Planning a trip to the Canary Islands and looking for something a bit different? Sioux City Park offers a taste of the Old West right in Gran Canaria, and it’s gaining quite a reputation among travelers. Whether you’re a family with kids, a history buff, or just someone curious to see how the Wild West was recreated elsewhere, this theme park might be worth your time.
What we really like about Sioux City is how it’s not just a set of fake buildings, but an authentic-looking village with real structures you can walk into, giving you that immersive cowboy experience. Plus, the live shows and gunfighter duels promise entertainment that can keep you engaged all day. On the flip side, it’s important to note that the experience is primarily designed as a fun, themed outing rather than a deep dive into history.
This tour is especially suitable for those who enjoy lively entertainment, family-friendly activities, and a bit of costume fun. Keep in mind, there’s no included food or transportation, so planning ahead is key.

Why Sioux City Park is a Worthwhile Day Trip

When you step through the gates of Sioux City Park, you’re greeted with more than just a theme park — you’re entering a carefully created replica of the Old West. This isn’t a quick photo op or a superficial attraction; the buildings are real, and the whole village is designed to give you a sense of stepping back in time.
The highlight for many visitors is the live shows, especially the thrilling duels and bank robberies. As one reviewer put it, “The entertainment was good and filled the whole day,” giving you plenty of opportunities to watch different performances and soak in the ambiance. The gunfighter battles are designed to be exciting and engaging, making it clear that the park is committed to giving a lively, authentic feel.
A noteworthy aspect is the park’s animal farm, where both children and adults can enjoy interacting with ponies, goats, and chickens. Many reviews mention how fun it is to feed the baby animals or watch them peacefully grazing after the action-packed shows. It’s a nice touch that adds a layer of connection to nature and simpler times.

The Experience of Walking Through the Old West

Walking through Sioux City feels like stepping into a Western movie set — but better, because you can actually go inside the buildings. From saloons to sheriff’s offices, each structure is designed to look genuine, and you’re encouraged to explore. The park’s decorations are praised for their authenticity, which helps transport visitors out of Gran Canaria and into a dusty frontier town.
One guest describes it as “an authentic village where every building is real,” making it perfect for those who enjoy interactive environments. Dressing up in cowboy or Indian costumes is another highlight, allowing you to take home some memorable photos and a bit of fun role-playing.
Live Shows & Thrills

The park’s live shows are a big draw. From duels to sheriff vs. outlaw battles, these performances are designed to entertain and thrill visitors of all ages. Many reviews mention how they arrived around 11 AM to maximize their experience, catching all the shows and even a barbecue. The shows are lively and loud, so if you’re visiting with very young children, a heads-up about the noise level might be wise.
Reviewers like Una share, “It was much more than we expected and we had so much fun,” highlighting how the entertainment exceeded initial expectations. Another visitor noted how their older teenagers had an “absolute blast,” which suggests the park appeals across age groups.
Animal Encounters and Activities

A major plus for families is the animal farm. It’s a chance to get close to farm animals like ponies, goats, and chickens, and even feed some of them. Many visitors find this to be a relaxing break from the shows, and it’s a way to involve children in a more tactile experience.
The park also offers opportunities to ride horses and ponies, which many reviews mention as a fun activity. The farm and animal interactions provide a laid-back contrast to the action-packed shows, balancing entertainment with gentle, hands-on experiences.
