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.

If you're looking for a fun, inexpensive way to play golf or just work on improving your game, head to the Preston West Par 3 Golf Course. Touted as a great value for the money, this course features some holes with water hazards, and others with strategically designed sand traps and deceptively inviting greens that will have your shot turn quickly if you're not careful. Many players agree that the Preston is the perfect place to go to work on your short game.

The Peddler Show visits Amarillo's Civic Center twice a year. Every early spring and late fall, the show arrives with a wide selection of decorative items for the home, as well as clothes, perfumes, candles and other specialty items. In addition, there are some delicious food items for sale, like jalapeno peanut brittle and homemade jams and preserves. So get ready to shop 'til you drop at the Peddler Show, and bring your friends to enjoy a whole day of sights and sounds that make up one of Amarillo's favorite seasonal festivals.
