A great day out for all the family when visiting Tenerife is the Siam Park Water Kingdom which is based on the ancient kingdom of Thailand.

Opened in 2008, Siam Park is a fantastic theme park with great water attractions and is located in Playa de las Americas on the island of Tenerife.

The park has a magnificent wave pool where the waves reach heights of over 3ft enabling you to ride the surf. The pool also has a lovely sandy beach with the water temperature at 24C.

Siam Beach offers wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera. Here you will find The Beach Bar where you can enjoy a refreshing drink on the terrace and The Beach Club which offers a buffet with international cusine which you can eat on the terrace or on the beach.

The park has the Billabong Surf Shop and a floating market, built on a Thai Village theme, where you can enjoy a Thai massage and purchase souvenirs, refreshments, sun lotion, swimming attire and much much more.

ATTRACTIONS

The Tower of Power
In my opinion this is the best and most terrifying attraction here. After climbing to the top of the tower you plunge 92ft into an aquarium! A must for the thrill seekers.

The Dragon
Seated in a raft for up to 3 people, you will experience zero gravity when the raft enters a giant cone, spinning round and round until it is washed along to the end of the ride.

Mekong Rapids
This is a mad ride for all the family in family sized rafts along the rapids.

Naga Racer
Comprising of 6 lanes of running water, this is where all the family can grab a mat and have a race down to the bottom of the snakes.

Jungle Snakes
This consists of four entwinned snakes where you take a fast ride on a raft that slips and slides on the water through a mythical jungle.

The Giant
Another very popular ride where you will feel the force of gravity in a powerful twin cyclone.

The Volcano
Sitting in a dingy with 3 other people you will be transported through the darkened volcano as if you were caught in the lava flow until you reach the end.

The Lazy River (Mai Thai River)
For some relaxation you can take a ride on the long, gentle, lazy river which passes by an aquarium of tropical fish and magnificent waterfalls.

For younger children and babies there is
The Lost City
The two towers here are joined by bridges, nets and slides where it is safe for younger children to enjoy some adventures and fun. The city also has fountains and waterfalls.
The Baby Zone
Tis is a special area with a pool and slides where parents can safely enjoy some fun with their babies.

This is just one of the attractions the whole family will enjoy whilst on their package holidays to Tenerife.

If you are looking for cheap holidays to the Canary Islands, there are always great offers to be had on the internet.

Playa de las Americas

Playa de las Americas

Purpose built, Playa de las Americas has become Tenerife’s most popular resort and boasts an array of first class facilities. 
 
Playa de las Americas is a tourist mecca built in the late 1960′s and neighbours Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje.

With row upon row of British Pubs, Fish and Chip parlours, Pizza parlours and other fast food outlets, this is a real home from home for those Europeans who don’t like Spanish Food and want to spend their nights in the coolest hot spots and their days on the beach. Away from the sand there are waterparks, spas and a casino.
