There’s only so much sandcastle-building children can do on a family holiday in the sun before they get bored and need something else to keep them occupied. When staying in Tenerife hotels, it’s worth constructing a list of possible attractions to consult during your holiday, should your children get bored of the sun, sea and sand.

Tenerife’s popular zoo, Loco Parque, is ideal for families with animal-loving children. If you’re staying in Fuerteventura hotels, Oasis de Los Camellos zoo in La Lajita makes a fantastic family day out. During your visit, your children can enjoy horse or camel rides, as well as watching entertaining parrot shows.

If you’re getting hot and bothered on the beach, a cool option is to head to a water park. Water parks are always a favourite with children, which is great news if you’re staying in Tenerife, as it offers tourists the Siam Park Water Kingdom. For those staying in hotels in Lanzarote there is a smaller water park called Aquapark, which is ideal if you don’t want to spend a whole day out in the sun.

Another fun family activity is to go to the Gran Karting Club in Lanzarote. All ages can enjoy a day here – with long tracks available to teenages, a 100m track for 5-12 year-olds and special battery-driven karts for under fives. The whole track is run by professionals who supervise everything happening on track, and there is plenty of safety kit to ensure they come back in one piece.

Families flock to Tenerife hotels every summer for fun in the sun, but this year why not plan some day trips that are especially for the children. No matter if you opt for the zoo, water parks or go karting, your kids – and you – will certainly be having fun in the sun.
