Siam Park Tenerife, located in Adeje is the biggest waterpark in Europe.

If you’re looking to relax while your kids enjoy the rides, you have private Thai-style cabins which make for the perfect place to spend an indulgent day.
The Siam Park is Thai themed, with all of its 25 buildings being the largest collection of Thai-themed buildings outside Thailand. The architect of Siam Park, Christoph Kiessling, received permission from the Thai royal family to use the park's name and theme; but, to respect the family's wishes, he did not copy royal palaces, temples, or statues of Buddha in the park. Moreover, the park serves Thai food and even has a Thai floating market.

With a range of white knuckle rides, the Siam Park is for the one’s looking for an adrenaline rush.

Being a waterpark in Spain, the Canarian sun can come down harsh so be prepared to bear the heat while protecting your skin. Swimming costumes and shorts are best recommended with lots of sunscreen on the exposed skin. Boys can go shirtless if they please and if not, they are advised to wear jersey material tees. Whatever you wear, make sure they are either Lycra, Spandex or Elastane. These materials absorb very little water, and therefore dry very quickly.
As for footwear, make sure you wear flip flops or buy water shoes inside for 8 euros. The paths get very hot by midday and walking on them without footwear is simply painful. The water shoes are a great investment as you can wear them on the slides. For those with flip flops, you will have to take them off before every ride and leave at the bottom of the slide each time. This can be quite cumbersome.
There are three snack-bars and two restaurants on site.
The snack bars namely Tea House, Sweet Siam and Beach Bar serve light snacks and savouries with the Beach Bar serving cocktails as well.
Those who want to go for the safe spread for a meal, you can try The Beach Club where you get ribs, roast chicken, pasta and even fresh fruit and vegetables.
The rest of the establishments serve thai cuisine, with the best one being the Thai House. It offers a buffet style spread at an affordable price. The ingredients are sourced locally and produced fresh daily.
