1.Enjoy a parrot show at Guinate Tropical Park

Address: Guinate, Lanzarote
Located at the foot of Mount Corona - an extinct volcano, the park has some 11 acres of gardens, waterfalls and lakes and 1,300 of exotic birds and animals. The family will get a birds eye view with a walk through the large aviary or enjoy one of the six colourful parrot shows daily. Pick up buses are available from Puerto del Carmen - contact the park for details.

2.Make a splash at Aquapark

Address: Avenida de Teguise, Parcela 35, Lanzarote
Located on the outskirts of Costa Teguise and just a one hour drive from Lanzarote’s biggest resort of Puerto del Carmen. Featuring a host of water attractions for all ages including a ‘kamikaze’ and ‘spiral’ water slide, children’s swimming pool, restaurant and shops. And ideal family day out!

3.Dive deeper with the Submarine Safari

Address: Puerto Calero, Lanzarote
This underwater safari takes you on a yellow submarine below the clear waters of Puerto Calero. Safe and air-conditioned with experienced staff this exciting submarine trip offers a great family holiday adventure.

4.Get hot in the Timanfaya National Park

Address: Yaiza,Lanzarote
Children will love getting up close and personal with Lanzarote’s famous volcanoes. Children of all ages will love the party tricks from park wardens on Fire Mountain. At the summit the lingering volcanic heat remains hot which enables the park wardens to perform a few party tricks to wow the crowds. They pour water down a well, which instantly turns into a geyser. Even pebbles dug up from the ground here are too hot to handle. Another great family day out in true Lanzarote tradition.

5.Catch a wave on Playa de las Cucharas beach

Address: Playa de las Cucharas, Lanzarote
Although there are many excellent beaches along the coast of Lanzarote, Playa de las Cucharas provides great conditions for surfing and windsurfing. Its clean waters and good facilities make it popular with families.

6.Get on your bike

Lanzarote’s barren volcanic landscape provides a spectacular backdrop for active families who like cycling. You can hire a bike in many of the resorts including Puerto del Carmen. Playa Blanca and its wide, flat promenade is also particularly good for cycling. Remember to take plenty of water with you.

7.Go Karting

Address: LZ2 between Arrecife and Tias, Lanzarote
Four wheeled fun for children of all ages. This flat, high quality karting course offers all the usual twists and turns to keep all of the family entertained.

10.Canarian Cetacean Museum

Cetacean means sea mammal skeletons to you and me! Although it maybe doesn’t sound as if you’ll have a whale of a time it will grab youngsters attention with its bright modern interactive facilities and life sized replicas and skeletons.
