Siam Park: the Height Rules and the Costs the Ticket Leaves Out

Siam Park sits in Costa Adeje, among the southern hotels rather than a drive from them, and opens 365 days a year – 10:00 to 18:00 from 1 May to 29 October, 10:00 to 17:00 from 30 October to 30 April. Entry was €44 per person on GetYourGuide on 18 August 2026.

The ticket is the easy decision. What catches families out is everything around it: a child under 1.25m cannot ride most of the headline slides, lockers and towels cost more than people expect, and bringing your own lunch in now carries a €3 storage fee rather than a flat ban.

Which slides your children can actually ride

This is the question the park's marketing answers least clearly, and it decides whether a family day works. Siam Park publishes no numeric table in static text on siampark.net, so the figures below come from ride-height databases and long-standing visitor guidance – which agree on everything except the Tower of Power.

The practical line is 1.25m. Below it your child rides the family zones and the gentler rapids; at or above it, the whole park opens up.

Tower of Power, the near-vertical drop through the aquarium, is the one real outlier. Reported minimums range from 140cm to 149cm and the age limit from 12 to 14, with no official figure to settle it – assume the stricter version.

If every child in your party sits well below 1.25m, the honest answer may be the other park: Aqualand Costa Adeje is smaller and calmer, includes a dolphin show in the ticket, and queues in 10 to 15 minutes rather than 30-plus. Every other age and height limit on the island sits alongside this one in the Tenerife with kids guide.

What the €44 does not cover

Entry buys the slides. Almost everything that makes the day comfortable is priced separately – these are the park's own published figures.

Two are worth planning around. Towels are sold, not rented, at €19.90 – older guides still quote a €3 rental that no longer exists, so bring one from the hotel. The wetsuit line is not a gimmick in winter either, since the park runs in January on the same schedule as in July.

The food rule has changed too, and most guides have it wrong one way or the other. You are not banned from bringing lunch: the park charges €3 to store your food and drink and gives you a picnic area to eat it in. What you cannot do is carry a full picnic round the park.

When to arrive, and why 10:00 is already late

The park opens at 10:00 and the queues build from about 11:00, which makes the first hour worth more than any fast-track product. Visitor consensus is consistent on the tactic: be at the gate before opening and ride the 1.25m slides first, then drift to the Wave Palace and the lazy river once the queues have moved.

Those same sources suggest Sundays and mid-week resort changeover days run quieter than Mondays and Saturdays. That is traveller opinion rather than park data, but it costs nothing to act on.

There is a paid alternative. Siam Park sells Fast Pass products that exclude admission – a limited version bought on the day, and an unlimited version reported at around €99 that skips Tower of Power and the Mai Thai River.

Every figure for those comes from third-party guides rather than an official tariff, and they disagree. Treat €99 as an order of magnitude and check at the counter.

Parking, and the free alternative most people miss

Official directions list on-site parking at around €7 with limited spaces, and reviewers report paying €4 to €7 depending on the day. Neither comes from a published park tariff, so budget €7.

It rarely matters, because reviewers report parking free at Siam Mall, a 7–8 minute walk away. If you are staying in Costa Adeje you will need neither – the park is walkable from much of the resort, which is why the best hotels in Tenerife guide keeps pointing at this strip. Tenerife South airport is about 20 minutes away, and the Tenerife airport transfer guide prices the bus, taxi and private options.

Buying it with Loro Parque instead

The same group runs both parks, and the combined Twin Ticket is €74 adult and €53 child on Siam Park's own product page, under-6s free, with a separate date for each park. Third-party guides quote €78 and €57 and a 3–11 child band, so expect the checkout figure to be the one that counts.

Against €44 each side it pays only if you intend to do both. The parks are at opposite ends of the island, and the ticket runs 15 days from the first visit precisely so you need not do them back to back – the Loro Parque guide covers that day in the north.

For a free water day the best beaches in Tenerife guide explains why the sand changes colour by coast, and Mount Teide is the other fixture competing for a full day.
