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.

Summer is well and truly here and if you want to make it last then you might want to consider an autumn getaway. Beautiful sun-drenched beaches, stunning scenery and plenty of entertainment can go along way to making up for seasonal blues. Great deals on hotels in top locations such as the enchanting Canary Islands make the choice even easier. Many of the Canaries’ major tourist hot spots are offering low prices at the moment. With the latest deals falling as low as £9 per person per night, holiday-makers can afford to be tempted by the idea of an autumn sunshine break.

Out of the Canary Islands, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are the most well known. Each has a wide range of offerings to cater for all visitors, from beaches and nightlife to water sports and other family activities.

Party goers, for example, are being lured to the buzzing bars and clubs of Tenerife with prices for Tenerife hotels in major hot spot Playa de las Americas falling to around £15 per person per night based on two people sharing a self catering apartment.

Lanzarote has its share of night time offerings too, as well as plenty for beach lovers and water sports fans. Two people staying in pretty Playa Blanca this October can find Lanzarote hotels deals for around £14 per person per night. Meanwhile, there’s more sunshine and relaxation to be found on Fuerteventura. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the Canaries are said to be here, with prices for Fuerteventura hotels down to around £10 per person per night in November.

A further selection of picturesque beaches and some superb diving can be enjoyed on Gran Canaria, where a wide selection of cheap Gran Canaria hotels are on offer.
