Comments of Ciao España are proof that you will not get bored with entertainment Tenerife at Loro Parque.
Penguins are like clowns.
Once inside the aquarium building you will meet up with penguins in 2 glassed-in enclosures.
There, the more than 200 funny black and white birds are happy fellows on 12000 kg of genuine ice. Real snow flakes are showering them, from time to time. Also, some of them had babies not long ago.
They are indeed entertaining clowns by the way they stalk around like dressed up in tuxedos and, by the comical manner in which they behave.
Less thrilling amusement and spooky show:
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.

Everybody who likes thrills with animals
The elderly who were fond of the circus.
People who work with animals in show business
Watch this breath taking Tenerife spectacle with dolphin stunts in fresh air surrounded by palm trees, Dresinas and rock..
Look at the picture... See how high they jump over the rope above water...
If there were Olympic Games for dolphins in stunt shows, they might fetch a medal.
Look at this photo Loro Park show where a skilled performer stands on top of a swimming dolphin!
To do this would be risky with Loro Park's Orcas, in my mind.
However, the orcas show is worth every penny to watch from so close.
Is entertainment Tenerife worth risking human life?
There was a bit of an accident, in 2007.
One of the Orcas hit a trainer girl with its mighty fin by accident. She broke an arm in the process. It is said that the orca brought her up to the surface after the incident. That would be normal behavior of orcas during entertainment training.
You see, entertainment Tenerife can come at a price for its trainers who are also the stuntmen at Loro Park.
Human contact orca shows Tenerife suspended:
A deadly, unfortunate accident happened on 24th of December 2009. The eldest, 14 year old show Orca called Kito caused death to its trainer. By the looks of it, its play suddenly turned rough, while Kito was trained for fun stunts. Alexis was knocked hard. The orca submerged and left him on the bottom of the 12m deep basin. There, its trainer for Loro Park fun drowned without broken limbs or bite marks. There is no proof that the young Alexis Martianez Hernandez from Los Realejos had pushed entertaining criteria to its limits just before the fatal moment. By the way, he had been employed on the spectacle Loro Park scene since 2004, but had only worked to create fun with killer whales since 2007. Anyway, the park's management announced that orca shows will go on. But no more trainer show artists allowed in the water from now on...
Entertainment Tenerife food stalls at Loro Park:
8 Restaurants and bistros for different appetites and budgets are available to entertain stomach and taste buds. And the stalls are positioned to view entertaining scenes all around them.
Loro Park gorillas:
In my mind, much amusement in Tenerife is also provided by those powerful mammals - when they perform all by themselves.
They are a group of males only.
Why only males?
Females would cause fights.
The leader which is the biggest is pulling off his own peculiar attraction stunts, at times.
Loro Park sharing his entertainment and experiences:
Every year, the park which is famous for the world's biggest collection and preservation of parrots, invites overseas students for practical studies and veterinary education, such as the 2 Loro Park students from a German university, who are depicted beside.'Students are normally full of praise for the park's Tenerife entertainment, concern for the environment and love of ecology', they said. I met them over Christmas in 2008.
This attraction presents some of them in a very sweet educational way besides proper parrot shows. A vet talks to some of the birds and explains what special treatment they get for all kinds of reasons. It's all done in a very amusing fashion. Also, the Loros can now be admired in a huge enclosure with tropical plants, while they don't perform on stage.
Behind the curtain tour show:
Also, do the Loro Park tour behind the scenes called Discovery tour...
You'll learn funny things like how the gorillas make their own beds with palm and banana leaves at night in their indoor sleeping quarters. It entertains the mammals with useful activities which makes them feel at home more.
Price of discovery tour:
It's engraved in my mind as the tour behind the scenes or curtains because, it's so much fun.
Price: €9 for adults and 6 alternatively for kids over 3 years of age.
The price of main Loro Park entertainment Tenerife:
A small Loro park train is included in the entrance price just like all shows, except for the discovery tour.
Entrance for non residents to Loro Park entertainment kingdom costs about €31 for adult non residents and for residents €19. children €12,50 Annual cards at much reduced prices are also available.
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 a little cheaper there.
Book your Loro Park thrills beforehand:
But, when on short holiday, while what is short is the big question, rather book Loro Park, beforehand...
You sure wouldn't want to miss out on this spectacular entertainment Tenerife.
The cute Loro train for fun rides:
The little Loro Park train provides Tenerife transport entertainment.
It gives the Loro park visitor a free leisure tour through town for about twenty minutes, twice.
The train can also be taken in Calle Venezuela Plaza de los Reyes Catolicos near Lago or Lido Martianez which also provides popular Tenerife fun.
Entertainment Tenerife Loro Park Halloween:
Off recently, Loro Park introduced surprising Halloween treats for some of its animals. This means new shows with simple, little details where some unusual food is presented to them once a year. Last not least, the Loro Park animals and visitors may share in Halloween fun, such as in other Tenerife events on that special day.
Always new excitement at the Puerto de la Cruz Zoo:
In the future you might find a truly entertaining, temporary addition at Loro Park. Its speckled Jaguar aged 13 looks like having fallen in love with a 9 year younger black cat of the same species. Expect lovely genuine entertainment Tenerife in 2010 by a happy Jaguar family... Animals of the cat gender like jaguars too, are so exhilarating to contemplate when they are very young.
Loro Park for TV, video and camera fun:
Sometime last year, a German television channel used the Tenerife park of the parrots (loros) for TV entertainment.
The park's many focal points are fun to capture on lens for every amateur as well as professional photo hunter. This was published in a German Tenerife magazine in connection with one of best photographers of camera brand Nikon. The man who is also biologist, recently, took many shots there while also being interested in Loro Park's amusements and shows.
History of entertainment Loro Park
Loro Park, apparently started off with only some parrots on display, way back in 1972, when my buddy Guenther came first to the island.He says that kind of a humble shelter, where one could see them looked rather lost on a relatively huge terrain. Entertainment Tenerife of the park of the Loros has gone a long way since then and its space has more than quadrupled.
Watch this exhilarating video, an entertainment Tenerife Loro park show!
A fact is that Loro Park gives the most popular entertainment performances for Tenerife where visitors also come from other Canary Islands to enjoy them.
