Things To Do

Family Activities in Tenerife

Tenerife may be Europe's best year-round family destination — calm beaches, world-class theme parks, easy hikes, dolphin tours and a culture that genuinely welcomes children.

Top activities by age

Under 8: Loro Parque, Aqualand, Playa de Las Vistas, Submarine Safaris. 8–12: Siam Park, dolphin catamarans, Forestal Park treetop adventure, Teide cable car. Teens: kayak with turtles in El Puertito, surf lessons in Las Américas, jet-ski safaris, stargazing tours.

Best base for families

Costa Adeje (Playa Fañabé, walkable to Siam Park) and Los Cristianos (huge accessible beach, lots of family-priced hotels) are the easiest starting points.

Practical tips

Spanish lunch service is late (1–4pm) — pack a snack. Tenerife is car-seat-friendly; pre-book seats with your rental. Pharmacies stock most international baby supplies.
