Tenerife’s two biggest parks are a 1-ticket match. This combo sends you to Loro Parque for top-notch animal habitats and shows, then to Siam Park for Europe’s splashiest water rides. I especially like how easy it is to move from one park to the other thanks to the 14-day window, and how strongly both parks focus on making the experience feel family-friendly. The only real drawback is simple: the parks are on opposite sides of the island, so you have to plan transport.

I also like the big-ticket feel for the price. At about $92 per person for both admissions, you are paying for two major attractions instead of gambling on one day that turns into a half-day. Still, bring expectations for lines, crowds, and wet comfort, because Siam Park can get packed and you will spend a lot of time outdoors.

Here’s the rhythm: you’ll spend a full day at Loro Parque first, watching the headline shows like Orca Ocean, and letting kids burn energy in Kinderlandia. Then you’ll use the same combo ticket at Siam Park within 14 days to tackle iconic rides in a Thailand-inspired water kingdom.

Key points worth your attention

• 14-day grace period: activate at one park, then visit the other within 14 days.
• Skip the ticket line: validation is fast when you have your QR ready.
• Show timing matters: prioritize orca, sea lions, parrots, and dolphins so you do not miss key moments.
• Siam Park crowds are real: arrive early or consider fast pass options if waits get long.
• Kids have a true zone at Loro Parque: Kinderlandia is built for climbing, bridges, and slides.
• Know the ride weight rules: some Siam Park floats have specific limits for safety.

What the Loro Parque and Siam Park combo really gives you

This combo ticket is basically two days of heavy-hitter fun, even though it is sold as one purchase. You get 1 admission ticket for Loro Parque and 1 admission ticket for Siam Park, and once you validate the first park, you have 14 days to use the second one.

For value, I like that it is not a “maybe” deal. These are not small local parks. You are getting animal shows at Loro Parque, including the signature orca performance at Orca Ocean, plus Siam Park’s water attractions in a themed setting inspired by Thailand.

One small catch is also part of the deal: food and drinks are not included. Both parks do have places to buy lunch, but you should expect to budget for meals and snacks.

Price and value: paying for two icons on Tenerife

At around $92 per person, this combo lands in the sweet spot between “easy yes” and “make sure it matches your priorities.” If you love animals and also want big water rides, the math is straightforward. You are paying for two attractions that each can soak up most of a full day.

What boosts the value even more is how the ticket is used. You can skip the ticket line, and the parks have a system that scans your QR code and helps link you to your twin admission. That matters when you are traveling with kids, because anything that reduces friction saves real vacation energy.

If you mainly want one park and not the other, then the combo only helps if you will actually go. The parks are on different sides of Tenerife, and the itinerary only works if you plan your transport and timing.

Planning your day split across Tenerife, North vs South

Do not underestimate the distance. Loro Parque is in the north, while Siam Park is in the south, and that means your day will feel like two different worlds.

For public transport, Loro Parque has a convenient free option: the Loro Parque Express train runs between Plaza de Los Reyes Catolicos (in front of McDonald’s) and Loro Parque, departing about every 20 minutes. The last departure from Loro Parque is listed as 6:45 PM. If you like simple logistics, this is a good move.

Siam Park also lists free bus service, with multiple pick-up points. Three starting areas are mentioned:

• CC El Duque, first departure 9:55 AM, then every 30 minutes until 12:55 PM
• Fañabe Plaza, first departure 10:00 AM, then every 30 minutes until 1:00 PM
• Ocean Park, first departure 10:05 AM, then every 30 minutes until 1:05 PM

If you are relying on buses, the takeaway is timing. Those buses are mainly for getting you to the park in the late morning window, not for a late-day return loop. Also, if you plan to come by bus, the nearest bus station is listed as Playa de las Americas: TITSA bus station.

If you will drive, the guidance is clear: take Highway exit 28/29 to reach Siam Park.

Practical tip: if your hotel is in the south (like around Costa Adeje), Loro Parque can feel far. One traveler reported that a cab there was expensive, so I would treat taxis as a last resort and use the free transport options when possible.

Loro Parque day: penguins, Kinderlandia, and the Orca Ocean show

Loro Parque is the kind of place that can swallow an entire day without feeling like a chore. It is also highly regarded for animal care, with a strong emphasis on nature and environmental focus. One key credential listed is that it was the first park in the world to receive the environmental certification of the Animal Embassy.

Start with the exhibits that set the tone

I love zoos that feel designed for viewing, not just housing. Loro Parque’s habitats are set up so you feel close to the action without it turning chaotic. The park also has a reputation for excellent facilities and installations.

If you travel with kids, plan to spend real time in the areas that are visually easy to enjoy. That is where the day feels fun instead of just “educational,” even when you are all adults.

Do not miss Kinderlandia for kids

Kinderlandia is one of the biggest reasons this combo works for families. It is described as resembling an African village of huts in the trees, with activities like climbing, hanging bridges, and a snake slide. In plain terms, it is built for movement and play in a safe, contained way.

For families, it also helps you avoid that classic water-and-animals problem: kids can run off energy at Loro Parque, so Siam Park feels less like a wrestling match and more like a treat.

Hit the shows with an actual plan

Loro Parque is known for world-class performances, and the combo ticket gives you access to the park’s 4 shows. The standout listed show is the killer whale show at Orca Ocean.

Beyond orcas, expect major show moments tied to:

• Parrots
• Sea lions
• Other aquatic animals like dolphins, depending on the show schedule

Here is the practical advice I follow: pick your top two or three shows for the day and build your walking route around them. Even if you love every exhibit, the show times are the anchors. Without that, it is easy to wander, then realize you missed the only orca slot you could have made.

One more note from real experience patterns: signage inside the park may not be perfect. If you feel like you are looping, do not panic. Slow down, check where your next show is, and commit to a direct route.

Siam Park day: Thailand theme, big slides, and the water-kingdom vibe

Siam Park opened in 2008 and is now considered one of Europe’s top water parks. The appeal is not just rides. It is the mix of natural landscaping and oriental design, which helps the park feel more like a themed world than a generic pool complex.

Plan your first rides around energy, not adrenaline

Siam Park has a reputation for thrilling attractions, including slides like Tower of Power, and it also includes favorites mentioned in the reviews such as Kanaree and Dragon. If you start with the biggest thrills, you can burn momentum early and then feel stuck when you still want to do everything.

My approach: do your must-do “big ride” first when lines are likely shorter, then bounce between medium rides so you can recover between splashes.

Know the packed times and wait reality

Crowds can swing hard. Some people arrive early and are able to do nearly everything. Others mention the park being very packed and waiting long enough to limit how many rides they could fit.

If you hate queues, consider a fast track option. One traveler cited fast pass pricing around €38 for a specific option (as of mid-September 2025) and noted that it can cut time dramatically for most rides. You do not need fast pass if you are there off-peak, but it is a smart lever if your day might be crowded.

Sun, cold, and the comfort factor

Siam Park is outdoors, so comfort changes with season. Even when air temperatures hover around 20-22 degrees in winter, one review noted it felt cold when the sun was hiding, and the ground can feel chilly. Their advice was to bring water shoes and be ready for cold surfaces.

Also, one practical detail that matters: at Siam Park, sun beds can be limited, especially in beach areas. If resting matters to you, plan to get there earlier rather than assuming you will find a spot every time.

If a ride is down, do not lose the day

Sometimes an attraction can be temporarily unavailable. One example mentioned that a slide called Singha did not work during a visit. If that happens, shift your day to alternatives and do the rides you can reach fast. With so many attractions in one place, the day usually stays fun even if one ride is paused.

Shows, queues, and how to save hours (not just minutes)

Both parks run on timed moments. Loro Parque has big shows like the Orca performance, plus sea lion and parrot shows. Siam Park is ride-based, but it still has rhythm: queues, ride capacity, and the flow between zones.

If you want the least-stress day, I recommend this order:

1. Pick the show you care about most at Loro Parque, then plan your morning and lunch around it.
2. At Siam Park, knock out the rides with the longest reputation for waits early, then move into shorter lines as the day goes.

Fast track can help, but it is not the only solution. Getting there early and staying organized beats spending your day watching other people pass you in line.

Practical tips that make the combo feel easy

This combo is designed to be straightforward, but there are a few details you should know so day one does not turn into confusion.

Keep your QR code ready and expect wristband-style access

The ticket experience is set up for scanning. One review specifically said QR codes on your phone are scanned directly, and that you get a bracelet indicating access for the other park. The key point for you: have your QR accessible both days.

Fingerprint verification at the first park

When you validate the twin ticket at the first park, you will be asked to leave a fingerprint for verification. You still need a valid ticket to access the park after validation, so do not assume the process replaces your admission.

Weight limits at Siam Park

Siam Park lists specific maximum weights for some rides:

• Jungle Snakes and Giant: max 110 kg for single floaters, or 180 kg shared weight for double floaters
• Other attractions: max 130 kg depending on how many people are using the floater

If you are traveling with teens or adults who are near those limits, check before you line up for the ride you want most.

Bring the right footwear

Water shoes keep you safer and more comfortable. One review recommended them for winter visits because the ground can get cold. Even in warmer months, water shoes reduce the chance of slick surprises.

Budget for food, then plan quick meals

Food and drinks are not included, but both parks have places to buy lunch. One review noted there are plenty of food shops at Siam Park for lunch. I would still plan a simple strategy: eat between your top activities, not while you are trying to catch a show or queue jump.

Who this combo is best for, and who should think twice

This ticket fits well if you want both halves of Tenerife’s main theme: animals plus water rides.

It is especially good for:

• Families with kids who need both a climbing-and-bridge zone (Kinderlandia) and high-energy water fun
• Animal lovers who want a big, show-driven zoo experience, especially the orca performance
• Travelers who like full-day attractions and do not mind planning a split across the north and south

It may feel less ideal if:

• You hate traveling across the island and would rather stay in one area
• You dislike crowds and cannot tolerate water parks getting busy, especially around popular rides
• You are sensitive to outdoor cold in cooler months, since Siam Park can feel colder than you expect depending on sun and ground conditions

Should you book this combo ticket?

If you are choosing between one park and two, this combo makes the most sense. You pay for admission to both major attractions, and you get flexibility with a 14-day window to do the second park.

Book it if your priorities match what the parks do best: animal shows at Loro Parque, and thrilling slides plus a Thailand-themed water kingdom at Siam Park. It is a strong value when you will actually use both parks, and the QR scan and ticket-skip flow keeps things from feeling overly complicated.

Hold off if you can only commit to one side of Tenerife, or if you are traveling during a peak time and you know you will struggle with crowds. In that case, you might still want Siam Park or Loro Parque, just not both on a schedule that depends on transport.

If you do book, I would set yourself up for success by choosing show times early at Loro Parque, arriving early at Siam Park, and keeping water shoes and a phone-ready QR code handy.
