Having a good time with your kids while they learn about nature is a pretty fun and easy plan that you can do without any problem. Here we prepare a list of the best farms to go with kids in Tenerife.
Introducing the little ones of the family to nature and other living creatures can be a step filled with fun and knowledge. Studies made by the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States of America, show that the presence and relation of kids with animals does not only create a fun environment for the kids, but also helps them to deal better with human interactions, feel more empathy and to, in some cases, deal better with anxiety. The most common relation between kids and animals is by having pets like dogs and cats; but it is quite interesting to introduce them to other types of animals, that’s why we have prepared a list of farms to go with kids in Tenerife.
Tenerife is not only the ideal place to enjoy a time of sunbathing and going to incredible beaches; it also has a huge diversity of nature that allows a place for very exotic animals to live in. From whales to camels, this amazing island has the best spaces to make your kids connect with nature, animals and for them to learn more about the world that surrounds them.

This farm allows the visitors to meet freely all the spaces they have, and they do some pretty unique activities like riding a pony or milking a goat.
