Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is one of Tenerife’s best-known family attractions. A little planning helps you make the most of the day, especially in busy school-holiday periods.
Check official opening information
Opening hours, ticket options, presentations and transport arrangements can change. Check the park’s official website before travelling and keep your tickets accessible on your phone or in print, as required.
Arrive early
Arriving close to opening time gives you more space to orient yourself, plan the areas you want to see and avoid the busiest entrance period. If you drive, allow time for parking and the short walk to the entrance.
Plan a relaxed route
Rather than rushing between every area, choose a sensible route and leave room for breaks. Families with young children should allow time for food, shade and rest. Check show or presentation schedules on arrival instead of assuming times from an old guide.
Combine it with Puerto de la Cruz
Loro Parque is easy to combine with Puerto de la Cruz, the seafront or a north-Tenerife road trip. A hire car is convenient if you are staying in the south or want to continue to La Orotava afterwards.
Responsible visit
Follow staff guidance, respect animal-viewing areas and use official information for current welfare, access and safety rules.
