Tenerife attractions mean sightseeing and entertainment for foreigners as well as for residents on Tenerife Island.
Entertainment attractions:Lets look at Loro Park which must be tourism's pet of outdoor entertainment of all of them. Learn about some animals at this unusual zoo... There, you surely get the biggest thrill, while watching a water spectacle with orcas or dolphins. Even some of the elderly find that better than circus entertainment.
A different spot with attraction is Lago Lido Martianez. A European Tenerife attraction with a difference is Siam Park in south Tenerife. There, practice surfing in a big pool with artificial waves in an enticing oriental Thai setting. Interactive zoo Tenerife:Aguilas Jungle Park by Los Christianos with its 27000 square meters of ground is more like an interactive zoo. Of course, this contributes to Tenerife attractions. People can enter enclosures to feed spider monkeys and friendly birds, for example. However, I doubt that tourists may be allowed dangerous animal contact at Aguila Park Tenerife. Feeding a Siberian Tiger at this park would mean pushing people safety to the limit. It would endanger human lives at www.aguilasjunglepark.com. Attractions for ears and eyes:

However, fiestas fireworks attractions with wind still skies can result in entertainment Tenerife fireworks accidents. Tenerife amusement park with carousels:
Somebody from south Tenerife said that Tenerife has no amusement park, such as found by UK beaches. This is not true. Puerto de la Cruz has one with carousels, shootings stands and much more.

But, whenever I was there, this small park was packed with people. They spent money to enjoy its Tenerife attractions. Then, it is hard to find parking space on the big parking lot, behind it.

Afterwards, you are given a taste of Banana liquor which you can buy also all over town. By the way, Banana tree trunks, whose fruit have been harvested, are always chopped down. The infertile parts should then be dug up. Farming bananas is a lot of work. I know because, I had many in my garden in Durban and knew banana farmers, too. Tourists are mesmerized hearing, what is involved with the show farm. Bananas called platanos in Spanish are cheaper in the north, where they don't only receive more rain but also moisture from the air. They need lots of water and sun.
Learn something in the context of the Tenerife business of bananas La Bananera El Guanche...I buy good, amazing small bananas in Tenerife for 90 Cents per kg. Mind, they are not finger bananas which are the very best. Tenerife does not grow them. By the way, the photo portrayed with a teaspoon on your right is not giving you my most attractive local bananas, as I still need to edit them. Anyway, I purchase from a little fruit shop in Puerto de la Cruz by Playa Jardin or get them very cheap at Carmen's grocery treasure shop in La Longuera. You can get bananas at La Bananera packed for taking onto your plane. You can also order such packages at most Tenerife Hotels. However, I doubt that they give you the more tasty small version of Tenerife bananas. It normally doesn't attract tourists, as they don't know, how good tiny bananas are. Admire the photo of a very enticing banana farm on the top of page Self catering Tenerife apartments...
