Two sides to family fun
Beyond the beaches, Tenerife is made for family adventures. Take on forest walks in the greener north, explore colourful streets in Santa Cruz or ride the cable car up Mount Teide for that ‘wow’ moment. It’s a brilliant way to mix learning and fresh-air fun.
Day to night
With year-round sunshine, families can stay outdoors all day. Think splash-tastic waterparks, mini-golf, boat trips and beach play. As evening falls, the mood stays relaxed with early shows, open-air dining and family-friendly restaurants where kids are always welcome.
Tasty treats for all ages
Local food in Tenerife is simple, tasty and great for families. Pick up honey, cheese and snacks from local markets, then try papas arrugadas – small wrinkly potatoes served with mild mojo dips. They’re on most menus and ideal for sharing at family mealtimes. Yum!
