Entertainment Tenerife Loro Park is one of top Tenerife attractions.
Entertainment Tenerife by the 50 000 square meter big Loro Park or Loro Parque takes place in a zoo. If you were looking for Tenerife zoos this is the place to go to. There are no other zoos on the island, by the way. You find it in in North Tenerife in Puerto de la Cruz which is the oldest resort in the island. The gate way to Loro Parque is oppsite the old fishing village Punta Brava by Playa Jardin which is the main beach of the town.
Forget the beach for a day... Entertainment Tenerife at Loro Park by several daily shows with dolphins, sea lions and killer whale orcas will take up very much time. In between you will just about manage to stroll through the subtropical park which has of course more Tenerife attractions to offer. Last time when I went there I also discovered bats, a tiger and an old, huge tortoise. Once inside the aquarium buildings you will meet up with pinguins. They are happy fellows. Real snow flakes are showering them, from time to time. Pinguins are entertaining to watch. The aquarium with its diversified fauna is a treat but, now pay attention to the sharks behind the glass. That's more like a spooky show in the low sparsely lit passages.
In my mind much entertainment in Tenerife is provided by the huge gorillas. It's a group of males only. Why only males? Females would cause fights. The leader which is the biggest is pulling off his own stunt, at times.
The loros or, parrots are the basic theme of the park. Loro Park entertainment Tenerife presents some of them in a very sweet educational way. A vet talks to some parrots and explains what special treatment they might get for all kinds of reasons. It's all done in a very entertaining fashion.
Also, if Loro Park was still providing the tour behind the scenes you would discover things like how the gorillas make their own beds at night in their indoor sleeping quarters. Palm and banana leaves are given to them for that chore. It kind of entertains the mammals with useful activities which makes them more feel at home.
Entrance to Loro Parque (non residents) costs about EU 30 for adults. Children 3-11 years EU 19. However, a small Loro park train such as found at other world tourist parks is included in the entrance price. Hot tip: Lets suppose that you have a large family and you want to save on Loro Park entrance. Look out for stationary shops or shops called estancos ... You will get tickets cheaper there.
Many special Tenerife touring buses by Thomas Cook Tours or Tui Tours as well as by others bring people to Loro Park from all over the island, as well.
The little Loro Park train provides its own kind of entertainment Tenerife.
It gives the Loro park visitor a leisure tour through town for about twenty minutes.
The train starts at the other end of Puerto de la Cruz in Calle Venezuela Plaza de los Reyes Catolicos near Lago or Lido Martianez which also provides popular Tenerife entertainment.
There should be more Tenerife town tours like that.
For instance, a public bus in the capital serves quite well for a city tour.
By the way, many European city tours or adventure travel have Loro Park entertaining on their agenda.
The owner of Loro Park sure knows how to promote his entertaining Tenerife business. Sometime last year, he allowed a German TV channel to use his park for the screening for part of a TV series.
That of course, proves, also, that Loro Park has ideal scenic surrounding and activities which make it a good back ground for television entertainment by Tenerife.
That it provides excellent focal points for photography which may be a very fun providing activity had been published recently in a German Tenerife magazine in connection with one of the best photographers of Nikon who recently took many shots there while also being interested in the park's amusements and shows as well as a biologist.
Did you know that besides all entertainment Tenerife management of the park always find time to grant provisional shelter for sea animals and occasionally others of the wild that are stranded around the Canary Islands as far as the West African coast? The moment they have recovered from their past shock they are released into the wild again after having received good care by the vets of the park. They of course, also, may sometimes provide additional park alternatives in an entertaining way.
