1. Loro Parque

Loro Parque is situated to the north of the Tenerife capital city, Puerto de la Cruz, and you can park your car at the entrance. The highlight of the park is its collection of parrots, the largest in the world, which includes more than 350 species and sub-species. You can see some of these parrots performing in one of the Loro Shows which are held in the park throughout the day.

You can also see orca, dolphin and sea lion shows, and Loro Parque's other residents include tigers, jaguars, alligators, gorillas and giant tortoises. Don't miss the Parrot Museum, where you can see the world's largest collection of porcelain parrots. There is also a children's play area, Kinderlandia, which includes suspension bridges and slides.

2. La guilas Jungle Park

This zoo and botanical park is about 3km from the popular resort of Los Cristianos, and is easy to get to if you hire a car. Las guilas Jungle Park is home to more than 500 animals, birds and reptiles including primates, big cats, penguins, pygmy hippos and crocodiles. You can watch the daily Birds of Prey and Exotic Bird shows, explore the Jungle Raid adventure area or take a ride on Bob, the park jungle sled.

The park has plenty of food outlets where you can stop for a bite to eat, and there are souvenir stalls where you can buy something to remind you of your visit.

3. Aqualand Costa Adeje Waterpark

As part of your Canary Islands travel guide, if you hire a car during your stay in Tenerife, you can drive to the Aqualand Costa Adeje Waterpark in the south-west of the island. This all-year attraction features a range of rides including water slides and a rapids ride, but if you do not want to do anything too energetic, you can simply float along the Congo River on a raft.

There is also a dolphinarium in the park, where you can see bottlenose dolphins perform in daily shows or simply watch them swim and play underwater.
