Definitely worth a visit! It was a really great experience, and both children and adults were very happy. The highlight was getting so close to the monkeys and other animals, which made the visit unforgettable. We bought our tickets in advance, so we didn’t have to wait in the long queue and saved a lot of time. Inside the park, you can also buy food to feed the animals, which makes the experience even more fun. The park is clean, well organised, and not overcrowded, making it perfect for families. Just make sure to come early in the morning when the animals are more active and willing to eat
An amazing place to visit. A great place for kids to see animals from so close and to feed animals. Need to Pay extra for animal feed- not allowed to bring your own. The zoo is not very big but very busy with visitors, despite everyone is moving, there is no ques to be waiting in. I would highly recomend to visit if near by.
One of the best small zoo’s I visited. It's perfect few hour hang out for families with children. Kids mainly enjoyed feeding guinea pigs and monkeys. I wish capybaras would be there as well!! That's the only downside! Prices are good and you can purchase food to feed animals for €3. I would advise to come at early morning before crowds of tourists come.
Great place to spend the day, there are monkeys, guinea pigs and birds of all shapes and colours here. You can feed the animals with food from the front gate, at the time of this review the price is €3 a pot and it contains fruit and vegetables There is a small car park that gets full quick but there is also a taxi rank just outside the park entrance full of taxis There are free clean toilets on site and easy access ramps for disabled to
A very nice place, especially for children. You have the opportunity to observe lemurs up close. There are many types of monkeys. You can buy food and feed the animals, but if you visit the zoo later in the day, the animals will have eaten well :)
We had a lovely trip here today! Not crazy crowded and lovely animal conservation. Ticket prices have gone up since last year, but the quality of the park, the enclosures etc has also improved, so well worth the €10. would love to return.
It's a lovely zoo overall. The animals look well looked after and it's spaced out quite nicely. The staff are friendly and it's reasonably priced. However, my one change to the place would be that I think they should install some sort of traffic system to the walk through enclosures. It's no fault of the zoo itself, but despite the copious amounts of signage in the park about not touching the animals, all I saw in the walk through enclosures were hoards of people trying to pet the squirrel monkeys and lemurs, even the giant tortoise who were constantly trying to walk away from from everyone but constantly cornered. Irresponsible parents letting their children chase the animals and corner them, even adults blatantly ignoring the signs that are pasted all over the park. The monkeys especially looked uncomfortable and stressed, one in particular got fed up and snapped at a woman and I sort of hoped it would've bitten her to teach a lesson. I think it would be less stressful for these animals if the zoo implemented a traffic system so they can monitor the walk through enclosures better. Otherwise, it's a lovely place to visit.
We had this booked through tenerife best excursions which came with discounted tickets for the park (only €5pp). It's an amazing park with plenty of animals/birds to see and even feed! Food only costs €3 for a pot and you can feed as many guinea pigs as you could imagine. Very polite and friendly staff at the entrance as well as within the enclosures.

beautiful sandy beach, a bit touristy but we went on a weekday and there is plenty of space for everyone. the beach is like 1-1,5 km long so you can enjoy a walk on the shoreline as the sea is calm. I also took a bath and it wasn’t too cold, the water is clean and i really enjoyed it!!
Lovely, large beach which is always popular and busy but without feeling overcrowded, at least at this time of year (late October). We've had no problems getting sunbeds and the prices for hire - €4 each for the day - are reasonable. The water is generally fairly calm, or as calm as you're going to get with the Atlantic, and there's some fantastic snorkeling to be had around any of the artificial rock formations. There's a huge variety of fish there, that presumably most beachgoers are completely unaware of, and the shoals seem largely unfazed as you drift past watching them.
Playa de Las Vistas offers beautiful views and exceptionally clean sand. It’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy the coastline. The beach is well-maintained and perfect for a peaceful day by the sea. Highly recommended!
Playa Las Vistas turned out to be a wonderful beach that we truly enjoyed during our week-long vacation. First, I should mention that it's a very wide beach, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. While there are still tidal waves here, you'll experience fewer waves on the eastern side of the beach. The water is completely clear and the sand is fine, almost like Cleopatra sand. You can enjoy free showers, and most importantly. it's located very close to Los Cristianos, so it will probably be close to your hotels as well. You should definitely add this beach to your favorites rather than the beaches in the eastern Adeje region. It was the best one after visiting more than 10 different beaches.
The Beach of the Views in Tenerife is a beautiful and clean spot to relax and enjoy the sun. The water is clear, the sand is well-maintained, and overall, it’s a great place to spend the day. What brings the rating down slightly is the constant presence of people trying to sell things — massages, drinks, knockoff items, and other things you’re probably not interested in. It can get a bit annoying when you’re just trying to unwind. Still, if you can look past that, it’s definitely worth a visit for the clean beach and the overall chill vibe. Just be ready to say “no, gracias” quite a few times!
Long, wide golden sand beach noticeably bigger compared to the Playa de Los Cristianos. It’s a great spot for a beach walk, as the coastline is longer and lined with more restaurants and shops. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available. You’ll also find showers and toilets at the entrances. As with most places in the area, the restaurants are quite touristy, so expect to see pizza, burgers, pasta, steak, and seafood on most menus rather than local dishes.
wonderful beach, there is always room on sunbeds and under an umbrella, clean water, a little seaweed. Somewhere there are large stones on the bottom. Sometimes it is windy and there are waves. There are toilets and showers on the beach
The beach is lined with numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering plenty of options for dining and leisure. The promenade is perfect for a leisurely stroll, providing picturesque views of the ocean. Whether you're looking to relax by the water or enjoy some local cuisine, Las Vistas Beach has something for everyone.

Nice golden sand beach. There are plenty of sunbeds, but also lots of space if you want to lay down your own towel. Sunbeds are €3, and umbrellas are also €3. There are beach volley areas that you can play. Showers and toilets are available at the entrances. There are many tour companies around offering activities like diving, jet skiing, and whale/dolphin-watching boat tours. There are lots of restaurants, but they’re all quite touristy, so don’t expect to find any local food — mostly pizza, burgers, steak, pasta, and seafood. It’s smaller compared to Playa de las Vistas, which is just a 5-minute walk away
Its golden sands and clear waters are appealing, but the presence of ferry harbors is a significant drawback. Additionally, it gets quite windy, which can spoil the atmosphere. Overall, it's an okay beach. However, the area around the beach offers a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.
As someone who has vacationed along all the Mediterranean coasts, I first want to mention that swimming in the ocean offers a completely different experience - with high waves and strong tides. While Los Cristianos is a charming town in Tenerife, unfortunately the beach isn't as clean as it could be due to the nearby port. There's also a general odor present, albeit mild, which I'm comparing to other beaches I've visited. For example, Las Vistas Beach or El Camisón are much more enjoyable - they're wider, more beautiful, and relatively cleaner. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone wants to swim in a bay where large cruise ships and car ferries are constantly coming and going. On the positive side, there are excellent beach volleyball courts available for those who want to play - they get wet from the waves which is great fun. One of the nice aspects of being in the town center is that you can easily shop at supermarkets for whatever you need. Additionally, there are dining options like McDonald's and Burger King in the surrounding area.
Playa de Los Cristianos is a long beach in the heart of one of Tenerife’s busiest resort towns. With soft pale sand and a gentle slope into the ocean, it’s especially popular with families and older travelers. The beach has earned the Blue Flag for its clean water, safety, and excellent services. Thanks to a breakwater, the ocean here is calm — no strong waves or currents — and lifeguards are on duty every day. MORE PLACES AND INFO ON WEB HONEST TENERIFE
Beautiful beach! Friendly for kids, as it has a smooth entrance in the water and there are no rocks. The sand is very soft, but it burns in the middle of the day. Never crowded and lots of stores and restaurants close by. Bathroom and showers are available
Good location but a bit noisy and smokey due to the port nearby.
I like the area and the vibe. Is a thin sandy beach. Not very busy as Costa Adeje so good to enjoy the sun and the ocean. All around full of restaurants and coffees, shops all you need. I enjoy it
Lovely beach with comfortable sunbeds and very reasonably priced 9euro for the day with umbrella. 3euro for one sunbed. Lots of bars and shops along the beach front. Roxanne's bar/ restaurant is a must for cocktails and food.

All my life I've never been so close to wild animals in any zoo park visited. This one tops it all. We decided to come as a last minute decision so we arrived later in the afternoon and still had a good time before they closed. We missed most of the shows like the wild bird and seal events but still had an amazing time seeing all the animals up close. We are definitely coming back to enjoy all the shows we missed next time we are here.
On holiday and visited here for a day trip. We used the free coach service that was easy to use and had a steady drive from the coach driver. The park itself was very good and had plenty of shade on the very warm day. The animals seem to be cared for well and the sea Lion show was brilliant. Unfortunately we did not get to see the BORNEAN ORANGUTAN 🦧 as the enclosure was all closed up? Definitely worth visiting
Brilliant park and good for all ages, we went rather late in the day due to a previous outing but found plenty of parking. You can park on site for I believe €5 but there was free parking out on the road A suggestion to the park would be to reduce the price of the parking or remove it all together as people will just park outside to save money The animals are in good enclosures some you can even walk into, like the lemurs enclosure There are also it'll food depositors dotted around so you can buy a pot of food and feed the animals They do have shows on throughout the day but we only saw the sealion show due to the time we arrived but that show was very good and the seals seemed to really enjoy taking part in the show There are free clean toilets dotted around usually near a cafe, we didn't use the cafes as we didn't want anything to eat but the services looked clean but with any park the prices were increased slightly There are photographers that walk around with animals that you can take pictures with and as you leave you have the option to buy the pictures which of course we did, they are €10 a picture All in all if you're struggling with things to do simply come here it's an an entire day out and you won't regret it
One of the best zoos I have visited in a long time abroad. The staff keep the place so clean and the shows are well worth watching. The only thing I would say it the food is overpriced over €15 for a pizza and €21 for a burger is excessive and drinks are exactly the same but then it’s a captive audience and they get away with it. We bought our tickets from hotel and got the free bus there and back.
First I thought it was overpriced, but it’s actually very well maintained and animals are looked after. Unfortunately we were not able to see the birds show due to the strong wind, however sea lions were amazing. Would recommend.
Had a wonderful day here. Lots of animals to see. We went October & it was nice & quiet. Loads of beautiful photos taken. Did the twin ticket with the aquapark so worked out really good value.
Good half day out with the kids. Lots of animals to see but not a huge amount. No flow to walking around meaning you miss out on parts and have to back track. Bob sleigh and jungle raid is fun. Sea lion show was impressive. Park wasn't busy at all. They absolutely rinse you for 10 euro per picture and lots of staff going around with a bird etc to get a picture. Be aware. The food and drink prices are absolutely ridiculously expensive. 31 euro for two slushies and two smoothies. 7 euro for a portion of chips. Way over priced.
Natural park, with a lot of place with wild nature viewing. What was interesting to my kids, was jungle road and bob. Birds and seals show was interesting too. Giving 5 stars, this park has to rebirth. Sometimes I think, that this park was ungratefully forgotten.

A lovely place to see. We visited here with my daughter 18 years ago, so I was so happy to see it is still there, and looks even better. The shopping area around it is lovely and clean, and perfect for a bit of shade from the sun haha. There are toilets there too, which is a bonus 😁
Plenty of shops to visit. I was there to visit Hard Rock Cafe. Sidewalks were wide and well kept. Felt safe with visible security everywhere. All kinds of shops, restaurants and venues for entertainment. It's easy to get there with plenty of taxis and Ubers. Parking was available. Some free and paid was very reasonable.
Visiting the musical fountain was an enchanting experience! The synchronization of the water jets with the music was mesmerizing, creating a stunning visual and auditory spectacle. Each sequence was carefully choreographed, with vibrant lights adding an extra layer of magic to the performance. The variety of music played—from classical to contemporary—kept the show engaging and ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere was lively yet peaceful, making it a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of the display. It’s an experience I’d highly recommend, whether you’re looking for a romantic evening, a family outing, or simply a moment to unwind. If you get the chance, don’t miss this beautiful blend of art and technology!
It's a nice fountain during the day, didn't see it at night so cannot comment
It must look much better when it’s working!?
Lovely part of Las Americas. Loads of shops and easy to walk to from Los Cristianos
Beautiful street for a walk. Nightlife is amazing around fountains. Huge amount of outlets. Enjoyed every second spent there. Ladies, this is where you want to dress up.
Nice place to visit. In the very center of the most touristic place of the island. You will find hundreds of stores and restaurants nearby for enjoying both during the day or at night. The fountain itself isn't that much of the attraction but it's more the focal point of everything surrounding it. It's worth the visit and you will enjoy yourself either shopping or just having a look around; having something to eat. It is also very close to multiple hotels and beaches were you can enjoy yourself during the sunny hours and then get ready for the night entertainment.

Brilliant professional Argentine Tango show on Sunday and here all week to the 13th I think. Strictly has nothing on it. Everything is communicated in the dance, music and singing, including the humour... No Spanish required. Really recommend a visit to this site of about 80 minutes whether you're a tourist or resident, Spanish speaking or otherwise. Simply A-may-zing!
Good show "History". Although the show takes about 20 minutes to start getting interesting, it gradually gets better and better for a great finish. Very good performance from the whole team!
A lovely venue, and we really enjoyed the History of Music show, which was amazing! There were 2 aspects of the visit which were not so good... 1. No allocated seat numbers, so you have to be early to get a good seat. 2. The bar was not well run, and lots of people missed the start of the 2nd half because of slow service.
Decent show hall with comfy seats and spacious entrance. Nice that you can pre-purchase drinks for vouchers for quicker service between sets.
Went to see the flamenco show with the VIP experience. Perfect view on reclining leather chairs and a bottle of Cava. In the interval had photos with the dancers. I could not believe the size of the theatre which is underneath the Hard Rock Cafe. Another must see when in Tenerife!
Lovely place. We had a wonderful New Year's eve. Lots of fire works and people enjoying themselves. Nice to see during the day and special atmosphere during the night.
This is a brilliant show the closing first Nd and the finally is a must see. The theater holes 1610 people and the night I was there I think I counted 200 so you will find a seat without an issue. When I am back i will see the show again. I think what stood people is the price of tickets but it is worth every cent
A very nice auditorium, however, the air conditioning wasn’t turned on and it was very very hot. The percussionist Tony Succar and his amazing band and singers were sweating profusely. This is completely unnecessary as they would have probably enjoyed their own performance even more and we the audience would have joined them dancing more than we did! Please take note of this if you would like international stars to come back and, of course, if you would like to have a loyal audience regardless if it’s touristic or not. Thank you
