Exploring Aquapark Costa Teguise: Family Fun in Lanzarote
If you’re heading to Lanzarote and looking for a day of water-based excitement, the Aquapark Costa Teguise offers a solid option for families, groups of friends, or anyone wanting a splash of thrill. Located on Avenida del Golf in Arrecife, this sprawling water park covers more than 22,000 square meters — making it the largest in Lanzarote. For around $33.08 per person, you’re guaranteed access between 10 am and 6 pm, with the added convenience of optional pickup, which can save you some hassle on busy days.
What we love about this experience is the variety of attractions. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline on Europe’s biggest and most daring slides like the Kamikaze and Whirlwind, or relaxing in the jacuzzi, there’s something for all. Plus, the indoor paintball arena and electric car obstacle course add unique options for those who prefer non-water fun. However, it’s worth noting that for those with very young children or seeking a more extensive theme park experience, the reviews suggest it might not match larger parks like Siam Park.
This experience is perfect for families with children aged 4 to 15 years who want a balanced mix of thrill and chill. If you’re traveling with younger kids (under 1.2m), it’s good to know some rides might have height restrictions. Overall, if you’re after short queues and a variety of rides, this will likely meet your expectations, but keep in mind it’s not as large or elaborate as some other parks.

A Closer Look at the Experience
The Location and Access
The park’s location on Avenida del Golf makes it easily reachable by car and near public transportation. Opening at 10 am, it makes for a relaxed start to your day. The ticketing process is straightforward — once you exchange your voucher, you’re free to explore the park at your own pace.
Rides and Attractions
The highlight rides are undeniably the Kamikaze and Whirlwind, which offer head-first rushes down twisting slides that thrill-seekers will love. One review describes these as “pure-adrenaline attractions only for the bravest.” If you prefer something less intense, the Hydro Tube offers a memorable but less extreme experience.
For families with smaller children, the park features a child-sized Kamikaze, small slides, looping attractions, and a kids’ lagoon, providing a safe space for the little ones. One visitor notes, “Good day out for the kids. Recommend for children 4-15 years,” highlighting that it’s well suited for that age range.
Relaxation and Alternative Activities
After lunging down a few slides, many visitors enjoy unwinding in the jacuzzi or taking a break in the park’s various pools. The indoor paintball arena and electric obstacle course present options to switch gears — perfect if some members of the group want to stay dry or try something different.
Food, Refreshments, and Practicalities
Food and drinks are not included with your ticket, but the park has several bars and restaurants where prices are generally reasonable. One reviewer mentioned that although the website states outside food isn’t permitted, “no-one checked pir bags coming in,” which might be a perk for spontaneous snacks.
Lockers are available, but the park isn’t responsible for lost items — so using a locker is highly recommended if you’re storing valuables.
The Overall Value
While the price point is reasonable, some guests feel the park is smaller and less varied than other nearby options like Siam Park. One reviewer comments, “To small, well too expensive for that small aqua park,” indicating that if you’re expecting a massive water adventure, this might fall short. However, others appreciated the short queues and variety of rides, making it a good choice for a relaxed, fun-packed day.
Common Positives & Negatives from Reviews
People rave about short wait times and good safety measures, especially for children. “No queues and good mix of rides,” says one reviewer. Conversely, some found the park less impressive if they expected a larger-scale experience, with one noting they only stayed about an hour and a half for nearly €50.
Who’s This Tour Best For?
This day at Aquapark Costa Teguise suits families with children who want a balanced mix of thrills and relaxation without the huge crowds or high prices of larger parks. It’s also ideal if you’re looking for short wait times and a diverse selection of attractions. However, if you’re after intense rides or a sprawling water theme park, you might want to consider other options.
Travelers who enjoy quick visits or want to combine water fun with other Lanzarote sights could find this a good, budget-friendly choice. Just be prepared for the park’s size and remember that food and souvenirs will be extras.
The Sum Up: Is It Worth It?
Overall, Aquapark Costa Teguise offers a decent day of water-based fun for families and casual visitors. With short queues, a variety of rides, and affordable tickets, it gives you a playful break from sightseeing, especially if your group includes young kids. The park’s relaxing options, like the jacuzzi, help balance the adrenaline rush, making it a well-rounded outing.
If you’re seeking a large, elaborate water park with extensive rides, this might not fully satisfy. But for value, convenience, and family-friendly attractions, it’s a practical choice that can fit into most Lanzarote itineraries.
For those who want something relaxed, quick, and fun, especially with kids in tow, this could be just the thing. Just keep expectations aligned — it’s a small but lively park rather than a sprawling water adventure.
