One ticket, two sides of Tenerife, and you get world-class animal shows plus major water-park action. I love the killer whale and parrot-style spectacle at Loro Parque, and I also love that this combo gives you 14 days to fit in Siam Park without rushing.

The main thing to watch is logistics: Loro Parque is in the north and Siam Park is in the south, so you’ll want to plan your driving or use the free transport options.

Key highlights worth building your day around

• Orca Ocean show at Loro Parque: one of the big draws, plus dolphins, sea-lion, and other animal entertainment
• Kinderlandia for kids: tree huts, hanging bridges, and the snake slide type of fun that keeps younger visitors moving
• Siam Park’s water kingdom vibe: Thailand-themed design and a full set of water attractions
• Skip-the-ticket-line entry: scan-and-go makes arrival feel less stressful
• Free transport options: train help for Loro Parque and bus help for Siam Park, if you time it right

Why this Loro Parque and Siam Park combo is such a smart Tenerife move

If you’re doing Tenerife for beaches and one or two big-day attractions, this combo ticket is a clean way to get two of the island’s headline experiences without buying separately. It’s also a realistic way to match the parks to your group: Loro Parque is all about animals and shows, while Siam Park is about slides, speed, and splash.

I like that the two parks actually feel different. One day is spent feeling close to marine life and nature-forward exhibits at Loro Parque. The other day is pure water-park momentum at Siam Park, with attractions built like a theme park instead of just a pile of slides.

The combo format also helps you avoid the classic holiday problem: scheduling. You don’t need to force both parks into one single day. You can pick a calm start at one park, then switch gears to the other within your ticket’s 14-day window.

Price and value: what $92 really buys you

At $92 per person, you’re paying for two full admissions bundled together: 1 ticket for Loro Parque and 1 ticket for Siam Park. That’s the key value—both parks are major destinations, and you’re not just buying one attraction.

This deal also includes skip-the-ticket-line entry. That sounds small, but at busy times it can seriously reduce the “time spent standing” part of your day. A lot of the experience comes down to timing, and skipping that first bottleneck buys you more usable hours for shows and rides.

Two more value points:

• You have 14 days from first activation to visit the second park.
• You’re not locked into one strict itinerary day, which helps when you’re dealing with weather, crowds, or just family energy levels.

Food and drinks aren’t included, so you’ll want a plan for lunch breaks. Most people do better if they treat snacks as part of the park rhythm rather than a big sit-down mission.

The north-day plan: Loro Parque shows, animals, and eco-minded design

Loro Parque sits in the north of the island, near Puerto de la Cruz. The vibe is polished and organized, and the whole place is built to make you feel like you’re watching animals in habitats rather than just looking at cages.

The standout reason I’d pick this park even if I weren’t doing a combo: the shows. The killer whale show at Orca Ocean is the big headline, and it’s the sort of event people structure their whole day around. Along the way, you’ll also see other animal entertainment like parrot and sea-lion-style shows, plus dolphin moments depending on the day’s programming.

The park is known for strong facilities and a focus on the environment. One detail I find meaningful is that it was described as the first such park to earn the Animal Embassy environmental certification. Translation for your visit: the park isn’t just about thrills—it’s designed around animal care and habitat presentation, which makes the day feel more respectful than a basic roadside zoo.

Orca Ocean and show strategy: don’t wing it

Even with skip-the-line entry, you can lose time if you don’t plan your show flow. The best approach is to pick your top show(s) first, then work backward around them.

If your group includes kids, this matters even more. Kids have limited patience, and the day feels better when you give them a clear “when the next thing happens” plan instead of wandering until showtime.

Loro Parque you should expect to see

Plan for a full day. You’ll move between habitats and viewing areas, and you’ll want time to catch the main shows without sprinting across the park.

A few specific things you should look for as you navigate:

• The Orca Ocean killer whale show
• Parrot and sea-lion shows (and other scheduled marine moments)
• Family-focused areas like Kinderlandia (more on this next)

Kinderlandia: the part many families end up loving more than expected

If you’re traveling with kids, Kinderlandia is the family win inside Loro Parque. It’s described as resembling an African village of huts in the trees, and the activities are built for climbing and balancing rather than just watching.

What makes it appealing for younger visitors:

• Hanging bridges and tree-hut style play
• A snake slide experience
• A jungle-and-bridge setup that keeps kids moving while adults get short breaks

I’d treat Kinderlandia as a scheduled stop, not a random wander. It’s the sort of area kids can repeat too many times in a row if you let them, so go in with a rough plan: do it once, do it well, then return later if everyone still has energy.

The south-day plan: Siam Park’s water kingdom thrills (and its crowd reality)

Siam Park is in Costa Adeje, in the south, and it opened in 2008. It’s set up as a major theme park experience, with water attractions in an exotic, Thailand-themed environment.

For many families, Siam Park ends up being the “big wow” day. It’s not just one or two slides. It’s a whole water playground where you can go from relaxed float areas to big, fast rides.

Know the ride limits before you line up

Siam Park has weight rules listed for specific attractions. If you’re going with a mixed group (adults plus teens, or kids with different float styles), check these before you commit to a ride:

• Jungle Snakes and the Giant: max weight 110kg for single floaters and 180kg shared weight on double floaters
• Other attractions: max individual weight 130kg, depending on number of people on a floater

This matters because you don’t want to wait in a line only to learn your group doesn’t fit the rules.

Queues and comfort: what you can learn from real visits

This is where I’ll be blunt and practical: Siam Park can get packed, and crowd levels affect ride time a lot. Some people love the day enough to accept queues. Others come early, plan route order, and decide which rides are truly worth waiting for.

If you have the option, a fast pass can be worth considering during busy periods. One review-style detail I saw repeated: buying fast-track helps reduce long waits and speeds up the ability to do more slides. If your schedule is tight, that time savings can turn a frustrating day into a smooth one.

A winter reality check: cold ground and water shoes

Even when air temps feel mild, the park can feel cold because of sun patterns and ground temperature. I’d bring water shoes, especially if you’re visiting in cooler months. Several visitors flagged that the ground can feel very cold in winter conditions.

You’ll also want swimwear you don’t mind rinsing and reusing during the day.

Getting around: north vs south, and how the free transport helps (if you use it right)

The parks are far enough apart that you shouldn’t treat this like “we’ll just taxi later.” Loro Parque is north, and Siam Park is south. Plan transport like it’s part of the attraction.

Free transport for Loro Parque (north)

Loro Parque is in the north near Puerto de la Cruz. You can follow street signs showing the Loro Parque logo.

If you’re using the train, there’s a free Loro Parque Express train:

• Departs every 20 minutes
• Runs between Plaza de Los Reyes Catolicos (in front of McDonald’s) and Loro Parque
• The last departure back from Loro Parque is 6:45 PM

This is great if you want to avoid parking hassle and keep the day simple.

Free transport for Siam Park (south)

Siam Park is at Av. Siam, s/n, 38660 Costa Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

There’s a free bus service from multiple stops. Here are the start times and end times listed:

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

If you’re coming by bus, the nearest station noted is Playa de las Americas: TITSA bus station. If you drive, use the Highway exit 28/29.

My practical advice: pick one bus start zone and build your day around it. Trying to improvise can leave you rushing at the exact time you’d rather be enjoying rides.

Timing both parks: how to avoid show-missing and ride-rush mistakes

This is the biggest pattern I see with combo days: people underestimate how much scheduling matters.

For Loro Parque

Start with the shows you care about most, especially:

• The Orca Ocean killer whale show
• The parrot and sea-lion type performances

Then arrange your habitat strolling around those times. Some visitors also noted signage can feel imperfect, so giving yourself a show-based plan helps you find the right area without spiraling into extra walking.

For Siam Park

Go in with a mental top-3 list. If you try to do every single attraction, you’ll burn energy and time in queues.

Also, some attractions have limited sun exposure, especially earlier in the day. If your group is sensitive to chilly mornings, plan for warmth layers even if Tenerife doesn’t feel like winter.

What to pack so the day feels easy (not just fun)

You’re spending a lot of time moving and then getting wet, so pack for comfort and quick changes.

I’d bring:

• Water shoes (especially if you’re visiting in cooler months)
• Swimwear and a quick-dry towel if you like to reset your comfort level
• Sunscreen and sunglasses
• A small day bag or locker-ready setup so you can move fast between rides/show areas

For colder days, it’s not just about air temperature. People described feeling very cold at Siam Park because of changing sun and cooler ground conditions.

Should you book this combined ticket? My call

I think you should book this combo if you want:

• One animal day with major shows at a well-known zoo
• One water day with a theme-park style water setup
• Flexibility to visit Siam Park within the 14-day window after your first park

I’d hesitate if you hate crowds or you’re arriving during peak times and you don’t want to manage lines. Siam Park can be packed, and ride time can depend heavily on crowd level.

But if you’re okay planning around show times, using the free transport options, and picking the rides that matter most to your group, this is a strong value way to get two of Tenerife’s signature experiences into one trip window.
