The only zoo in the Canaries with hippos and elephants
What really sets the park apart from other sites in the archipelago: Oasis Park Fuerteventura is the only zoo in the Canaries to keep African hippos and elephants, alongside other iconic savannah animals. Reason enough to make it a stand-out stop on a nature-focused trip.
What to see: savannah, camels and botanical garden
The park is laid out in several distinct zones, free to explore at your own pace over the day.
Shows and experiences
Four shows punctuate the day: sea lions, parrots, crocodiles and birds of prey. For visitors wanting more, the sea lion experience offers about twenty minutes up close with them, on top of the standard entry ticket — one of the family activities worth pairing with the rest of the island.
