Siam park are fast passes worth the money? And how do they work?

If you've already decided to visit Siam Park Tenerife, one of the biggest questions is whether the Siam Park Fast Pass is actually worth paying extra for. We visited during October half term with our 7-year-old son Joshua, and while the park never felt uncomfortably overcrowded, the queues for some of the most popular rides meant between 30 - 45 minutes of waiting in the heat. Because we were visiting during school holidays and didn't fancy spending large chunks of our day standing in line, we decided to buy Fast Passes.

Quick Answer: Is Siam Park Fast Pass Worth It During School Holidays?

For us, yes. If you're visiting during October half term, summer holidays or any other busy period, the Fast Pass can make a huge difference to your day. We spent much more time enjoying the rides and much less time standing in queues.

We chose the Fast Pass Limited, rather than the more expensive unlimited option. This gave us priority access to all of the major rides once, plus an additional ride on our favourite attraction. Because we arrived at opening, we were able to ride a few attractions with relatively short waits early in the morning before using our Fast Pass access late morning when queues became much longer.

In this review, I'll explain exactly how the Siam Park Fast Pass works, which version we chose and why, how much time it saved and whether I'd recommend it for families visiting Tenerife.

How Does Siam Park Fast Pass Work?

The Siam Park Fast Pass is designed to reduce queue times on some of the park's most popular rides, which can make a huge difference when visiting during busy periods such as October half term.

When we visited, there were two main options available:

• Fast Pass Limited – Allows you to use the Fast Pass entrance once on each participating attraction, plus an additional ride on your favourite attraction. This is the option we chose and, for most families, I think it's the best balance of cost and value. This pass cannot be pre booked, you have to purchase the pass on the day within the park.

• Fast Pass Unlimited – Allows unlimited use of the Fast Pass entrances on participating rides throughout the day. It's the more expensive option at 99 euros per person. This pass can be booked on line before your visit via Siam's Park website.

The standard Fast Pass was significantly cheaper than the Unlimited version. For our family, the standard option was enough because we only wanted to experience each major ride once or twice rather than repeatedly riding the same attractions all day.

One of the most important things to know is that the Fast Passe Limited is sold in limited numbers each day and is purchased inside the park, not in advance. Because of that, we headed straight to the Fast Pass sales point as soon as we entered Siam Park. Even arriving early, there was already a queue forming, which showed how popular they are during school holidays.

Once purchased, you're given a wristband that can be shown at the dedicated Fast Pass entrances, which are clearly signposted at participating rides.

How Much Are Siam Park Fast Passes in 2026?

When we visited, there were two Fast Pass options available:

• Siam Park Park Ticket + Fast Pass: is €38 per person + €38 euros for a fast pass purchased on site.

• Siam Park Fast Pass Unlimited: is €99 per person.

Where to Stay Near Siam Park

If visiting Siam Park Tenerife is one of the main reasons for your trip, I'd recommend staying in Costa Adeje, where you'll find many of the best hotels near Siam Park Tenerife. Being close to the park makes it much easier to arrive early, beat the queues and head back to your hotel when the children are tired.

During our stay, we chose Hotel Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife. While it isn't within walking distance of Siam Park, it worked well as a family base thanks to its fantastic pools, splash areas and entertainment programme. You can read our full experience in Hotel Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife Review With Kids.

For families prioritising Siam Park, I'd focus your search on Costa Adeje hotels near Siam Park, as this gives you easy access to the water park while still being close to beaches, restaurants and other family attractions

Which Rides Does Fast Pass Actually Help With?

This is where the Fast Pass made the biggest difference to our day.

When we arrived at Siam Park first thing in the morning, most of the rides had fairly manageable queues, around 10 - 15 minutes. Because of that, we didn't rush to use our Fast Pass straight away. Instead, we focused on enjoying the shorter lines and saving the Fast Pass for later when the park became busier.

That turned out to be the right decision.

By late morning, the queues for the most popular attractions had grown significantly. Rides such as Dragon, Singha, Vulcano, Kinnaree, Saifa and The Giant are some of the park's biggest crowd-pullers and naturally attract the longest waits once the park fills up. These are exactly the types of rides where the Fast Pass delivers the most value.

Rather than standing in line for 30, 45 or even 60 minutes at a time, we could use the Fast Pass entrance and get on the ride much faster. The benefit wasn't just saving time on a single attraction. Over the course of the day, those time savings add up. Instead of spending much of the afternoon queueing, we were able to experience more rides, spend time in the wave pool and generally enjoy a more relaxed day.

For families, that's where I think the real value lies. Children often have limited patience for long queues, particularly in the afternoon when they're tired and hungry. The Fast Pass helped us keep the day moving and reduced the amount of standing around waiting.

It's also worth knowing that Fast Pass doesn't cover every attraction. The most notable exclusion is Tower of Power, where everyone joins the same queue regardless of whether they have a Fast Pass. Because of this, I'd recommend heading there earlier in the day if it's high on your must-do list.

For us, the Fast Pass wasn't about skipping every queue in the park. It was about avoiding the worst queues on the busiest rides during the busiest part of the day, and in that respect it worked exactly as we hoped.

Was It Worth It for a Family?

For us, yes, the Fast Pass was absolutely worth it.

The biggest benefit was simply spending less time standing in queues and more time enjoying the park. When you're visiting Siam Park during October half term, long waits can quickly eat into your day. While adults might tolerate queueing for 45 minutes, children are often far less patient.

Travelling with a 7-year-old, we noticed a real difference. Instead of spending large parts of the day waiting around, Joshua was able to move between attractions, enjoy the rides he was most excited about and make the most of his time in the park. That helped keep the excitement levels high throughout the day.

The Fast Pass also gave us much more flexibility. We didn't feel under pressure to rush from one ride to another before the queues built up, and we had more time to enjoy other parts of Siam Park, including the wave pool, lazy river and splash areas.

What We Liked

The biggest advantage was simple: less queueing.

That meant:

• More rides throughout the day, we got on most of the big rides at least once but some 2 - 3 times

• Less time standing around waiting, at least a couple of hours saved

• Less boredom and frustration

• Fewer complaints from a tired child

• Greater flexibility to explore the rest of the park

• More time enjoying attractions rather than planning around queues

For our family, that made a noticeable difference. Joshua was far happier moving between rides than standing in long lines wondering when the next attraction would start.

What We Didn't Like

The Fast Pass definitely isn't perfect.

The biggest downside is the extra cost. At €38 per person on top of the normal park ticket, it can add up quickly for families.

There are also limited numbers available each day, so arriving late can mean missing out completely. This creates some pressure to be near the front of the queue when the park opens.

Finally, it's worth managing expectations. Fast Pass doesn't mean instant access. You'll still wait occasionally, around 5 - 10 minutes, particularly on the most popular rides. The queues are simply much shorter than the standard lines.

Would We Buy Fast Pass Again?

Without hesitation, yes. If we returned to Siam Park during October half term or another busy school holiday, we'd buy exactly the same Fast Pass again.

We never felt we needed the Unlimited version, and the standard Fast Pass gave us enough priority access to significantly improve the day without paying for the most expensive option.

For our family, it wasn't about avoiding every queue. It was about spending more time enjoying the rides and less time standing in line, and on that basis alone it was money well spent.

Who Should Buy Siam Park Fast Pass?

In my opinion, the Siam Park Fast Pass makes the most sense for families who are visiting during busy periods and want to experience as many of the major rides as possible without spending a large part of the day standing in queues.

I'd recommend it for:

• Families visiting during school holidays, including October half term and the summer holidays

• One-day visitors who only have a single opportunity to experience Siam Park

• Families with younger children who quickly become bored or frustrated waiting in long queues

• Visitors determined to ride all of Siam Park's biggest attractions

• Families with limited time in Tenerife who want to maximise their day at the park

• Anyone prepared to pay a little extra in exchange for a much smoother experience

For us, travelling with a 7-year-old, the Fast Pass significantly improved the day. Instead of spending much of our time queueing, we were able to experience more rides, take breaks when we wanted and enjoy the wave pool and other attractions without feeling rushed.

Who Probably Doesn't Need It?

While we'd buy the Fast Pass again during school holidays, I don't think it's essential for everyone.

You may not need it if:

• You're visiting during quieter periods outside peak school holiday dates

• You're planning multiple visits to Siam Park during your holiday

• Your children are mainly interested in Lost City, Coco Beach and the younger children's attractions

• You don't mind waiting in queues

• You're happy to focus on a smaller number of rides during the day

• You're travelling on a tighter budget and would rather put the money towards another excursion

If you're visiting on a quieter day and arrive before opening, you can still experience a lot of the park without paying extra. However, during October half term, we found the Fast Pass offered enough value that we'd happily buy it again.

Tips for Visiting Siam Park During School Holidays

If you're visiting during October half term, these are the things I'd do differently if I went again:

• Arrive before opening

• Buy Fast Passes immediately after entering

• Head to the major rides first

• Use the standard queues in the morning if they're short

• Spend quieter periods enjoying children's attractions and the wave pool

Final Verdict: Is Siam Park Fast Pass Worth the Money?

For us, yes. At around €38 extra per person, the Fast Pass certainly isn't a cheap add-on, especially for a family. However, after using it during October half term, we felt it noticeably improved our day at Siam Park.

The biggest benefit wasn't simply skipping queues. It was how much more we were able to fit into the day. Instead of spending large chunks of the afternoon standing in line, we were riding attractions, relaxing in the wave pool and making the most of everything else the park has to offer.

Travelling with a 7-year-old also influenced our view. Children only have so much patience for queueing, particularly in the heat. The Fast Pass kept the day moving, reduced complaints and helped maintain the excitement that made Siam Park such a highlight of our Tenerife holiday.

Would we buy it again? Absolutely.

If we visited Siam Park during October half term, the summer holidays or any other busy period, we'd purchase the same Fast Pass again without hesitation. We never felt the need for the Unlimited version, but the standard Fast Pass gave us enough priority access to make a significant difference to our experience.

Is it essential? No.

You can still have a fantastic day at Siam Park without one, especially if you arrive early and plan your route carefully. But if your goal is to maximise your time, experience more rides and spend less of the day standing in queues, it was one of the most worthwhile extras we purchased in Tenerife.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy Siam Park Fast Pass Limited before arriving at the park?

No. The Fast Passe Limited is purchased inside Siam Park on the day of your visit. Because numbers are limited, it's worth heading to the Fast Pass sales point as soon as you enter the park if you're visiting during a busy period.

Fast Pass Unlimited can be purchased ahead of your visit via Siam Parks website.

How Much Are Siam Park Fast Passes in 2026?

There are two Fast Pass options available:

• Siam Park Fast Pass: approximately €38 per person. This version allows priority access to participating rides but is not pre-bookable. You must purchase it inside the park on the day of your visit, and availability is limited.

• Siam Park Fast Pass Unlimited: approximately €99 per person. This allows unlimited use of the Fast Pass entrances on participating rides and can be booked in advance through the Siam Park website.

For most families, I think the standard Fast Pass offers the better balance between cost and value. It gave us enough priority access to dramatically reduce our queue times without paying for the much more expensive Unlimited option.

The key thing to remember is that standard Fast Passes can sell out during busy periods such as October half term and the summer holidays, so if you're planning to buy one, head to the Fast Pass sales point as soon as you enter the park.

Does Siam Park Fast Pass include every ride?

No. Some attractions are excluded, including Tower of Power. It's worth checking the current list of participating rides before you buy so you know exactly what is covered.

Is Fast Pass worth it during October half term?

In our experience, yes. October half term was busy enough that queue times on the most popular rides built up significantly throughout the day. The Fast Pass helped us experience more attractions and made the day feel much more relaxed.

Which Fast Pass option should families choose?

For most families, I think the standard Fast Pass Limited offers the best balance between cost and value. We never felt we needed unlimited access, and the standard option was enough to dramatically reduce our waiting time.

Should families buy Fast Pass or arrive early?

Ideally, both. Arriving early helps you enjoy some of the most popular rides before queues build, while the Fast Pass becomes most useful later in the day when crowd levels increase. We found combining the two gave us the best overall experience.
