About the attraction
Book this if you want a guide to explain the site rather than simply walking the grounds independently. The guided portion covers the museum, panoramic terrace, auditorium, Thor Heyerdahl exhibition, Expeditions Room and documentary. It is the most informative option for visitors who want context, while basic admission suits a self-guided visit and Premium admission adds further park areas and exhibitions.
Who is it for
Best for travellers interested in Tenerife history, archaeology, ethnography, Thor Heyerdahl, unusual cultural attractions and botanical gardens. It is also a good choice for visitors who prefer a structured first hour with a guide before exploring independently. The current experience is wheelchair accessible, and the official park provides adapted itineraries for visitors with reduced mobility. Families with older children who enjoy museums and stories about exploration may also get more from the guided format than from a basic self-guided ticket.
Who should skip it
Choose the cheaper basic entry ticket if you are happy to explore independently and do not need a live guide. Choose the Premium Ticket instead if the Poison Garden and the Colonizing Polynesia / Rapa Nui exhibition are priorities, because those two areas are explicitly excluded from this guided-tour ticket. The guided visit is also not ideal if you want complete schedule flexibility, as this experience currently has a fixed 10:30 start. Food and drinks are not included.
