Watch Out For
⚠️Teide National Park
Tenerife scores 68/100 on our stroller-friendliness scale. Below you'll find a full breakdown of terrain, transit accessibility, and family facilities — plus neighborhood-level tips and stroller vs. carrier advice for Tenerife.
📋 The Bottom Line
Tenerife is a fantastic family destination with excellent stroller-friendly areas along the coast. The resort areas of Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, and Puerto de la Cruz have flat promenades and modern infrastructure. The challenge is the volcanic interior - steep mountain roads and hiking trails that aren't suitable for strollers. Spanish/Canarian culture absolutely adores children, and family facilities are outstanding in the resort areas. The year-round spring weather is perfect for families.
