Fun day out. Cost 3 euro by taxi to reach there from the casino. Taxis are cheap. 22 euro for adult admission to the park. Exhibitions start from 11 am and include parrot, eagle and sea lion. They take photos of you with the animals and you can choose to buy at the end for 5 euro each. They are really great quality pictures. Really great fun day out! They have a free splash area and pool with sun loungers...and also funnel water slides. You can pay 2 euro for kayak and pony ride. Lots of animals and reptiles to see around the park. read more

Visited Rancho Texas recently with two adults and one toddler - we all had a blast! This seems like a really under-rated attraction - I didn't see much advertising for it but it was great value for money. 22 Euros for adult entry, including the water park, which was ace. The bird of prey show was really engaging, and the facilities are fantastic. Food was good value and good quality (delicious pizza!). The water park, when we were there, was busy, but not overly so, so there were plenty of sunloungers and no queue for the slides. Definitely recommend it, especially if you have kids in tow. read more

Went here on a recommendation from one of the waiters in the hotel (usually the best source of good days out I find) and it was - obscure. I was really intrigued as to why a wild west theme in Lanzarote and was suprised to learn that actually alot of the descendants of Lanzarote stem from the 'Wild West' and ancestors of the locals fought and died in the 'Battle of the Alamo'. Enough history. Said waiter had children and thought my little boy (then aged 3) would enjoy the park. It was I have to say an interesting and enjoyable day - but probably this was much more down to the weather, beautiful landscape and the sheer efforts of the staff than any of the amenities on offer. I love the people of Lanzarote - I really do - they love life and are full of a child-like exuberance about everything that sadly we seem to lack alot in the UK. They really did make our day- every person who worked at that Park from the ice cream sellers to the animal keepers, down to the toilet cleaners, smiled constantly. The thing is they actually seemed to enjoy the job they were doing - and it really made a difference. Plus every single one of them took the time to speak to my son - which made him feel very special indeed. The park is mainly a petting zoo to all intents and purposes and has various inhabitants ranging from lizards, to snakes, to small mammals. There is nothing majorly unusual in the exhibits and they have very little in the way of commercial rides or interactive exhibits, its all pretty basic. They seem to specialise in birds, and one of the very well executed displays was a falconry show - where the birds swooped really low over you head. There were also can can dancing and other 'wild west' themed cabaret type shows throughout the day and an impressive lassoo exhibition. Anyone wanting the latest technology and high octane rides should avoid this place like the plague. If you have small children who love animals this is an nice, friendly and laid back day. Also for anyone who played 'Cowboys and Indians' as a child this would be a good excuse for a trip down memory lane. read more

Childrens Play Nets, Biosfera Shopping Centre

Located at the top of Biosfera shopping centre, this is a good place to come for kids when the sun…read moreis not shining. But be aware you cannot just dump the kids and run while you shop, since your little treasures need to be watched whilst they play. Cost for kids over 5 years is EUR4 per hour, and while I was there saw three little ones venture in get lost and freak out! So if yours are small it's best to follow the age guidelines.

From the owner: Un verdadero oasis con 3000 animales y un jardín botánico único en Europa…read more En amplios recintos se encuentran animales de la sabana africana en medio de vegetación tropical, ¡un genuino ambiente africano en Fuerteventura! El precio de entrada incluye 4 shows con animales: aves rapaces, leones marinos, papagayos y reptiles. Como experiencia inolvidable, es posible nadar con los leones marinos. También es única la interacción con los lémures, a los que podrá darles de comer. Un safari de camellos conduce hasta un mirador sobre el mar. Otra opción es un paseo dentro del zoológico, que le lleva hasta el recinto de los elefantes. En el jardín botánico puede conocer plantas de todo el mundo. Destaca el área de cactus y suculentas, la colección de palmeras y la zona de plantas autóctonas de Fuerteventura. Disponemos de tres restaurantes con una rica variedad de platos preparados con productos regionales y con frutas y verduras de nuestro propio cultivo ecológico. Al final del día recordará un lugar en el que se trata bien a los animales, donde las personas pueden establecer un verdadero contacto con ellos. Donde hay proyectos de investigación, como el estudio sobre las prometedoras propiedades alimenticias de la leche de camella y proyectos de protección de especies amenazadas. Donde podemos aprender: ¡los animales tienen alma!

This park engages in blatant animal cruelty. During the bird show, I witnessed a disturbing incident: after performing, one of the birds was aggressively grabbed by the neck by the handler. The bird's wings flapped frantically as it was forcibly restrained. This is not standard handling -- it is a display of dominance and control through fear and pain. Birds are highly sensitive creatures, and such treatment can cause extreme stress, injury, and long-term trauma. If this is what they do in front of an audience, I can't imagine what happens behind the scenes. I would strongly discourage anyone who cares about animals from supporting this facility. read more

this place should be looked into by law enforcement seriously. the way this place treats their animals is cruel and sickening and make your skin crawl to even think that they're still there right now as we speak. theres no reason workers should toss around their animals like toys or ragdolls or hit them like some punching bag. its disgusting and you can tell its been going on for a while the way they do it infront of customers. theres also proof from a user on tiktok with video evidence of the abuse. its sickening. @yourawhorexo for the video thank you to her for bringing awareness with that video aswell. read more

If I could leave zero stars or -5 stars, I would. There is no reason why this place should still be open the way they treat their animals is cruel. They treat the animals the way they do in public and I hope the person who treats these animals cruel never works another day in their life. I hope this zoo shuts down and I hope all the animals are able to go free. You are a piece of sh** zoo and I hope nothing but the worst for you. read more

There is a viral video of a male bird handler abusing one of their birds and they have yet to address it. I can imagine very few people who would condone animal abuse and to make matters worse they have done nothing to address the issue. I hope someone reports this to their local govt. despicable behavior, and i will be telling everyone i know to refrain from visiting. And if they see this i hope rot in hell. read more

They abuse their animals here! They have not made any statement on whether the employee was fired or not. Please do not spend money on a place that mistreats these animals. These animals should be protected, not abused to perform for a group of people for entertainment... read more

There is currently a viral video making the rounds of one of their Bird handlers grossly mistreating a bird. Once I know he no longer works there I'll stop making it my mission to slander this place on every avenue imaginable. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rXF9XC/ read more

There is a video of a handler abusing one of the birds that is known. Hoping that a throughout investigation is conducted and those responsible are handled accordingly. Until then it should be of no one's concern to support an abusive business. read more
