The Best Things To Do in Tenerife with Multiple Ages

THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN TENERIFE WITH MULTIPLE AGES 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦☀️

Family Holiday Ideas That Actually Work For EVERYONE

Travelling with multiple ages can honestly feel like trying to plan:

• two different holidays 😅
• two different energy levels
• and two completely different ideas of fun.

One child may want:

• pirate ships ⚔️
• slides 💦
• adventure
• and excitement.

While the younger one simply wants:

• snacks 🍓
• pool time 🏊
• naps 💤
• and cuddles 😅

The secret to a GREAT Tenerife family holiday with multiple ages is balance ✨

You do NOT need:

• huge days every day
• stressful schedules
• or constant excursions to make amazing family memories.

The best holidays usually come from:

• mixing adventure days with slower days 😌
• choosing activities that work for multiple ages
• and remembering that simple family moments are often the best ones 💙

What YOU will remember is:

• siblings laughing together 😄
• beach walks 👣
• evening mini golf ⛳
• pirate boat excitement ⚔️
• ice cream stops 🍦
• and those little moments where everyone is simply happy together.

That’s what this holiday is really about ✨

This guide is here to help you:

• keep everyone happy 😊
• avoid overtired meltdowns 😅
• and choose activities that genuinely work for mixed ages.

💦 BEST WATERPARK OPTION

Siam Park + Easy Days After

If you have older children AND younger children, Siam Park often becomes the best “big day” option 🌊

Older children LOVE:

• the bigger slides
• wave pools
• adrenaline rides
• and the excitement.

While younger children still have:

• splash zones
• shallow areas
• lazy river sections
• and smaller play areas.

BUT… Siam Park is a HUGE day 😅

Top tip 💡
Do NOT overplan the next day.

Most families make the mistake of trying to do another excursion immediately after.

Instead:

• plan a pool day 🏊
• slower morning
• beach walk 🏖️
• or relaxed family evening afterwards.

Trust us… everyone will enjoy the holiday MUCH more this way 💙

Perfect for:

✔ mixed ages
✔ adventurous families
✔ children with lots of energy

⚔️ BEST BOAT TRIP

Ragnarok & Freebird

Boat trips become one of the BEST mixed-age activities because they genuinely work for almost everyone 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Ragnarok ⚔️

Perfect for:

• pirate-loving children
• excitement
• adventure
• and families wanting a “wow” holiday moment.

Older children LOVE:

• the pirate theme
• the atmosphere
• being on deck
• and the excitement of the ship itself.

Younger children usually still enjoy:

• the movement of the boat
• snacks onboard 🍿
• waving at people 👋
• and simply being out on the ocean 🌊

Freebird ⛵

Freebird is usually the calmer family option.

The BIGGEST advantage? You can book sun loungers at the front of the boat ☀️

This makes a HUGE difference when travelling with younger children because:

• you have your own family space
• somewhere to relax
• room for bags, snacks and towels
• and a much easier setup overall.

Morning trips are still usually best because:

• seas are calmer 🌊
• temperatures are cooler ☀️
• and younger children are usually happier earlier in the day.

Perfect for:

✔ mixed age families
✔ pirate-loving kids
✔ relaxed family experiences
✔ families wanting something everyone enjoys

🐒 BEST FAMILY ANIMAL EXPERIENCE

Monkey Park

Monkey Park is one of the BEST “easy wins” for mixed ages 💙

Why? Because it works brilliantly for BOTH younger and older children.

Younger children LOVE:

• feeding the guinea pigs 🐹
• being close to the animals
• exploring smaller walkways.

Older children usually enjoy:

• interacting more independently
• taking photos 📸
• and feeling more involved in the experience.

Because it’s:

• compact
• interactive
• and not exhausting

it becomes a perfect:

• half-day activity
• easier morning
• or relaxed excursion day.

Perfect for:

✔ all ages
✔ easier excursions
✔ relaxed family mornings

🦜 BEST FULL DAY FAMILY EXCURSION

Loro Parque

If you want one BIG family excursion during your holiday… Loro Parque is usually the best option ✨

Why? Because there’s genuinely something for every age.

Younger children usually LOVE:

• penguins 🐧
• parrots 🦜
• aquariums
• playgrounds
• animal shows.

Older children often enjoy:

• bigger exhibits
• marine life
• photography 📸
• and spending longer exploring.

The BIGGEST thing to remember? # It’s a LONG day 😅

Loro Parque is located in the north of Tenerife, meaning:

• around 90 minutes travel each way 🚍
• early starts
• and tired children by the end of the day.

Top tip 💡
Do NOT book another excursion the same evening.

Perfect for:

✔ mixed age families
✔ animal lovers
✔ one big memorable family day

🛝 BEST HOT DAY OPTION

Pool Days, Soft Plays & Hotel Activities

Sometimes the BEST thing you can do with multiple ages… is absolutely nothing complicated 😅

Pool days honestly become some of the BEST memories of the holiday 💙

The key is creating: # an easy family setup.

That means:

• your favourite sunbed 😌
• umbrella & shade ⛱️
• snacks nearby 🍓
• inflatables 🏊
• fans 🌬️
• UV protection ☀️
• and somewhere close to your room if naps are needed 💤

Soft play parks can also become holiday lifesavers on:

• hotter afternoons ☀️
• cloudy days ☁️
• overtired days
• or lower energy afternoons.

It’s also worth checking your hotel entertainment and kids clubs.

Many hotels offer:

• mini discos 💃
• games
• family entertainment
• indoor play
• and activities for different ages.

Perfect for:

✔ mixed energy levels
✔ tired afternoons
✔ flexible family days
✔ stress-free holidays

⛳ BEST EVENING ACTIVITY

Crazy Golf

Crazy golf is one of the BEST mixed-age evening activities because:

• younger children love exploring
• older children become competitive 😅
• and parents can actually relax and enjoy it too.

It’s:

• easy
• fun
• low stress
• and perfect after dinner.

Honestly? These simple evenings often become the favourite family memories 💙

Perfect for:

✔ all ages
✔ relaxed evenings
✔ family laughs

🍕 BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT OPTION

La Pepa Rooftop

La Pepa Rooftop works brilliantly for mixed ages because it removes the stress of: # “what does everyone want to eat?” 😅

It’s more of a relaxed food hall atmosphere, meaning families can choose from:

• burgers 🍔
• pizza 🍕
• Asian food 🍜
• desserts 🍦
• drinks 🍹
• and loads of different food options all in one place.

There are also:

• games for children 🎮
• entertainment
• open spaces
• and a much more relaxed family atmosphere.

This makes it MUCH easier when travelling with multiple ages and different personalities.

Perfect for:

✔ mixed tastes
✔ easier dinners
✔ families wanting relaxed evenings

🏖️ BEST “DO NOTHING” DAYS

Beach & Pool Days

One of the biggest mistakes families make is trying to “do everything” 😅

The reality? Children often remember:

• beach days 🏖️
• pool fun 💦
• ice creams 🍦
• playgrounds
• evening walks 🌅
• and family time

more than the expensive excursions.

Don’t underestimate:

• downtime 😌
• naps 💤
• flexibility
• and slower days.

Sometimes the simplest days become the BEST days 💙

Perfect for:

✔ everyone 😊

🍸 BEST OPTIONS IF GRANDPARENTS ARE TRAVELLING
