Sioux City Western Theme Park Ticket Maspalomas Gran Canaria

Sioux City, the Wild West theme park in Gran Canaria

Sioux City is one of the most unusual attractions on the island: an Old West town set in a dry canyon in the south of Gran Canaria, near San Agustin and Playa del Ingles. It began life as a set for western films, which is why the dusty streets, wooden fronts and desert scenery look so convincing.

Today the town is open to the public as a theme park, with costumed performers, props and a sense of the frontier. If you are searching for Sioux City tickets or a Sioux City Gran Canaria visit, this one-day admission ticket is the easy way in, and it uses the skip-the-queue route at the entrance.

Live shows and gunfighter duels

The main draw is the live entertainment. Performers stage gunfighter duels in the main street, with stunts, shouting and gunshots that entertain children and adults alike, and the cast plays out the classic scenes that fans of westerns will recognise.

Show times are displayed at the park, so check the programme as you arrive and plan your walk around it. Find a spot early for the best view of the action, and keep in mind that the shows are outdoors, so a hat and sunscreen help on hot days. Some effects can be loud, so warn very young children in advance.

Exploring the town and activities for the whole family

Between shows you can wander through the town, which has the wooden buildings and props you would expect in an Old West settlement. The streets are made for photographs, and children have plenty of open space to run around.

The park offers activities for all ages, so a family with children of different ages can stay together. Allow around three to four hours for a comfortable visit. The ticket is admission only; food and drinks are not included, so plan to buy refreshments inside or bring your own arrangements. It is a fun change of pace from the beach.

Getting there, opening hours and tips

Sioux City is a short drive from Playa del Ingles and San Agustin, and you can also arrive by taxi or by local bus. Opening times are usually from about 10:00 to 16:00, but opening hours change by season, so check your confirmation. The ticket is valid for one day and hotel pickup is not included.

Children from 3 to 11 years use the child rate. Wear comfortable shoes for the dusty ground, bring sunscreen, a hat and water, and expect some noise during the gunfight shows. A visit fits nicely into a day that also includes the beaches of Playa del Ingles or the Maspalomas dunes.
