The Best Things To Do in Tenerife with Multiple Ages
THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN TENERIFE WITH MULTIPLE AGES ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆโ๏ธ
Family Holiday Ideas That Actually Work For EVERYONE
Travelling with multiple ages can honestly feel like trying to plan:
- two different holidays ๐
- two different energy levels
- and two completely different ideas of fun.
One child may want:
- pirate ships โ๏ธ
- slides ๐ฆ
- adventure
- and excitement.
While the younger one simply wants:
- snacks ๐
- pool time ๐
- naps ๐ค
- and cuddles ๐
The secret to a GREAT Tenerife family holiday with multiple ages is balance โจ
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 ๐
- choosing activities that work for multiple ages
- and remembering that simple family moments are often the best ones ๐
What YOU will remember is:
- siblings laughing together ๐
- beach walks ๐ฃ
- evening mini golf โณ
- pirate boat excitement โ๏ธ
- ice cream stops ๐ฆ
- and those little moments where everyone is simply happy together.
Thatโs what this holiday is really about โจ
This guide is here to help you:
- keep everyone happy ๐
- avoid overtired meltdowns ๐
- and choose activities that genuinely work for mixed ages.
Think of this as: # your Tenerife mixed-age family holiday planner ๐ด
๐ฆ BEST WATERPARK OPTION
Siam Park + Easy Days After
If you have older children AND younger children, Siam Park often becomes the best โbig dayโ option ๐
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.
BUTโฆ Siam Park is a HUGE day ๐
Top tip ๐ก
Do NOT overplan the next day.
Most families make the mistake of trying to do another excursion immediately after.
Instead:
- plan a pool day ๐
- slower morning
- beach walk ๐๏ธ
- or relaxed family evening afterwards.
Trust usโฆ everyone will enjoy the holiday MUCH more this way ๐
Perfect for:
โ mixed ages
โ adventurous families
โ children with lots of energy
โ๏ธ BEST BOAT TRIP
Ragnarok & Freebird
Boat trips become one of the BEST mixed-age activities because they genuinely work for almost everyone ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
Ragnarok โ๏ธ
Perfect for:
- pirate-loving children
- excitement
- adventure
- and families wanting a โwowโ 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 ๐ฟ
- waving at people ๐
- and simply being out on the ocean ๐
Freebird โต
Freebird is usually the calmer family option.
The BIGGEST advantage? You can book sun loungers at the front of the boat โ๏ธ
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 ๐
- temperatures are cooler โ๏ธ
- and younger children are usually happier earlier in the day.
Perfect for:
โ mixed age families
โ pirate-loving kids
โ relaxed family experiences
โ families wanting something everyone enjoys
๐ BEST FAMILY ANIMAL EXPERIENCE
Monkey Park
Monkey Park is one of the BEST โeasy winsโ for mixed ages ๐
Why? Because it works brilliantly for BOTH younger and older children.
Younger children LOVE:
- feeding the guinea pigs ๐น
- being close to the animals
- exploring smaller walkways.
Older children usually enjoy:
- interacting more independently
- taking photos ๐ธ
- and feeling more involved in the experience.
Because itโs:
- compact
- interactive
- and not exhausting
it becomes a perfect:
- half-day activity
- easier morning
- or relaxed excursion day.
Perfect for:
โ all ages
โ easier excursions
โ relaxed family mornings
๐ฆ BEST FULL DAY FAMILY EXCURSION
Loro Parque
If you want one BIG family excursion during your holidayโฆ Loro Parque is usually the best option โจ
Why? Because thereโs genuinely something for every age.
Younger children usually LOVE:
- penguins ๐ง
- parrots ๐ฆ
- aquariums
- playgrounds
- animal shows.
Older children often enjoy:
- bigger exhibits
- marine life
- photography ๐ธ
- and spending longer exploring.
The BIGGEST thing to remember? # Itโs a LONG day ๐
Loro Parque is located in the north of Tenerife, meaning:
- around 90 minutes travel each way ๐
- early starts
- and tired children by the end of the day.
Top tip ๐ก
Do NOT book another excursion the same evening.
Perfect for:
โ mixed age families
โ animal lovers
โ one big memorable family day
๐ BEST HOT DAY OPTION
Pool Days, Soft Plays & Hotel Activities

- snacks nearby ๐

Itโs also worth checking your hotel entertainment and kids clubs.
Many hotels offer:
- mini discos ๐

โ relaxed evenings

๐ BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT OPTION
La Pepa Rooftop
La Pepa Rooftop works brilliantly for mixed ages because it removes the stress of: # โwhat does everyone want to eat?โ ๐
Itโs more of a relaxed food hall atmosphere, meaning families can choose from:

- desserts ๐ฆ
- drinks ๐น
- and loads of different food options all in one place.
There are also:

Perfect for:
โ mixed tastes
โ easier dinners

๐๏ธ BEST โDO NOTHINGโ DAYS

The reality? Children often remember:

- and family time
more than the expensive excursions.
Donโt underestimate:
