Siam Park needs no introduction - it's been voted the world's best water park by TripAdvisor for years running. Authentic Thai theming (built with materials imported from Thailand, inaugurated by Princess Chakri Sirindhorn). Rides for everyone: from Tower of Power (near-vertical slide through a shark aquarium) to Wave Palace (giant artificial waves) and Mai Tai River (lazy river to relax). For small kids: The Lost City (huge structure with mini slides) and Sawasdee. This description isn't going to convince you to go - you already knew. What you need are the TIPS below.
TF-1 → Costa Adeje/Siam Park exit (signposted). Park parking €7.
FREE park bus from Los Cristianos (stops at C.C. Pasarela, Princesa Dácil), Las Américas (C.C. Presidente, Best Tenerife, Llanos de Troya) and Costa Adeje (C.C. El Duque, Fañabé Plaza, Ocean Park). Also regular TITSA lines.
Get here by busPark parking: €7, not very large - arrive early (before 10am). If full, there's overflow parking nearby. Alternative: use the free park shuttle bus from your hotel area.
Navigate to parkingKEY TIPS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE:
1. ARRIVE 20-30 MIN BEFORE OPENING - gates open on time and the first 30-60 min queues are minimal. Go STRAIGHT to Tower of Power (always the longest queue, does NOT accept Fast Pass).
2. FAST PASS: buy it INSIDE the park (not online), costs €28-38. Sells out on busy days. Use it in the AFTERNOON when queues build up - mornings you don't need it. NOTE: the standard pass only allows 1 use per ride.
3. EAT AT OFF-HOURS - between 12-2pm everyone eats and ride queues drop. Eat at 11am or 3pm. The Thai Bar (by Naga Racer) tends to be less crowded than the burger spots.
4. WATER SHOES - bring water shoes (or buy them there ~€10). Not having to put on/take off flip-flops at every ride saves time and avoids losing them.
5. TWIN TICKET - if you're also going to Loro Parque, buy the combo and save €10-15.
6. FOR FAMILIES WITH KIDS: The Lost City and Sawasdee are the kids' zones. Mai Tai River has family floats (2-3 people). Wave Palace: little ones can stay at the shore where the waves arrive small.
7. LOCKERS: rent one near the entrance, leave everything there. Don't carry a bag around the park.
8. SOLO RIDER TRICK: on group rides (3-4 person donuts), tell the attendant you're alone - they'll slot you in to complete groups and you'll wait much less.
9. LOW SEASON (Jan-Mar, Sep): no Fast Pass needed, 5-10 min queues max. Worth going on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
10. WATERPROOF SUNSCREEN - apply before entering and reapply. The southern sun hits hard all year round.
