Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park show

Rancho Texas dolphins show

The crowd's favourite at the Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park is the Dolphin Show. This is a new attraction and rather than a show it is more like an educational presentation where you can see the amazing Rancho Texas dolphins and learn how they behave.  There are four adorable bottle-nose dolphins who arrived in the Lanzarote zoo in November 2016 from Duisburg and Nuremberg (Germany). They were born in captivity and the enclosure that Rancho Texas has built for them is out of this world.

Rancho Texas Sea lions show

Another well-loved show in Rancho Texas is the Sea Lion Show. This is such a fun show as you meet Brutus and his colleagues as they put on a comical performance for you. You can even get a photo and a quick kiss from them as they love to pose for the camera with you.

Rancho Park Lanzarote (The Parrots)

The parrots were some of the first to arrive at the park when it opened so they have seen all the changes over the years, and have been entertaining visitors of Rancho Texas for decades. Their comical and interactive show is just amazing to watch as these clever birds perform a number of intelligent tests and fly around among the crowd. You will laugh and be in awe of these amazing parrots and what they can do. They will also come round for photos and sit on your shoulder or arm so they too can become Instagram famous when you share your pictures.

The birds of Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park

The Birds of Prey Show is also a popular feature of Rancho Texas Park. Here you will have an outdoor presentation of some remarkable birds of prey, As the handlers tell you all about these amazing birds they will fly them above your heads and they will glide into the crowd almost touching you. This is an incredible opportunity to see birds of prey this close up. Gasp as the likes of eagles, speedy falcons, vultures even a condor (the largest of birds) fly over your head at a very close distance!

Another show at the park is the Parrot Show. At the Parrot Show which is indoors, you can see these clever parrots and cockatoos entertain you with their demonstrations. Again it's opportunity time to get a photo with the parrots as the photographer will come round and let you hold and be the perch for two or three colourful Macaws. All the shows at Rancho Texas are included in the ticket price but there are opportunities to actually interact with the dolphins and swim with the sea lions so keep reading we will tell you how.
