family entertainment / recommended places to visit
Aqualand Aquasur- Maspalomas (approx 15 kms)
A fantastic water park where you are sure to get wet! Try out the kamakaze, foam, and slower lazy river type slides and rides and enjoy the thrills and spills of the wave machines.
Sioux City, Canon del Aguila - San Augustin (approx 20 kms)
If you feel like playing at being a cowboy or cowgirl, then head for where you can watch bank robbers, horses and Can Can girls perform their routines at Sioux City. The Sheriff does his rounds so be careful you don't get caught out by him! There are rodeos with shows that take place throughout the day. On a Friday evening there is country dancing also so if you feel like some toe tapping.
Crocodile park- Villa de Aguimes (approx 40 kms)
Here you get to meet crocodile's and many other animals, all of whom have been rescued and housed in this refuge. There are also some zebras and chimps for you to see. It is a worthy cause as any money raised in entrance fees goes towards keeping the shelter open. Feeding time is well worth seeing.
Reptilandia -Agaete (approx 100 kms)
As the name would suggest if you like seeing reptiles then this is the place for you. There are plenty of snakes of all descriptions and species, as well as tortoises, turtles and lizards including the magnificent Komodo Dragon! You can also see some spiders and monkeys.
Ride a camel - Maspalomas (approx 15 kms)

Jeep Safari - Maspalomas (approx 15 kms)
The mountain range of the interior of the island, Mount Tejeda is magnificent and the best way to explore this area is by jeep. You will be taken on a thrilling journey through peaks, forests and valleys to see some of the stunning views and natural flora and fauna.
