Holiday & Travel Guide For Gran Canaria, Canary Island

A Spanish Canary Island, Gran Canaria has been a popular overseas destination for many years now. Not too far away from home, but with good temperatures and lots of things to do, Gran Canaria is a good place for a family holiday because of the many attractions that are available on the unusually round shaped island.
Aquasur is a name that gives a real clue as to the nature of the attraction. A fantastic water park, in Maspalomas, there is 130,000 square feet of things to do. With 33 slides and a number of pools, this is a place that any self respecting child, and adult, would love to be seen. Try out 13 other attractions which are all water based too, such as rapids and surf beach. With places to eat and various activities both in and out of the pools (mini golf and a mini park called Polinesia will both offer breaks from the water), this is somewhere that it is easy to spend a day and is the largest water park on the island.

If your children really love water parks though, try Ocean Park too. Well connected to many resorts via bus routes, go for an afternoon and dip in the various pools and take advantage of 13 slides which will have you in a spin. Stay until the evening for a spot to eat, and then head back to your resort with a nice worn out family ready for a good sleep that night.
Obviously, children will take advantage of anything thrilling that is thrown at them. If you do not want to spend all week at the beach or in the water, then try some proper theme park fun too. Sioux City is a Wild West themed park with live performances and a lot of sets that are realistic to the time and setting. There is a small zoo which young children will love as well, for a chance to have a look at some wildlife. Holiday World is somewhat more all rounded as an entertainment complex though, so is somewhere to consider for one day. There are some regular theme park rides and a leisure centre with bowling and other activities for the kids, so the family will be entertained all day. Leave the kids in the laserdome or arcade while you visit the onsite health spa for some relaxation and a nice chance to unwind during your time away from home.
It is nice, while you are away on holiday, to have some family days out to parks that embrace the local culture or environment a bit more though. Two places that you should bear in mind are the Palmitos Park and Cocodrilo Park. The former has Gibbon Island and many birds to look at, as well as some of the best flora that the island has to offer. The latter is home to 300 crocodiles and birds, fish and lastly parrots, which will perform shows at a regular interval throughout the day.
If you want some real fun while you are away Gran Canaria is great for family activities. From the great beaches, to the many parks on offer, you are sure to find something to do every day of the week.
