10/10 number no1 WATER PARK

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Still One of the Best Days Out in Tenerife! Siam Park is honestly one of the best water parks I’ve ever been to, and for me it’s an easy 5 stars. This was my 4th time visiting, and it’s genuinely one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Tenerife! Yes, there are waits for some of the slides, but realistically, what do you expect from a water park — especially one that’s considered the No. 1 water park in Europe? The most popular rides are obviously going to have queues. We actually found the waiting times perfectly reasonable, with the only longer queue being around 30–40 minutes for Singha, which, considering how popular it is, really isn’t bad at all. Speaking of Singha… it is without a doubt the best slide in the park! 😋 During our night-time admission, we made a beeline for it first and managed to get on within about 10 minutes. We enjoyed it so much that we actually went on it a second time! If you’re visiting during the night-time event, I’d definitely recommend heading straight there. The night-time experience is also 1,000 times better, in my opinion. The queues were practically non-existent, so you can get on the slides repeatedly without spending your evening standing in line. Add in all the lighting, music and the DJ and the atmosphere is incredible. It completely transforms the park and feels more like a huge evening party than a normal day at a water park. I would say it’s not as suitable for smaller children, though, as it does get very dark in places and the atmosphere is definitely better suited to older children, teenagers and adults. One thing families might want to be aware of is the number of people required for some of the slides. If you’re a family of three, you may find it a little frustrating, as quite a few of the rides are designed for 2 or 4 people. Sometimes you can be left standing at the top of the slide waiting for another family or individual to join you. We actually found it easier to find people ourselves rather than wait for the staff to arrange it. The Volcano and the Dragon both require four people, which is particularly annoying because they are two of the bigger and most exciting slides in the park. For example, on the Dragon, we asked the family in front of us if my mum could join them, while my dad and I were paired with another two people. If we hadn’t organised it ourselves, we could easily have been waiting another 20 minutes. It’s certainly not a deal breaker, but it can be a bit annoying when you’re trying to enjoy the rides together as a family. The only real fault we had was with the Giant Slide and the way the queueing system seemed to change depending on the day. On one visit, the queue was positioned on the far left of the Tower of Power, while the next day it was using the Tower of Power steps. That in itself wouldn’t be an issue at all — things change and queues need to be managed — but the problem was that there was no clear communication from the staff about the change. We tried to use the slide and were sent all the way back down to the bottom, along with quite a few other members of the public. Even one of the staff members came back down with us because he didn’t actually understand what was happening either! 😅 It turned out that the signage had been marked incorrectly. The sign was eventually taken down and changed to show that the queue was FAST TRACK ONLY. It was a bit frustrating and confusing, especially when you’ve already made your way up there, so a little more communication and clearer signage would definitely improve the experience. Apart from those small points, we absolutely love Siam Park. The park is beautifully maintained, the rides are brilliant and there really is nowhere else quite like it. 4th visit done and I’ll definitely be back for my 5th! Siam Park is still one of the biggest reasons I come to Tenerife, and despite the small issues mentioned above, it remains a solid 5-star experience for me. 🌴🌊😋
