The Timanfaya National Park is the most popular tourist attraction there is in Lanzarote. Located in the south west this fire mountain nearly devistated Lanzarote by killing off everything on the Island. The area in question errupted for a total of 5 years.
Tips
When visiting the National Park you should ensure you take suitable foot wear and remember that being on top of a volcano it will be windy and sometimes cold.

I am just back from Lanzarote and my biggest regret is not getting to see Timanfaya. Unfortunately my back went. I really wanted to see the volcanic sunset as it is supposed to be spectacular. I will be back and my first stop will be Timanfaya.

Peter Duffell, I guess by your comment that you havent been to Timanfaya yet.
I don't want to spoil the visit for you if you haven't been there, so I'm not going to give anything away here. Keep an open mind and you will be surprised.. I was, and I am the most sceptical person on Earth :-)

Can anyone confirm that the heat for the grill is actually generated by a furnace under the ground at the front of the hotel/restaurant. Similarly the steam produced when water is poured down the shafts. Is the whole thing not a con?

Although there are numerous organised bus trips we hired a car to head out and see the Island. Of all the places we saw this was my personal favourite. From the gasp of awe when I first entered the park, to riding a camel up into the hills, the superb bus ride around the National Park - 16 Km of wonderment, to the visitors centre at the other edge of the park I don't my mouth closed once. It was a fabulous place to go. If you think Lava is just black - think again it is various colours and it produces the most amazing textures. We spent far longer here than we planned to but we just didn't want to leave.

If you are visiting Lanzarote this is the must see attraction. With out the Timanfaya National Park you would not have Lanzarote, the information is very interesting and there is a lot of history to find out.
You should all visit this attraction
