Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura Entry Ticket

Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura at La Lajita

Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura stands at La Lajita, a quiet village on the south-east coast, about 20 minutes' drive from Morro Jable and less from Costa Calma. The park is designed as a route through different regions of the world, with shaded paths, ponds and gardens between the enclosures.

Many visitors search for Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura tickets because it is one of the island's main family attractions and works well on windy days when the beaches are less comfortable. The setting, with palms, cacti and warm desert colours, feels quite different from the beach resorts, and it is easy to combine with a stop in La Lajita village.

Animals, demonstrations and exhibitions

Over the day you follow a path past thousands of animals from around 250 species, including birds, reptiles, giraffes and lemurs. Live demonstrations by keepers show birds of prey, parrots, sea lions and reptiles, and educational exhibitions explain the animals and the conservation work behind the park.

Check the show times when you arrive, because they are scheduled through the day. The park is large, so comfortable shoes are essential, and most visitors plan around half a day. Keeper talks explain how the animals are looked after, which makes the visit as educational as it is entertaining for children.

The lemur experience

With the lemur option you join a guided session with the park's lemur family and their keepers, whose time is assigned when you arrive at the ticket office. Sessions run through the day, so it is best to book the option that includes it and go to the office early.

Keepers explain how the lemurs live, what they eat and why the species is endangered in Madagascar. It is a calm, keeper-led experience that is popular with families, and the option that includes it also gives you park entry.

The botanical garden and planning your visit

The botanical garden is one of the park's quieter areas and features tropical succulents, cacti and native plants of the Canary Islands. It is a shaded place to rest between enclosures, and it makes the Oasis more than a zoo.

The park opens at 09:00, and you can enter at any time before closing. Bring sunscreen and closed shoes, and note that transport is not included, so you need a car, taxi or arranged transfer. The park is partly wheelchair accessible. Leave time for the shop and the restaurants, and carry a bottle of water, since the park is large and the sun is strong.
