The aquarium of Poema del Mar is my favorite place to go on cloudy or rainy days. It has all kinds of ocean creatures, from giant sharks and rays to tiny sea dragons and tortoises!!!

We got a private visit to an active abalone research farm! An abalone is a shellfish with the prettiest shell you ever saw. Plocan is the marine research center of the Canary Islands. They also study fish, seaweed and all kinds of other critters.

Palmitos park is a zoo with an amazing collection of birds. And dolphins!! And lots of other small exhibits with reptiles, monkeys, fish and more. Dad seemed more interested in the plants, and there are a whole lot of them, but that is just weird. This zoo is in a giant canyon and the animals are up and down the hillside. I wish there was an elevator since I wasn’t in the mood for so much hiking.

The ultimate kid’s rainy day activity in Las Palmas is either Poema Del Mar or the Elder museum. I love to play the virtual reality games, climb in full sized airplanes, crack the code on puzzles and experiments, learn about the stars, practice surgery, and do art projects. We can touch everything and no one gets made when we run and shout. Sojourn says it’s the best museum ever.

Every year in December, the city has a sand art nativity scene. The sculptures are bigger than I am and show religious scenes. It’s not just baby Jesus though as many of the sand sculptures show cool scenes of Canarian culture and history.

Crocodile park isn’t your normal zoo. It is an animal rescue center!!! I saw tigers, monkeys, baboons, lamas, snakes, parrots, cranes, funky chickens, fluffy bunnies, giant tortoises, lemurs, and lots and lots of crocodiles.
