🐒 JUNGLE PARK TENERIFE WILDLIFE, JUNGLE AND ADVENTURE IN ONE PLACE
If you are planning a holiday in Tenerife and would like to spend a day doing something different from the beach, Jungle Park Tenerife can be a great option for both children and adults.
Located in the south of Tenerife, near Arona, Jungle Park is much more than a traditional zoo. Among tropical vegetation, waterfalls, lakes and jungle-like paths, you can discover a wide variety of animals, watch several animal shows and feeding sessions, and even try an adventure activity during your visit.
One of the things that makes Jungle Park interesting is that the surroundings are part of the experience. As you explore the park, you walk across bridges, along paths surrounded by lush vegetation and through different areas designed to create a jungle atmosphere. It feels more like discovering a wildlife park step by step than simply walking from one animal enclosure to another.
If you are visiting Tenerife with kids and are looking for a varied family activity, Jungle Park is certainly worth considering.

🌴 What can you see at Jungle Park Tenerife?
Jungle Park is not only about seeing animals.
As you explore the park, tropical vegetation, waterfalls, lakes and jungle-style paths create a very different setting from a traditional zoo. There are also several animal shows and feeding sessions, so it is worth checking the daily timetable before you start your visit.
Depending on the current animal collection, you can see penguins, otters, orangutans, siamangs, capuchin monkeys, Bornean gibbons, lemurs, raccoons, coatis, capybaras, meerkats, tortoises, crocodiles, exotic birds and birds of prey.
The park also has a tropical terrarium, an orchidarium and a bat cave, so there is plenty to explore even if you do not want to spend the whole visit moving from one show to the next.
And if you would like to add a little adventure to your day, there is Jungle Raid, a more than 300-metre adventure course with bridges, passages and tunnels. Jungle Raid is included in the entrance ticket.

🦜 What animals can you see at Jungle Park Tenerife?
One of the things that makes Jungle Park interesting is that the animals are only part of the experience. The park is divided into different areas, so instead of simply walking around one large zoo enclosure, you discover different habitats and paths as you make your way through the park.
🐒 Monkeys and primates
Jungle Park is home to several different primate species, including:
-
Capuchin monkeys
-
Siamangs
-
Bornean gibbons
-
Orangutans
-
Lemurs
-
Other smaller primate species
One of the more unusual experiences is Walking Among Lemurs, where you can observe these curious animals from closer quarters. The experience is currently available between 11:00 and 16:00.
This can be especially interesting when visiting Jungle Park with kids, as seeing the animals at close range feels quite different from simply watching them from the other side of an enclosure.
🦦 Otters, coatis and raccoons
You can also see otters, coatis and raccoons around the park.
The current feeding time for the coatis and raccoons is 12:00, so if your family particularly enjoys animal feeding sessions, it is worth keeping this time in mind when planning the first part of your visit.
🐧 Penguins and sea lions
Penguins and sea lions are another highlight of Jungle Park.
The penguin feeding takes place at 12:15, while the sea lion show starts at 13:30. If you would like to see both, planning your route around these times can make the visit much easier.
📸 Photo with a sea lion
If you would like to take home a special memory from your Jungle Park visit, there is also an opportunity to have your photo taken with a sea lion.
There is an important detail to know: registration and payment for the sea lion photo are handled inside the park after you arrive. The photo is not included in the standard entrance ticket.
💡 Adan Tours Tenerife tip: If you would like a sea lion photo, don't leave it until the end of the day. Ask about it after entering the park and arrange it early, so you can then plan the rest of your visit around it.
🦅 Birds of prey
The birds of prey show is one of the more spectacular experiences at Jungle Park. You can see eagles, vultures and other birds of prey in flight during the presentation.
The current Birds of Prey Show starts at 12:30.
If you are visiting Tenerife with children who are fascinated by animals, this is one of the shows worth considering when planning your route through the park.
🐊 Crocodiles, snakes and tortoises
Jungle Park also has several reptiles, including snakes, tortoises and crocodiles.
The Tropical Terrarium is an interesting part of the park for children who enjoy discovering unusual and exotic animals.
🦜 Exotic birds
Birds are an important part of the Jungle Park experience. Depending on the current collection, you can see different exotic birds, flamingos, crowned cranes and birds of prey.
There is also a dedicated aviary, currently open from 11:00 to 16:00, where you can explore the park's birdlife.
🐢 Other animals
The animal collection also includes species such as capybaras, meerkats, servals, armadillos, Patagonian maras, Parma wallabies, porcupines and other animals.
The exact zoological collection can change, so it is always worth checking the current park information when planning your visit.
✨ Exclusive experiences at Jungle Park
Jungle Park is not only about observing animals from a distance. If you would like to make your visit a little more special, several exclusive experiences are available at the park.
These activities are not automatically included in the standard entrance ticket, so if one of them particularly interests you, it is worth checking the current conditions and availability before or after arriving at the park.
🦅 Photo with eagles and exotic birds
One of the more unusual souvenirs from Jungle Park is a photo with eagles, parrots and other exotic birds.
The birds can be seen at very close range, making this more than just a typical holiday photo. It can be a memorable experience, particularly for children who love animals.
The photo experience is not included in the standard entrance ticket.
🥕 Feed the animals yourself
At several points around Jungle Park, you can buy food and feed certain animals yourself.
According to the park, food can be used to feed animals such as emus, carp, tortoises, lorikeets, ducks and flamingos.
For families, this can be a fun little extra because the children are not only watching the animals but can also take part in the experience.
Animal feeding is an additional paid activity and is not included in the standard entrance ticket.
🐾 Animal Passport – a closer look at the animal world
The Animal Passport experience is aimed at visitors who would like to learn more about the animals rather than simply observe them.
The experience includes an introduction to the world of birds of prey with the park's professional falconers, as well as the opportunity to interact with animals such as meerkats and squirrel monkeys. The experience lasts approximately 60 minutes, while schedules and prices are confirmed at the park.
If you are looking for a family activity in Tenerife, this can be particularly interesting for children who enjoy asking questions, learning about animals and seeing them at close range.
🦭 Sea lion interaction
Another more unusual experience is the Sea Lion Interaction.
During the activity, participants can get closer to the world of sea lions and learn from the trainers about their behaviour, care and training. The experience also includes some exercises with the animals and is designed as an interactive and educational activity.
This is not something you simply add while walking around the park. It is a separate experience that needs to be arranged once you are inside Jungle Park.
The current official information states that advance booking is not possible: visitors can ask the park team about the day's activities once inside and pay the additional fee there.
📸 Photo with a sea lion
There is also a separate opportunity to have your photo taken with a real sea lion.
The sea lion photo is not included in the standard Jungle Park entrance ticket and is an additional paid service.
💡 Adan Tours Tenerife tip
If you are visiting Tenerife with kids, you don't necessarily need to add every extra experience available.
Jungle Park already offers several hours of activities with animals, shows, the aviary and Jungle Raid. Instead of trying to fit everything into one day, it is often more enjoyable to choose the experiences that genuinely interest your family.
If your children love birds, for example, the bird photo experience or Animal Passport may be more interesting than animal feeding. If they enjoy getting involved, feeding some of the animals can add something extra to the visit.
The idea is not to tick every activity off a list, but to choose the experiences that will actually make the day more enjoyable for you. 🌴
🗓️ How to plan your visit to Jungle Park Tenerife
💡 Adan Tours Tenerife tip: Don't simply walk into the park and start exploring without a plan.
If you would like to see some of the animal shows and feeding sessions, it is worth checking the daily schedule first and building your visit around the activities you don't want to miss.
For example, you could plan your day like this:
-
Around 10:00 – Arrival at Jungle Park
-
Start by exploring some of the animals and walking through the first part of the park. This gives you time to get familiar with the different areas before the scheduled activities begin.
-
12:00 – Coati and raccoon feeding
-
12:15 – Penguin feeding
-
12:30 – Birds of Prey Show
-
After the morning activities, you can stop for lunch and take some time to slow down.
-
13:30 – Sea Lion Show
-
Afternoon – Jungle Raid, aviary, lemurs and the areas you may not have explored earlier
The current official schedule lists the coati and raccoon feeding at 12:00, penguin feeding at 12:15, the Birds of Prey Show at 12:30 and the Sea Lion Show at 13:30. The aviary and Walking Among Lemurs are currently available from 11:00 to 16:00.
Schedules can change, and the park may modify or cancel activities, so it is always a good idea to check the information available on the day of your visit.
💡 Adan Tours Tenerife tip for families
Don't try to follow the park minute by minute.
If you are looking for things to do in Tenerife with kids, it can be much more enjoyable to choose a few animals and shows that your family definitely wants to see and leave the rest of the day more flexible.
That way, children have time to stop and look around, take a break when they need one, or even go back to see an animal they particularly enjoyed.
The aim is not to tick everything off a list, but to enjoy the day at your own pace.
🍽️ Food and lunch at Jungle Park
You don't need to leave the park when it is time to eat. There are places to get food and drinks during your visit, which makes it easier to include lunch in your day, especially if you are spending several hours at Jungle Park with children.
💡 Adan Tours Tenerife tip: If you would like to watch the 13:30 Sea Lion Show, consider going to the restaurant around 30 minutes beforehand.
You can have lunch while also watching the sea lion presentation, making it easy to combine two parts of your day. 🦭🍽️
For families, this can be particularly practical because once the show is over, you can simply continue exploring the rest of Jungle Park.
👨👩👧 Who is Jungle Park Tenerife suitable for?
Jungle Park can fit easily into a family holiday in Tenerife. With animals, feeding sessions, shows and Jungle Raid, the visit is more varied than simply walking around a traditional zoo.
If you are visiting Tenerife with kids and are looking for a family activity where both children and adults can find something interesting, Jungle Park is worth considering.
👧 Things to do in Tenerife with kids – is Jungle Park worth including?
If you are searching for a kids' activity in Tenerife, Jungle Park can be an interesting option, especially if your children enjoy animals but you don't want to spend an entire day in a traditional zoo.
The jungle-like surroundings, animal presentations and Jungle Raid add some variety to the visit. This means that younger children can have different things to discover instead of simply walking from one enclosure to another.
Older children may particularly enjoy Jungle Raid or the BOB experience, while younger visitors may already find plenty to enjoy in the animals, feeding sessions and shows.
So if you are looking for family activities in Tenerife, Jungle Park combines wildlife, outdoor exploration and a little adventure in the same visit.
🐒 For animal lovers
If someone in the family particularly loves animals, there is plenty to discover.
The park is home to primates, birds, mammals, reptiles and aquatic animals, with different areas to explore throughout the visit.
🌴 If you want a change from the beach
A Tenerife holiday can easily turn into a routine of one beach day followed by another.
Jungle Park gives you the opportunity to spend a few hours in a completely different environment, surrounded by tropical vegetation, animals and jungle-style paths.
It can work well as a half-day activity rather than something that has to take up your entire day.
👫 For couples
Jungle Park is not only a family activity in Tenerife.
If you enjoy animals, nature and more relaxed outdoor experiences, it can also be a pleasant way for couples to spend a few hours away from the beach or pool.
🚌 How to get to Jungle Park Tenerife

⚠️ Important: Shuttle times and stops can change, so check the latest Jungle Park information before travelling.
🚗 Getting there by car
If you are renting a car in Tenerife, Jungle Park is easy to include in a day exploring the south of the island.

🌴 Jungle Park or Loro Parque?
These two parks are often compared, but in reality they offer quite different types of experiences.
🐒 Jungle Park

Located in the south of Tenerife, near Arona
-
Jungle-style surroundings with tropical vegetation, waterfalls and paths
-
A variety of animals and birds
-
Birds of Prey Show

🦜 Loro Parque

-
Larger animal park
-
More than 400 animal species
-
Several animal presentations, including sea lions, parrots, dolphins and orcas
-
Different themed areas and habitats

-
Particularly convenient if you are also planning to explore the north of Tenerife
Loro Parque is currently open from 09:30 to 17:30, and its official programme includes presentations of sea lions, parrots, dolphins and orcas throughout the day.
👉 Loro Parque Tenerife – Things to see, tickets and useful information
So the question isn't necessarily which park is better, but rather what kind of day you are looking for.
If you are staying in the south and want a few hours surrounded by animals, tropical vegetation and some adventure, Jungle Park can fit easily into your plans.
If Puerto de la Cruz or northern Tenerife is already on your itinerary and you want to dedicate most of the day to an animal park, Loro Parque may fit better into that type of day.
There is no need to choose based simply on which park has more animals. Your location, available time and the kind of experience your family is looking for can make a bigger difference.

💙 Why book your Jungle Park tickets with Adan Tours Tenerife?
We don't want to present every activity in Tenerife as if it were something everyone simply has to do.
There are so many places to visit and things to do on the island that it would be impossible — and unnecessary — to fit everything into a one-week holiday.
When you book your Jungle Park tickets with Adan Tours Tenerife, we can help with more than just the ticket.
If you are planning several activities during your stay, we can also help you think about how to organise your days, which experiences work well together and which ones are better kept for separate days.
And if we think that a particular programme doesn't really fit the kind of holiday you are planning, we'll tell you that too.
Because for us, a good Tenerife holiday isn't about ticking as many activities as possible off a list.
It's about choosing the right experiences, at the right pace, for you.
Not crowded. Not rushed. Just experiences. 🌴
