A Step Back in Time: Arriving at Sioux City Park

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can captivate both children and adults alike. When I heard about the Sioux City Park in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, I knew it was a must-visit for my family. The idea of stepping into a Wild West adventure, complete with cowboys, bandits, and sheriffs, was too enticing to pass up.

We started our day by catching the free bus from Plaza Maspalomas, which was a convenient and stress-free way to reach the park. The excitement began even before we arrived, as the show’s undertaker greeted us at the bus stop, setting the tone for the day. The journey was short, and we arrived at Sioux City Park by 10:25, ready to dive into the Wild West.

The park’s entrance was smooth and efficient, even with a full busload of visitors. As we walked through the gates, we were immediately transported to a different era. The realistic buildings and decor of the old West town were impressive, and my kids were thrilled to explore every nook and cranny. It was like stepping onto a movie set, and we couldn’t wait to see what adventures awaited us.

Immersive Shows and Activities

The first show kicked off at 11:00, and from that moment on, we were swept up in a whirlwind of entertainment. The talented staff put on three shows before lunch, each lasting about 20 minutes and spaced an hour apart. This schedule was perfect for families, as it allowed us to enjoy the performances without feeling rushed.

Between shows, we had plenty of time to explore the town, shop for cowboy hats, and even take a horse ride through the streets. My children were particularly fascinated by the sheriff’s office and the saloon, where they could imagine themselves as part of the Wild West.

Lunch was a hearty affair in the BBQ area, with a generous plate of sausage, steak, pork chop, potatoes, and slaw for the adults, while the kids enjoyed pizza, nuggets, and chips. The meal was satisfying and provided a much-needed break before the afternoon activities. For those with a sweet tooth, the ice-cream station was a hit, offering a refreshing treat on a warm day.

A Family-Friendly Adventure

After lunch, we continued to explore the park, taking in the sights and sounds of this unique attraction. Although we didn’t stay for the final clown comedy show at 14:45, as it was more geared towards younger children, we still had a fantastic time. The park’s ability to cater to singles, couples, and families alike made it a versatile destination for all.

As we boarded the return bus at 15:15, I reflected on the day’s adventures. Sioux City Park had exceeded our expectations, providing a fun and educational experience that my children will remember for years to come. The blend of history, entertainment, and hands-on activities made it a perfect family outing.

For those planning a visit, I recommend arriving early to make the most of the day. With its engaging shows, interactive experiences, and charming Wild West atmosphere, Sioux City Park is a must-visit for families seeking a memorable adventure in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
