixed reports describe.
Timing is the usual answer. Two visitors recommend an early start, one at least 20 to 30 minutes before the 10:00 opening and one at about 09:15, when gates reportedly begin letting people in. A blogger who took the free hotel shuttle arrived around 10:00 into a busy park and queued for an hour at the first ride; the next day a 09:15 taxi meant walking straight in and riding Saifa among the first.
Value depends on who is in the group. Admission starts at EUR 44 online for ages 12 and up, and one visit report notes that spectators pay the same price as riders. Height limits matter: one family’s ride guide lists 1.25 m for the Dragon and 1.40 m for Tower of Power. A comparison from a travel blog suggests Aqualand Costa Adeje as the calmer, more affordable choice for families with young children.
Timing and tickets
Book an e-ticket and plan to arrive before the 10:00 opening, then ride the big slides first. The official site says Fast Pass Unlimited (EUR 99) excludes Tower of Power and the Mai Thai River, so check which pass you are buying. If you are doing Loro Parque too, the twin ticket is EUR 78 per adult. In July and August the park runs Siam Night on Tuesday to Saturday evenings, with adult tickets at EUR 48. Prices come from the official ticket pages and were checked on 2026-10-07.

Questions
How much does Siam Park cost in 2026?
General admission starts at EUR 44 online for ages 12 and up and EUR 32 for children aged 3 to 11; ages 0 to 2 are free. The Loro Parque twin ticket is EUR 78 per adult and Fast Pass Unlimited is EUR 99 (official ticket pages, checked 2026-10-07). Parking is EUR 7, and locker and towel rental costs extra.
Is the Siam Park Fast Pass worth buying?
Visitors split. One family calls skip-the-line access a must even on a cold off-season weekday, while another says Fast Passes make life easier but are not essential. The official site says the unlimited pass excludes Tower of Power and the Mai Thai River, so it will not shorten every long queue.
Is Siam Park good for small children?
The park has areas built for children, such as Sawasdee and The Lost City, and a family with boys aged 7 to 10 found something for each age. Many slides still carry height limits of 1.10 m or more, and a travel blog comparison suggests Aqualand Costa Adeje as the more affordable, calmer choice for families with young children.
How do you get to Siam Park?
The park runs free double-decker shuttle buses from Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, with morning pick-ups from about 09:30 (see the official directions page for stops and times). A paid bus serves the north and south of the island at EUR 21 for adults round trip. One blogger found the free shuttle arrived around 10:00 and preferred a taxi at 09:15. Parking at the park is EUR 7.
What is Siam Night?
The park's summer evening event, held on Tuesday to Saturday in July and August. Adult tickets (ages 12 and up) are EUR 48 and children 3 to 11 pay EUR 36 on the official ticket page. The park's own blog says more than 120,000 people attended in 2026, 20 percent more than the year before.
Is Siam Park worth it if we do not ride slides?
Probably not. One visit report notes there are no spectator tickets, so everyone pays the full price. The Mai Thai lazy river, wave pool and beach areas are pleasant, but the ticket pays off most for riders.
