Nice attraction.
I confirm, it's expensive for what it is. 12.50 euros or 18 euros for the set.
It's not the attraction of the century. More of a curiosity.
It's not the first thing to do on the island. There are many other things to do

Only the film about the various pyramids around the world was excellent, the rest is forgettable. But the film alone made up for it

Positive points: well maintained.
Friendly pyramids.
Cute chickens.
Negative points: way too expensive and not very interesting.
Exhibitions having neither tail nor head, with no concrete link between them.
Exhibition bordering on the ridiculous "the sea of plastic" made of ugly plastic panels.
The "sensory trail", a path where we are supposed to take off our shoes to walk on 50cm square of straw...
The “poisonous garden” where we chose not to pay the already excessive addition to the basic ticket to access it.
Well-maintained setting but with basic plants that you can see everywhere on the island.

We were disappointed, tourist trap, the little museum is nice, the garden is abandoned perhaps due to the drought and the animals that colonize them

If you like history Then This is truly for you. I guess it could be a bit boring if not but there is audioguide so you dont have to read. I liked it a lot and of course there is the pyramides itself.

I accidentally bought the single ticket and couldn't enter the poisonous garden, but the truth is that what I saw was still great, well maintained and with quite beautiful mountain landscapes.

After reading the comments on this website about the
Pyramids of Güímar left for this tourist attraction with mixed feelings. For those staying on the island side of Tenerife Sur Arona Airport, it is an hour's drive via the TF 1 to get there. In the end, our visit was not too bad. I personally think the criticism about this tourist attraction is unjustified. I will not comment on whether the pyramids are real or are a copy of the terraces that can also be seen on the mountains. We opted for the cheapest ticket and, in addition to the pyramids, also saw the history of how everything started in an exhibition. The explorers who explored, the various types of pyramids that exist and the places where they can be found and a film screening can also be attended four times a day. We also had access to the botanical garden and the exhibition on plastic problems in the world such as illegal waste on land and in the sea. We spent a good 3 hours on site and paid 12.50 euros per person. We even received a Dutch-language welcome brochure, which was certainly a plus. It was rather calm on the site itself. Not many visitors present. Going to the toilet is free, but you may meet a Salamander or a Gecko in the toilet :-). I can recommend this tourist attraction to anyone visiting Tenerife. Especially considering the fair price, because many sights are a lot more expensive on Tenerife. At the entrance, which is also the exit, there is also a cafeteria where you can drink and eat something. There is also a museum shop at the exit with souvenirs and gifts, all of which are, in my opinion, well priced... Free parking is provided in front of the museum. But there is also plenty of free parking on the one-way street that runs towards the museum.

Good disabled access, pleasant staff. Interesting historically. Plenty of room to get around and not too busy.

We rented a car for our trip and headed out to see some pyramids! We took our 3 your old and he was all hot and bothered half way round so we didn’t see a lot of it but what we did see was fab!
There’s loads of history there and the actual structures themselves are amazing to see! I’ve never seen any other pyramids before so it was a great experience. We had a wonder around the poison garden and that was quite interesting. There was a hydrangea there which was peculiar to see.
There’s little museum bits to walk through and they came in handy with the heat and the sun as a good place to get out of it for a little bit.
Pretty cute cafe next door. Pretty cheap and looked like they did some lovely food however we just stopped for drinks. Will definitely come back when our little one is older.

We were both looking forward to seeing the Piramides, unfortunately our experience didn't match our expectation. Lots of supposition and what could have been.....
It's a lovely garden and some of the plants are really interesting. (Never seen cochineal mites before) Didn't appreciate that side of it. Honestly though, save yourself the entrance money and look though the fence. You can't get up close to the pyramids anyway.
Lots of hens, cockerels and chicks in the area too.
