Looking for a family activity in Tenerife? We suggest you visit the Jungle Park in Arona, which children love. We loved strolling along its lush green alleys, which concealed exotic plants and beautiful flowers!

In this article, you’ll find some useful tips to help you prepare for your visit and have a great time!

Is a visit to Tenerife’s Jungle Park worth it?

Yes, it’s worth a visit for its botanical wealth. In addition to tropical vegetation, the orchidarium and cactarium will delight fans of exotic plants. It also offers thrilling attractions such as a bobsleigh run and suspension bridges. We enjoyed splendid views of the canopy. It’s worth mentioning, however, that the park houses animals in captivity, a practice that raises ethical questions.

What you can see

The orchidarium

This area is dedicated to the cultivation and display of orchids within the park. We were captivated by its superb flowers, whose vibrant hue contrasted with the surrounding vegetation.

The mushroom farm

The site features a small building housing curious mushrooms of all shapes and colors! With the help of informative panels, we were able to follow the different stages in the formation of mushrooms.

OUR TIPS TO RENT A CAR IN Tenerife
  • Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
  • If you’re planning to explore the mountains, don ‘t take the smallest cars. A more powerful engine will be more comfortable.
  • But don’t take too big a car either, as some roads are narrow.
  • There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.

Jungle Park in Arona: how to get there

Where is the park?

  • South-west of Tenerife,
  • In the municipality of Arona,
  • Close to Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas,
  • At the following address: Urbanización Las Águilas del Teide.

Access by car and parking

The park is easily accessible by car. From Tenerife’s south-western seaside resorts, the journey takes around 15 minutes. Take route TF-28 and cross the village of Chayofa via Calle Tinguafaya.

For how long?

Allow half a day to visit the park.

Best moment

Preferably outside the summer season (July, August) and school vacations. This way, you can avoid the busiest periods, although the park is much less crowded than the famous Siam Park. We recommend that you get there as soon as it opens, to take advantage of the early morning freshness!

Direction of visit

There is no set direction. We were free to roam the park as we pleased. However, in high season, you’ll have to queue to access certain attractions.

Visiting with children

Jungle Park is an ideal destination for families. The tour is both entertaining and educational. The park’s world and scenery will stimulate the imagination of the youngest visitors. It was like being in a small jungle! We came across children lost in contemplation of the animals.

Eating out

The park boasts its own La Palapa restaurant, open from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. You’ll enjoy simple dishes such as burgers, pastas and salads, among other options. Otherwise, you’ll find other fast-food outlets on the site. Picnics are also permitted on site.
