Oasis Park, Fuerteventura's Only Zoo and Botanical Garden
By Jérôme R · Visited in July 2023 and July 2025, completed with our research · Updated · How we work
Oasis Park Fuerteventura is the island's only wildlife and botanical park, ideal for a family day out — one of the must-do activities covered on our pillar page, Things to do in Fuerteventura. Set in La Lajita, on the island's south-east coast, it combines African savannah animals, a cactus garden and shows — enough to fill a good part of the day.
In a nutshell
- The only zoo in the Canaries with African hippos and elephants.
- Open every day, 9am to 6pm (confirm seasonal hours).
- Entry: €41.50 per adult, reduced rates for children, seniors and residents.
- Four shows (sea lions, parrots, crocodiles, birds of prey), plus an optional sea lion experience.
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.
For autumn 2026 the park announces a few additions, worth flagging with the caveat that the information so far comes only from Oasis Park itself and no precise dates have been given. Two female cheetahs, Siv and Ruth, are said to have joined the park as part of a conservation programme for the species. The park also points to two new ways of getting around the site: an "ecotour" route, and a higher-capacity train serving the upper sections, from where you look out over the whole park. If any of these is the reason you are going, it is worth confirming with the park that it is running on the day of your visit.
Prices, opening hours and practical tips
The park is open every day, 9am to 6pm.
