Tenerife's famous Siam Park is one of the biggest and best waterparks anywhere in Europe, if not the world. No matter how old you are, there's so much to love about this Thai-themed destination, including loads of amazing white-knuckle rides like The Tower of Power, The Dragon, and Mekong Rapids. Even if you'd prefer a more serene scene, it's easy to waste away the day on the lazy river and watch the world go by from the white sandy beach. All this and more is waiting for you at this fun-filled attraction on the Costa Adeje; it's in easy reach of popular resorts like Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos.

Best time to visit
Summer is peak season in Tenerife, so this is the busiest time of year at Siam Park. As you might expect, the queues can get pretty long during this time. But if you arrive early enough, you can at least beat some of them. Don't forget to bring your sun cream, too, as temperatures can rise above 30℃. If you want to avoid the crowds, why not visit during autumn, winter, or spring? Seeing as Tenerife enjoys pleasant temperatures right through the year (and the park's open all year round), you might as well make the most of it.
