Palmitos Park is a zoo with lots of exotic animals: reptiles, monkeys, birds, and more. Kids will love this. It can really hot so maybe avoid going on very hot days and go well equipped (hats, light clothing, etc.). Check out the website for more info and pricing: https://www.palmitospark.es/en/

One of our best beaches on the island. I recommend parking in Maspalomas (outside or in one of the indoor parking lots), then walking down. Visit the lighthouse, walk by the "charca" and get lost in the dunes.
