Siam Park Height Restrictions: Every Ride by Minimum Height

How height restrictions work at Siam Park

Each attraction has its own height gate at the top of the queue, and staff check before you reach the slide rather than after. The park publishes two clear minimums, 110cm for most of the major slides and 140cm for the Tower of Power, with no lower accompanied option for younger riders on those rides.

That means an adult cannot take a smaller child down a slide on their lap or alongside them; the restriction is absolute, not a suggestion. Families who ask about this on Tenerife forums are regularly pointed to the same answer, which is to plan around the wave pool and children's area instead.

Rides requiring 140cm: the Tower of Power

The Tower of Power is the park's signature ride: riders stand on a trapdoor high above the ground, the floor drops away without warning, and the near-vertical fall passes through a transparent tube running through a shark-filled aquarium. The entry gate requires a minimum height of 1.40 metres, and the ride is generally recommended for ages 12 and over.

The ride also has its own separate queue and does not use the park's fast-track system, so everyone waits in the same line no matter which ticket they hold. For families with one tall, confident child and one below 140cm, that queue is the point at which to split, with one adult taking the tall child up while the other waits with the shorter one. More detail sits in this guide to the Siam Park Tower of Power.

Rides requiring 110cm

Four headline slides share the same 110cm minimum: Kinnaree, a high-speed open mat slide; Mekong Rapids, a circular raft ride through a rapids course that carries groups of four to six; Jungle Snakes, an enclosed single-rider tube slide; and The Giant, an enclosed double-rider tube. A 110cm child therefore unlocks the bulk of the park's big-ticket rides in one go, much as the same threshold logic shapes ride choices in our PortAventura World guide.

Mekong Rapids is the most family-friendly of the four because everyone rides together in one raft, which suits groups where confidence levels vary. Kinnaree is the fastest and the most popular with teenagers, Jungle Snakes throws riders through tight enclosed corners alone, and The Giant pairs them up so a nervous first-timer can ride with a parent or older sibling.

All four sit in the fast-track network, so anyone holding the all-inclusive product can skip the standby line on them. A Siam Park fast track guide explains how the entry works on the day.

Weight limits you need alongside the height limits

Height is only half the check. The Tower of Power carries a maximum weight of 110kg, Jungle Snakes has a 110kg limit for its single tube, and The Giant allows 180kg combined across the double tube, so two heavier adults may need to split across two descents rather than ride together.

The scales, where used, sit at the ride entrance rather than being published as a pre-booking check, so treat the limits as firm and weigh the adults in the group before committing to a queue. Teenagers who have just crossed the 110cm line but ride in a heavy group should expect the combined check on the double tube.

Rides with no height restriction

Three parts of the park carry no minimum height at all. The wave pool produces waves of up to three metres across a large pool and runs in timed sessions with calm gaps between them, the lazy river sends floats around the park perimeter, and Lost City is the children's zone with gentle slides for pre-schoolers.

These are where a family with a child under 110cm spends most of the day, and they need no queuing strategy beyond timing the wave pool sessions. On the lazy river, floats are part of the all-inclusive package and can be rented separately by basic ticket holders, so a € symbol never has to appear at the poolside. The Mai Thai River at Siam Park page covers the circuit in more detail.

Which rides suit a four- to seven-year-old

A four-year-old sits firmly in the no-height-restriction group: Lost City slides, the wave pool in the shallow end and the lazy river fill a full day comfortably. A seven-year-old who has reached 110cm steps up to Mekong Rapids as their first big ride, because the four-to-six person raft keeps an adult alongside them.

Save Kinnaree, Jungle Snakes and The Giant for children who are comfortable in water and happy to be separated briefly or paired up, and leave the Tower of Power for the 140cm-plus child who actively wants it. Matching the ride to the child matters more than the banding here, since the 110cm gate opens up rides of very different intensity.

Planning a day with children either side of 110cm

Start at the Tower of Power if you have a 140cm rider, since it has its own queue and no fast-track benefit, then move to the 110cm slides as a group. Ride order matters less than the split: one adult takes the taller child up the 140cm ride while the other waits with the shorter child at a named meeting point nearby, then swap if both adults want a turn.

Pick a fixed, shaded meeting point in the Lost City area before you separate, and agree a time rather than relying on phone signal through the park. A printed Siam Park map helps you choose one that sits between the children's zone and the big-slide towers.

Tickets and fast-track when height is the deciding factor

Fast-track at Siam Park only covers the rides a 110cm child can ride, so a family whose children are all under that line pays for a benefit they cannot use on the slides. For those families, a standard Siam Park tickets entry is the better value, with Lost City, the wave pool and the lazy river doing the work.

For a family with children over 110cm, the unlimited fast-track bundled into the all-inclusive product changes the day: it applies on Kinnaree, Mekong Rapids, Jungle Snakes and The Giant, letting a group re-ride each headline slide several times instead of once. Compare ticket inclusions and current prices on the official Siam Park booking page before choosing.

Quieter times and how crowds change the value of fast-track

School-holiday weeks and summer weekends are when the 110cm slides build the longest standby lines, and that is when the unlimited fast-track earns its place for a family with children tall enough to use it. Outside those periods the gap between ticket types narrows considerably, because the same handful of slides absorb the crowds more easily.

Siam Park opening times are set by the park's own calendar, which shifts through the year, so build your day around whatever window those dates give you rather than a fixed hour quoted elsewhere. Evening sessions run the headline slides under lights with a lighter crowd, which is a useful option for a family that wants the big slides without a full morning start. This Siam Park at Night guide explains the format.

Getting to Siam Park and where to stay

Siam Park sits in Costa Adeje on the south coast of Tenerife, within easy reach of the resort strip that runs through Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. Buses and shuttle services link the main resort hotels to the park gate, and the Siam Park Bus page sets out the routes and stops.

Staying close by shortens the morning, which matters when you want to be at the Tower of Power queue before it builds. Hotels Near Siam Park covers the options within walking distance and the resorts served by the park's own transport, and Siam Park breaks sets out how a two- or three-night stay fits around a park day.

Accessibility, cabanas and the rest of the park

The park's accessibility arrangements, including step-free routes and support for guests who need them, are covered in the Siam Park accessibility guide, which is worth reading before booking if anyone in the group has mobility needs. Guests who want a base for the day can book cabanas and VIP areas, detailed in Siam Park VIP Options, which suit families splitting time between the children's zone and the big slides.

Tenerife weather is the other variable: cool or windy days can close slides at short notice, and the Siam Park weather page explains how the park handles it. The full attraction list, with every ride and the Siam Park Slides breakdown, is worth a read before you settle the plan.

Plan Around the 110cm Line

The single number to plan around is 110cm: above it, a child unlocks Kinnaree, Mekong Rapids, Jungle Snakes and The Giant, and the all-inclusive fast-track becomes worth its price. Below it, the park still works well through Lost City, the wave pool and the lazy river, and the standard ticket is the sensible buy.

Check current heights and the day's calendar on the official Siam Park site before you travel, measure the children, and decide in advance which adult takes the 140cm rider to the Tower of Power. Everything else follows from those two decisions.
