Sioux City Park

Sioux City is the first Wild West theme park created in Spain, a piece of land in the south of Gran Canaria, where a group of people have created a Wild West so you can remember and relive the life of the Wild West. A real theme park, where the facilities are not decorated, they are not facades, but you can enter and live the experience in first person. As soon as you enter our theme park you will feel like a real cowboy or Indian, you decide, you can walk through the town, get excited with our bank robbery and watch the sheriff face some real outlaws. Visit our animal farm: canary goats, cows, ponies, donkeys, chickens and many more. You can also dress up like a real cowboy, or Indian, in our store and of course take unforgettable memories of a great era of the American Wild West, but in the Canary Islands.
