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 Tascosa Golf Club presents some obvious challenges over its eighteen holes. You'll face a rolling terrain, elevation changes, and several water hazards on the course. Those include a lake, a creek and a natural waterfall. The Club also features 6,676 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. Among veteran golfers, this course rates somewhat difficult because of the water hazards and high elevation, so be prepared to have your senses dazzled and your game sharpened by the natural surroundings.

You can't visit Amarillo and not feel like a cowboy or cowgirl before too long. To help make that feeling all the more authentic, stop in to Oliver Saddle Shop for a truly rustic peek at something that every true cowboy needs-a saddle. Even though the store is filled with custom made saddles, there's also an impressive selection of other fine leather items like saddle bags, headstalls and reins and lots more. Plus, check out their extensive selection of leather gift ideas like cell phone cases, photo albums, date minders, Kleenex boxes, trash cans and other personalized items. Plus, they also have jackets, vests and skirts, so you won't leave empty handed, even if you don't have a horse in need of a saddle!

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.
