Rancho Texas Lanzarote park, Theme park and animal sanctuary in Puerto del Carmen, Spain
Rancho Texas Lanzarote is a combination amusement and animal park in Puerto del Carmen that features water rides, pools, slides, and habitats for different species. Dolphins, sea lions, and various birds occupy separate sections throughout the grounds.
The park originated in the 1990s as a small Wild West-themed attraction and gradually expanded into a larger facility. It has become the largest animal and entertainment complex across the Canary Islands.
The shows feature western-themed entertainment with dolphins and birds, where visitors observe trainers working directly with animals during live demonstrations. This blend of performance and education creates a connection between entertainment and animal care practices.
The facility offers free shuttle services from major tourist areas across Lanzarote for easy transport. Early morning visits work best for shorter wait times and comfortable viewing of the shows.
Visitors can swim with sea lions or assist trainers during dolphin feeding sessions in specialized encounters. These direct interactions allow hands-on experiences that go beyond simply watching the animals.
