Siam Park and Loro Parque, two of Tenerife's most popular theme parks, have been honoured in TripAdvisor's highly-acclaimed 2015 Travellers' Choice Awards. The island's Thai-themed water kingdom, Siam Park, has claimed no.1 position among the world's Top 25 Water Parks for the second consecutive year, while animal paradise Loro Parque has climbed one place and now ranks second among the world's Top 25 Zoos in the world. The popular Travellers' Choice Awards celebrate the best attractions across the globe based on the reviews of millions of travellers.
2015 has also seen both parks awarded TripAdvisor's prestigious 'Hall of Fame' award, in recognition of receiving the website's 'Certificate of Excellence' five consecutive years. The 'Certificate of Excellence' accolade is given to establishments that have achieved excellent ratings by travellers over the previous 12 months. These awards demonstrate the quality of the experiences available in Tenerife for families, which also includes whale and dolphin watching excursions, natural seawater pools, family-friendly beaches and fun and educational museums, amongst many others.
Adding to its family appeal, Siam Park has introduced a brand new attraction this summer. Called “Singha”, the new waterslide will be 240 metres long and designed to simulate the feel of a roller coaster with its bendy track (14 changes of direction), small jumps and high speeds. Meanwhile, Loro Parque's latest addition is the 3D film “Rio”, an exclusive version of the blockbuster film by Carlos Saldanha and based on the story of one of the rarest species of parrots in the world, the Spix's Macaw.
Those interested in visiting both Siam Park and Loro Parque while on holiday in Tenerife can take advantage of great savings by purchasing a “twin ticket” to access both parks. Prices start from £41 for adults and £28 for children (6-11 years old).
