Loro Parque Tenerife: Tickets, Opening Hours and Visit Tips

Updated in 2026. Loro Parque is one of the best-known attractions in Puerto de la Cruz and, for many families, an essential visit in Tenerife. However, it is worth organising it carefully: opening hours, presentations, the free train, parking, food, accessibility, and ticket purchases can make the difference between a comfortable day and a morning of “what time was the dolphin presentation?”.

This guide is designed for a practical visit in 2026, with checked official information and genuinely useful advice. It does not promise prices that may change tomorrow or turn the park into a race from one presentation to the next.

Loro Parque opening hours in 2026

The official Loro Parque website lists opening hours of Monday to Sunday, 09:30 to 17:30. It also states that the park opens every day of the year. Even so, check the official page before visiting, especially if you are travelling on public holidays, long weekends, or dates with high demand.

Tickets: the official channel is best

My recommendation for 2026 is to buy tickets on the official Loro Parque website. The page lets you select a date and view options such as general admission, a Twin Ticket with Siam Park, an annual pass, premium experiences, and a bus service from the south.

I have not included a fixed price here because it can vary according to the type of ticket, promotions, resident status, packages, or extras. What is useful is knowing where to check it: on the official website, immediately before buying. Less romance, more avoiding surprises.

Presentations: how to organise them without stress

Loro Parque publishes presentation times and recommends arriving a few minutes in advance. The official information consulted lists sea lion, parrot, dolphin, and orca presentations, each lasting approximately 20 minutes. Times may change, so the best approach is to check them when you arrive and organise your route around the two or three that genuinely interest you.

Advice: do not try to see everything as though you had a stopwatch strapped to your forehead. The park is also enjoyable when you walk around, visit the aquarium, take breaks, and let children look at whatever catches their attention, even if it is not in your mental spreadsheet.

How to get to Loro Parque

By car

The park is in Puerto de la Cruz, and the official website states that it has an exclusive car park for customers. If you are travelling from the south, allow plenty of time for the long journey. If you are staying in the north, it is much easier to fit into your plans.

Free train from Puerto de la Cruz

One of the most practical options if you are already in Puerto de la Cruz is the free Loro Parque train. The official website lists departures every 20 minutes from Plaza de los Reyes Católicos, beside McDonald’s, travelling between the square and the park.

Bus from the south

Loro Parque also offers a bus service from the south of the island. Its official website states that buses arrive at the park from 10:00 and return to the south at 16:30; routes and schedules are available in its visit-planning section.

Services inside the park

The official website lists several useful services for planning your visit:

• Free Wi-Fi throughout the park.
• Picnic and rest areas around the route.
• Restaurants, kiosks, cafés, and beer bars, with published opening hours of 11:00 to 16:30 for restaurants and 09:30 to 17:30 for kiosks.
• Wheelchairs available to hire free of charge with a deposit.
• Mobility scooters available by prior reservation for a daily price of €15 plus a deposit, according to the official website.
• Pushchairs available for a daily price of €5 plus a deposit.

For wheelchairs, mobility aids, or special requirements, it is advisable to contact the park in advance. The website itself recommends booking some services beforehand.

What to see inside Loro Parque

Loro Parque combines gardens, aviaries, an aquarium, a penguin habitat, children’s areas, educational spaces, and presentations. On your first visit, the best approach is to arrive early, check the map, and organise the day by area, not only by show times.

• Aquarium and marine areas: a good place to rest from the sun and enjoy a change of setting.
• Penguin habitat: one of the most popular spaces, ideal for families.
• Aviaries and parrots: an essential part of the park’s identity.
• Katandra Treetops: an immersive walk among birds, if available during your visit.
• Presentations: check the times on arrival and choose your priorities.

Tips for visiting Loro Parque with children

• Arrive early and do not leave everything until the last hour.
• Take a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable footwear.
• Do not attend one presentation after another without breaks.
• Agree on a meeting point in case anyone gets separated.
• Check the food options before hunger turns the visit into a survival documentary.

Is Loro Parque worth visiting?

Yes, especially if you are travelling with children, staying in the north, or enjoy wildlife and nature parks. If you are coming from the south for only a few hours, calculate the journey carefully. In that case, a ticket with transport or devoting the entire day to the visit may be more worthwhile.

It is also a good idea to combine it with Puerto de la Cruz: Playa Jardín, the historic centre, Lago Martiánez, or a relaxed dinner afterwards. However, if you are going with young children, do not try to fit Loro Parque and half the island into the same day. Sometimes the best plan is to leave happy, not exhausted.
