This theme park may have snapped up a prime spot on Tenerife’s coast, but step through the gates and you’ll feel like you’ve teleported east. Thai-themed Siam Park is full of fast-paced rides, like the Tower of Power, Dragon, and the Mekong Rapids. There’s plenty for the coaster-shy, too, including a floating market and lots of restaurants. You’ve even got areas reserved just for little ones, like slide-filled Sawasdee.
Think theme park, think Disney – Walt Disney World Resort is the world’s most popular. It boasts a grand total of four theme parks – Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as a duo of waterparks – Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. Magic Kingdom Park is the most visited park in the world with an impressive attendance figure of over 20 million in 2017 alone. And it’s no wonder it’s so popular, considering its all-star line-up of family-friendly rides, huge daily parades, and nightly firework displays. Meanwhile, you can go on an around-the-globe trip with Epcot’s World Showcase, and immerse yourselves in your fave films – like Toy Story and Star Wars – at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
