My wife and I visited Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz while on our honeymoon, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our trip. I just kept thinking how much my 9-year-old would have loved it too -- there's so much to see and do for all ages. We spent about six hours there, but it really wasn't enough. From start to finish, it was amazing. All of the shows were fantastic -- the orcas, sea lions, and dolphins were incredible to watch, and it was lovely to see how well cared for and happy the animals seemed. The staff clearly put a lot of effort into making the experience both entertaining and educational. Beyond the shows, the park itself is absolutely beautiful. The Aquarium is stunning, especially the shark tunnel, and the Planet Penguin exhibit -- complete with real snow -- was just brilliant. We also loved the Katandra Treetops aviary, where you can walk through bridges surrounded by tropical birds and lush greenery. Everywhere you go, the grounds are spotless and perfectly maintained. There are so many other animals and attractions to enjoy -- gorillas, tigers, parrots, orchids, and tropical gardens. The whole place is laid out really well, and it's easy to get around. The food options are good too, with plenty of places to grab a drink or a snack between shows. Everything about Loro Parque feels organised and professional, but also relaxed and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about animal welfare, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. My only advice is to arrive early and plan your route around the show times -- that way you can see everything without rushing. Overall, it was an unforgettable day and great value for money. We'll definitely go back on our next visit -- and next time, I'll be bringing my 9-year-old! read more

We visited this zoo during the SLOW season. It was slightly crowded but there were no lines at ticket booths, restaurants or restrooms. There was plenty of seating at the shows. If you are on a time limited tour you should plan to see all the animal shows first. They were wonderful. The park, restaurant, and restrooms were all well maintained and clean. read more

Loro Parque (Spanish for "parrot park") is a beautiful park with spectacular shows, astonishing animal exhibits, and prepossessing parrots. The 33 pound entrance fee is well worth it, and you can easily spend the entire day here. Everything is in Spanish, English, or German. Plan your visit around the shows (make sure to see them all!) as these are at set times. My favorites were the dolphin and orca (killer whale) show. The orca show has designated splash zones close to the front, where you can expect to get wet. The penguins and white tiger exhibits were memorable. The Ketandra Treetops display is also very cool, where you walk around wooden stairs and bridges in a large enclosure with lots of exotic parrots and birds. Food in the park is expensive as you might expect. read more

This park is well worth a visit. For people staying in Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas its quite a trek so its easier to take advantage of one of the trips for which tickets can be purchased from lots of outlets in both resorts. Although a long journey it allows you to see a different side to the island with lots of beautiful views. The park itself is extremely clean and well laid out. The staff are all friendly and happy to help. A place that any photographer or animal lover should definately visit as there is nothing but water or well cleaned glass between you and the gorgeous animals. All the enclosures are amazing and not one area looks uncared for or regularly visited by a park attendant. Food is available from several areas around the park, ranging from prepared sandwiches to self service buffet style to reservable table dining in the central restaurant. A place to visit and revisit on trips to Tenerife, the shows are all top notch and enclosures and number of animal types constantly being updated. read more

Most amazing Parrot Park in the world. Very clean. Lots to see and lots to do. The owner walks through the park every evening to check on the animals. Lots of love goes into this place. Of course, no zoo is perfect, but you can tell these guys go above and beyond to look after the well-being of the animals. read more

This Parque is superb. We got a free train ride all the way there on the "Loro Parque express". we all thought the park was first class and had so much to see and do. The dolphin show was the highlight of the holiday, so the family had to see it more than once. When we went some years ago the prices were very reasonable but we preferred to eat our lunch before we got there. The toilets and general area was all well taken care of on our visit read more

Holiday on Teneriffa? This is a place you must go if you have children or if the child in you is still alive or if you have a ffeling for animals or, or, or... We have visited a lot of animal parks before and we expected a little and typical unprofesional park made by some enthusiasts with a lot of love. We became proselytized by the professional behaviour and style of the park and its staff members. For sure, if you are not an animal hating person you will love this place, too. Our advices: go there early in the morning or stay until dawn. We did both! In the late shows you will find more space because the young children are already on the way home. read more

If you find yourself on the beautiful island of Tenerife then you simply must visit the Loro park which is basically a zoo but it offers so much more than you get from zoo`s in the UK. The Loro park has some amazing animals and they set up their feeding times and shows so no matter what time you arrive you are certain to get to see more than animals lazing in the sun. There are some great places to eat and drink throughout the park and it really is a great DAY out rather than a great few hours. I have been to this park several times now and could never tire of it, the surroundings are beautiful and the closeness of the animals takes your breath away. An absolute must if you visit Tenerife! read more

This is the highlight of my holiday every time i visit tenerife. With the fantastic animals and a brilliant penguin area i found the whole day brilliant. Would highly reccoment read more

If you go to Tenerife I would definitely go to Loro Parque no matter what age you are. We went in a group all mid-late 20's and everyone loved it, we wished we could've stayed longer. We used one of the tours which was about 9 euros each but worth it as the guide told you loads of interesting shit about the animals and the park itself and also took you behind the scenes of the park. All the animal shows were really amazing, especially the sea lions which I wasn't too bothered about seeing but it turned out to be excellent. Now you can also buy combined tickets with the Siam park which also looks amazing. Cannot wait to go to Tenerife again and visit here once again, 5 stars. read more

An absolute no Go ! Just google Morgan and you will change your mind about visiting. Animals suffer a life in captivity to entertain visitors. Is that really worth it? I would much rather see animals in their natural habitat than support a park that doesn't even provide their animals the basic needs such as room to swim. No thanks !! read more

One of my fondest memories from my younger years is from Loro parque. a really fantastic place for adults and kids and you get memories that will last you a lifetime. they also make a firm effort to educate visitors about the animals they have, rather than just showcasing them too. read more

From the moment you enter Loro Parque it's obvious no expense has been spared to create amazing spaces for the animals. The first thing we saw was the vast gorilla enclosure and one of the magnificent creatures running towards us at full speed - an awe inspiring sight! Next onto the Penguinarium where they have created a superb recreation of the natural habitat complete with iceberg and tonnes of falling snow. Watching them joyfully jumping and diving into the water made London Zoo's concrete penguin enclosure seem cruel. The day was topped off by the best sea lion show I have ever seen. These people really care about the animals and Loro Parque is one of the main reasons we are returning to Tenerife next year. read more

Loro Parque is just awesome.We were there about one month ago and Im still amazed!!I was damn sad when we leaved,because we only had 3 hours to stay!All this animals(dolphins,orcas,gorillas,tigers...)are just so unbelievable,beautiful and fascinating to whatch!!If you are at tenerife,you really have to visit this park,its great and I promise you,you wont regret!!Its defenitly more than a zoo,you'll see beautiful plants and flowers too!I will come back for sure!Join this amazing place,its worth all the time and money!!! read more

The adverts are not exaggerating--this is a Must Do! I've been to lots of zoos and aquariums, and Loro Parque is BY FAR the BEST (Sorry Sea World and Hagenbeck's Tierpark, second place for you). The whole vibe is positive. And, there is something for everyone here. Orcas, jaguars, shows, food, tropical birds, orchids, penguins, gorillas, tropical plants.... We spent the day exploring the extensive grounds, enjoying the shows (orcas, sea lions, dolphins & birds), marveling at the plants and animals. There's a kid's play area with rollercoaster. Just be careful in the Katandra Treetops! :-) What impressed me the most was the relationship between the animals and their trainers/caretakers. It was clear that much time and intention is spent in ensuring a high-quality of life. The staff teach visitors about the animals and environment in a gentle yet honest way. The whole experience felt friendly and caring and positive. Weeks later, we're still talking about the orcas and dolphins. Our daughter says that she can't wait to go back, and that she wants to have a summer job at Loro Parque when she is a teenager! Now that's an endorsement! read more

I had the good fortune to go here while on a cruise holiday, and you can see the love given to all the animals here by the keepers, plus this beautiful place is just fantastic and you really need two visits to fully get around the lovely place to see all the animals and shows. Plus all the places you can eat at are just as fantastic with tasty food, please enjoy your visit here, you will not be disappointed. read more

Big disappointment. Too crowded, weak Shows. If you like to be in the cues, waiting for something to happens then try it, otherwise go to south, there it is better. read more

Loro park is the best animal park/sanctuary across the entire 7 Canary Islands with hours of fun for the whole family. Upon entry to the park you will be welcomed by the lush green trees and grass that expands around the entire massive compound, fish in abundance and the many wonderfull birds that fly around the park with nothing to trap or keep them there accept their love for the staff and park. All this is just the very beggining of a fantastic experiance that will show you how intelligent some animals can be and some just lazy, as you visit animals such as penguins in a rebuilt narural habitate that even snows, orca whales working with people, dolphins playing, seals that do amazing tricks, puffins, parrots and whole lot more including a massive gorilla that loves to throw his personally made presents at people. Loro park just has too much more to mention, I would definately give it a 10 out of 10 for a must have holiday experiance you will never forget. read more
