The Siam Park Night ticket is the entry that catches most visitors by surprise: for a few weeks each summer, Tenerife’s top water park reopens after the daytime crowds have gone home and runs a dedicated evening session called Siam Night. The slides get coloured up-lighting, music plays across the park, the Wave Palace fires off sets under a darkening sky, and the whole place takes on a relaxed, party-meets-pool-club feel. It is a genuinely different experience from a normal day at the park — and a separate ticket from the standard daytime entry.
What Siam Night Actually Is
Siam Night is a seasonal evening event, not a year-round option. It runs during the peak summer weeks — typically July and August — when daylight stretches late and the southern Tenerife evenings stay warm. The park closes its standard daytime operation, then reopens for the night session with a different atmosphere: DJ sets and music, illuminated landscaping and slides, and a crowd that comes as much for the vibe as for the rides.
Because it is an evening session, not every attraction runs. The headline thrill slides and the Wave Palace are the centrepiece, but the children’s zone (the Lost City) and some of the gentler family areas are usually closed for the night. If your priority is the kids’ splash areas, the night ticket is the wrong choice — go with a daytime entry ticket instead. If you want adrenaline rides with a fraction of the daytime queue, Siam Night is hard to beat.
Why People Choose the Night Ticket
Three reasons come up again and again in reviews. First, fewer crowds — the evening session draws a smaller, older crowd than a peak-August afternoon, so queues for the big slides are noticeably shorter. Second, the heat. Costa Adeje in midsummer can be punishing by midday; riding after sunset is simply more comfortable, with no sunburn to manage. Third, the atmosphere — the lights, the music, and the night-time Wave Palace sessions turn a water park into something closer to a night out.
The trade-off is time. A night session is shorter than a full park day, so you will not ride everything five times over. But for the rides that matter, the lighter queues often mean you get more laps in than you would fighting the afternoon crowds.
The Rides You Came For
Even at night, the park’s signature attractions are the draw. The Tower of Power — Siam Park’s 28-metre near-vertical drop that sends you through a transparent tube inside a shark-and-ray aquarium — is the most photographed slide in Europe, and it hits differently under the lights (note the firm 140 cm minimum height and that it runs its own separate queue, with no fast-track). The Wave Palace, the park’s giant wave pool, runs timed sets that feel even more dramatic after dark. The high-speed slides like Kinnaree and the tube rides round out the line-up.

Siam Night vs a Daytime Ticket
This is the decision most people are weighing. A standard daytime entry gives you the full park — every slide, the whole Lost City children’s area, and the longest possible day on site — but you share it with peak-summer crowds and full sun. The Siam Night ticket gives you the marquee rides and the Wave Palace in a cooler, livelier, less-crowded evening window, at the cost of a shorter session and some closed attractions.
If you want the maximum-everything day, including fast-track on the queues and a full lunch, the all-inclusive ticket is the upgrade. If you want the most atmospheric, lowest-hassle way to ride the headline slides in summer, the night ticket wins. Many summer visitors do both: a relaxed family day earlier in the trip, and a Siam Night session as an evening out.
Getting There and Practical Tips
Siam Park sits on Av. Siam in Costa Adeje, in the south of Tenerife, and is consistently named the world’s best water park in TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice awards. The free Siam Park shuttle runs from set bus stops around the main southern resorts — Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos — though it stops at designated points rather than individual hotels. If you are staying further away or want door-to-door pickup, see our tickets-with-transfer guide for the paid hotel-pickup options.
A few practical notes for the night session: bring a light layer for after you stop riding (you cool down fast once you are out of the water), check the exact Siam Night dates and hours before you travel since the season is short and weather-dependent, and arrive near opening to bank the most rides while queues are shortest. Your ticket is a mobile voucher with instant confirmation and free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so there is no risk in locking in a date early.
