Sometimes, an intimate chat over a cup of coffee is better than any fancy, expensive evening out. Capture those special one-on-one moments at Roasters Coffee and Tea Co. Choose from an impressive selection of gourmet coffees and teas as well as a luscious pastry or muffin to go along with your selection. The quaint tables and relaxed atmosphere of their shop will only add to the mood, even if the two of you have to rush off to the office after you're done sipping on your beverage.

Touted as the place in town where more than imaginations run wild, the Amarillo Zoo captures the drama and beauty of the animal kingdom for kids of all ages.  The sprawling 15-acre site is located in Thompson Park and features over 60 species of animals from all over the world. When you and your family walk through the attractions at the zoo, you'll notice that the design of each exhibit invites both fun and discovery. And since the zoo is located in Thompson Park, plan to spend the rest of the day in the park enjoying a picnic, a game of tennis, a refreshing swim or brisk walk on one of the many walking trails.

The Ross Rogers Municipal Golf Course and the Wildhorse Course are two eighteen hole courses in one location. There are water hazards to watch for on both courses, so be ready to have your skills tested. Several players praise this nice, well-maintained course and regard it as a reliable choice when looking to play a challenging but enjoyable 18 holes. Amenities include practice facilities, a snack bar and concessions to enjoy before or after you hit the links.

Even though the people in Amarillo like to throw a good party, they like to give back with equal enthusiasm. That's what the Center City Block Party is all about. Held every August, the event takes place in the downtown area of Amarillo. Music is definitely in the air, as five stages feature 25 bands throughout the seven hour event. Food vendors and attractions consistently attract large crowds, and the festival atmosphere not only keeps everyone in a great mood, it also helps to raise funds for Center City.
