FAMILY FUN SPLASH AT COSTA ADEJE SIAM PARK

Siam Park is a Siamese themed water park with the most impressive water attractions in the world, located in the suburb coast of Costa Adeje in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Set against a backdrop of scenic Thai design, it offers thrilling water rides for the adrenaline addicts, family fun splash outs for children and young families, as well as relaxing beaches, lush walkways, and spectacular scenery for those who prefer to take things easy.

History

Siam Park Costa Adeje started construction in 2004, costing over 50 million euros. The park finally opened in 2008 with a Thai theme necessarily at its core, with mimicked architecture and scenery found from Thailand. This theme runs throughout the whole park, even to its rides and restaurants, making it the most extensive collection of Thai buildings outside of Thailand. If you’re a fan of Thai culture, then this would be an excellent place to visit as a reminder, as the restaurants serve Thai food and there is also an authentic Thai floating market for you to explore and shop.

As a result of the construction of the park, it now holds five world records; the world’s most giant statue of a dragon, the most significant human-made wave in the world, increased the diversity of slides, world’s largest Thai building outside of Asia and increased elevation within the lazy river. For anybody thinking about visiting, these prove to be impressive stats.

Tenerife seems like the perfect location for a water park when you look at the geography of the island.

As the landmass is a result of volcanic activity, there are many hills and elevations which surround the mountain in the center of the island. This makes for a great natural platform to build water slides because as we all know, water slides need gravity to work, and the best slides come with more significant drops. As a result, Siam Park Tenerife has some of the most daring slides in the world.

Introducing Tenerife; The Home Siam Park

Due to Tenerife’s year-round mild climate, the island has seen an increased concentration in the number of attractions over the last decade. Subsequently, this has boosted the amount of tourism the island receives and has proved to be its primary source of income.

Its location, just off the coast of North Africa, means that tourism mainly comes from Europe, with U.K. residents visiting the most. However, it isn’t just the warm weather which attracts guests; it’s the recent addition of theme parks which make this island a more favorable location for families on their holidays.

Tenerife is also home to two of the biggest theme parks in Europe, Siam Park, and Loro Parque. Taking advantage of the year-round warm weather, Siam Park is a thrilling water park themed around the Thai culture. Along with the sun and water, tourists from all over Europe travel to Tenerife, especially to take part in the fun at this park, sometimes staying for weeks.
