Siam Park Guide: Rides, Tickets, Fast Pass and Getting There

Where Siam Park sits and how the layout works

The park occupies a large site in Costa Adeje, roughly a three-minute drive from Playa de las Americas and five to ten minutes from Los Cristianos, which makes it easy to reach from the main southern resorts. The wave pool and beach form the relaxed heart of the park, the big slides sit clustered together within easy walking distance, and the children's areas are kept separate so little ones are not caught in the flow of older riders.

Distances inside the park are short, but the concrete paths get hot underfoot through the middle of the day, so plan your route rather than zig-zagging. A clockwise loop past the numbered rides works well: start with the highest-demand slides while the park is quiet, then drift towards the wave pool, the beach and the lazy river as the site fills.

Headline thrill rides and height limits

Tower of Power is the signature plunge: a near-vertical drop of 28 metres that finishes with a transparent tube through a shark tank before you hit the pool. Riders must be at least 1.4 metres tall, and the same guide notes a minimum age of 14 for this ride, which makes it the one attraction worth checking against your children's ages as well as their heights.

The Dragon takes a raft of up to four through a wide tunnel and a final drop into the pool, with a minimum height of 1.25 metres. Volcano sends riders spinning around the inside of a crater-like bowl and is billed as fun for the whole family rather than an extreme slide, so it works as a bridge between the children's zones and the serious stuff.

Kinnaree twists and turns riders through what reads like jungle scenery high above the park, and it is the sort of slide that rewards riders who want a long, snaking run rather than a single drop. Because the big rides are the busiest, aim to clear Tower of Power, The Dragon and Volcano in the first hour, before the free shuttle coaches begin arriving.

Family and raft rides

Mekong Rapids puts the whole family in one large raft for a bumpy, shared run, which makes it the easiest way to get everyone on a proper slide together. The Giant drops riders down a broad slide themed around a temple guardian and appeals across ages, while Naga Racer sets side-by-side lanes for a head-to-head race to the bottom, ideal for competitive siblings.

Jungle Snake sends riders down intertwined flumes that twist on the way to the pools below, so it looks more dramatic than it feels and suits families with confident swimmers. Expect these raft and lane slides to be the second wave of your day: once the headline drops are done, work through them in a loop, checking the numbered map for what you have missed.

Younger children: Lost City and the baby zone

The Lost City is a themed fortress with gentle slides and waterfalls designed for children, and it sits beside a baby zone for the smallest members of the family. Most rides set a minimum height of 1.25 metres rather than an age limit, so many children can join in once they reach that mark, but the two dedicated children's areas let younger siblings play without standing at the bottom of a big slide all day.

Height rather than age governs most of the park, so measure children before you promise them a particular slide, and plan which adult takes which child where. A useful split is for one adult to hold the fortress base with younger children while the other rides the big slides, then swap after lunch at the beach.

Mai Thai River, Wave Palace and the beach

The Mai Thai River is the park's long lazy river, drifting past an aquarium, greenery and waterfalls before finishing in a Jacuzzi, and it gives the day a natural second act once the slides are done. The Wave Palace wave pool produces the largest artificial waves in the world and doubles as a surf spot, which makes it a headline attraction in its own right rather than just a swimming pool.

Siam Park Beach is the sandy strip beside the pool where adults can settle with a drink while older children keep riding, and free loungers and umbrellas make it a genuine rest stop rather than a standing area. If you want to see the park after dark, the separate Siam Night events turn the same setting into an evening session.

Ticket types and what each includes

Entry comes in several layers: a basic day ticket, an entrance-and-lunch option, and a premium ticket that bundles lunch with towel and locker use. The lunch versions issue a voucher redeemed at the Beach Club or Thai House restaurants, and a return visit on a second day can be booked at a reduced rate.

As reported by TravelON World, basic adult entry starts around 40 euros with children aged 12 and under at 25 euros and under-threes free; the premium ticket runs to about 54 euros for adults and 38 for children, while entrance with lunch sits at roughly 51 and 33 euros. Treat those figures as a dated reference rather than a fixed rate, since the park prices by season and channel.

Buying entry in advance matters as much as the ticket tier: the ticket kiosk opens at the same time as the park, so arriving early with a pre-booked ticket gets you through the gate before the queues form. Decide on the lunch bundle when you book if you want certainty, or upgrade later once you know how long you will spend in the water.

Fast Pass: how it works and when it pays

Fast Pass at Siam Park is sold inside the park, covers one skip of the queue per ride, and is limited, so early arrivals get first pick. On a busy day the difference is stark: an ordinary queue can stretch to one to two hours, while a Fast Pass keeps waits to around ten minutes at most, according to TravelON World's guide.

The pass is priced separately from entry, at about 28 euros per person in that same guide, which is worth weighing against a quieter day when queues drop to roughly 15 minutes. If your visit falls in July or August, or during school holidays, buying it as soon as you enter is the safer call; on a quiet Sunday you may not need it at all.

Extra costs on the day

Beyond entry, the extras are small but add up: standard entry does not include lockers or towels, which can be rented for a few euros each with a refundable deposit, while the premium ticket folds both in. Parking in the large lot outside the park is charged per day, and the park's own shuttle seats can be added to a ticket for a modest supplement.

On the free side, the park supplies sun loungers, umbrellas, tubes and life jackets at no charge, and Wi-Fi is available across the site. That means the realistic day budget is entry plus optional Fast Pass and lunch, with towels and a locker if you are not on a premium ticket — and cash still needed for the restaurants and bars.

Opening hours and how the season works

Siam Park runs year round, opening at 10am throughout. The closing time shifts with the seasons, with the park shut at 6pm across the summer months from 1 May to 31 October and an hour earlier for the rest of the year under the schedule reported by TravelON World. Hours can move for events and maintenance, so check the official Siam Park calendar against your date before you book.

A full day is the sensible allowance: the site is large, the big slides draw queues and the lazy river and beach deserve an unhurried afternoon. If you arrive for opening and stay until closing, you can comfortably cover the major slides, the wave pool and the children's areas without rushing.

Quieter days to visit

Sundays come out as the quietest day in TravelON World's guide, with Tuesdays and Fridays next best because they are changeover days for resort visitors. Those patterns collapse in July and August and during school holidays, when every day looks busy, so book Fast Pass in advance of your trip mentally and buy it on arrival.

Arriving before the 10am opening is the single most effective crowd tactic: queues build quickly after 10, and the free shuttle buses start landing from around 10.30 to 11am, delivering a wave of riders all at once. Get through the gate at opening with a pre-bought ticket and you can clear the headline slides before that wave arrives.

Getting there by car, bus and free shuttle

By car, take the TF-1 south motorway and leave at exit 28 or 29 depending on your direction, then use the large car park at the entrance; parking is charged for the day. The park also runs a free double-decker shuttle from Playa de las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos, with stops including the CC Pasarela shopping mall and Hotel Sol Arona in Los Cristianos and CC El Duque, Fanabe Plaza and Ocean Park in Costa Adeje.

The free shuttle has a real trade-off: seats are not guaranteed, the buses get crowded, and arriving with the coach means joining the queue at the same moment as everyone else. A taxi or early self-arrival at around 9.30 to 9.45am buys you the quietest hour on the slides, which is often worth more than the fare.

Food, drink and picnic rules

Outside food is not allowed through the gate, though water is, and bags are checked at the entrance, so plan to eat on site. The Beach Club is the main restaurant and serves western food as well as Thai dishes despite its architecture, while the Thai House takes lunch vouchers from the bundled tickets.

For lighter stops, the Tea House Bar and Creperie covers crepes, teas and coffees, Sweet Siam handles cakes and ice cream, and the Thai Bar offers cocktails and sangria beside the Mai Thai River. The Beach Bar serves mojitos, hotdogs and barbecue for a quick bite without leaving the sand.

Combining Siam Park with Loro Parque

A twin ticket covering Siam Park and Loro Parque in the north of the island suits a longer Tenerife stay, since the two parks sit at opposite ends of the island and work best on separate days. TravelON World prices the combined ticket at roughly 64 euros for adults and 43.50 for children, against around 37 and 25 euros for Loro Parque alone.

Build the twin ticket around your quieter Siam Park day rather than squeezing both parks into one 48-hour window, because Loro Parque involves a drive of well over an hour to Puerto de la Cruz. A short break of four or five nights gives room for both without turning either into a dash.

Where to stay for an early start

Staying in Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos puts you within a short taxi ride of the gate, which is what makes a 9.30am arrival realistic. Hotels in those resorts range from family apartments to full-service complexes, and choosing one near the free shuttle stops adds a backup option if you would rather not pay for a taxi.

There is no on-site accommodation at Siam Park itself, so the resort strip along the coast is the practical base, with Playa de las Americas offering the widest spread of budgets. Book somewhere within walking distance of a shuttle stop and you can mix free transport on a relaxed day with a paid taxi on your rope-drop morning.

Accessibility, baby care and rider swap

Families with babies and young children can use the baby zone inside the Lost City area, and the park provides life jackets free of charge for weaker swimmers. For rides that younger children cannot join, rider swap lets one adult wait with the child while the other rides, then switch without queuing twice, which is worth asking about at the ride entrance on the day.

Lifeguards are stationed at every ride and around the park, with first aiders and on-call doctors available, so the busiest areas are well covered. Loose jewellery and handheld cameras are restricted on the slides, and action cameras need a head or chest harness so your hands stay free.

How long to allow and a ride order that works

Plan for a full day and treat the first hour as the one that decides your visit. Arrive for opening, collect a map, drop bags in a locker near the entrance, then ride Tower of Power, The Dragon and Volcano before the shuttle coaches arrive; add a Fast Pass at the gate if the queues are already building.

Mid-morning suits the raft and lane slides such as Mekong Rapids and Naga Racer, with the children's fortress fitted in whenever younger members need a break. After lunch, shift to the Mai Thai River, the Wave Palace and the beach, and finish with any slide you want a second run on as the day quietens towards closing.

Plan Your Visit

Siam Park rewards a plan: buy entry in advance, arrive before the 10am opening, clear the headline slides first and decide on Fast Pass at the gate rather than by default. Add the lunch bundle if you want a fixed meal, and keep the afternoon free for the wave pool and lazy river.

Staying in Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos keeps the early start simple, and the free shuttle is a good fallback on a relaxed day. For comparison with a very different kind of city park day, the Tibidabo guide shows how a mountain-top amusement park plans out. For a family day built around shows and animal encounters rather than slides, the Zoomarine guide covers how that Algarve park plans out.
