Go to Oasis Park

Oasis Park, Fuerteventura

Located towards the southern part of Fuerteventura, in La Lajita, Oasis Park is a zoo set up on a vast piece of land, so it will keep you busy for the entire day. There are some shows that you can see when you visit the park, so you can sit down to take a break from walking. We've eaten lunch at the park when visiting, and the food was ok (nothing to write home about) and at decent prices (there are several restaurants in the park). There's also a huge cactus garden, so there's a bit of a botanical garden as well mixed with the animal park.

Learn how to fly a kite

This is something the kids love and you can spend the day together trying to learn how to fly it. There's enough room on the beaches in Fuerteventura to do your thing without bothering anyone and it's a nice way for parents to spend time with the little ones.
