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!
The schedule is always busy throughout the year with such popular performances as Verdi's Rigoletto as well as specialized engagements that spotlight mariachi music and other cultural influences in the area. The Amarillo Opera constantly strives to deliver unforgettable performances, and at the end of your night at the opera, you won't leave disappointed.
The Don Harrington Discovery Center is more than just a museum. It's an interactive playground where kids (and adults) can engage in various exhibits. Watch as dinosaurs watch you, or maybe check out an awesome movie about sea monsters in the Space Theater. This attraction features several specialized areas for the younger visitors, including a new preschoolers gallery that is designed exclusively for children 6 years old and younger. Summer camps, specialized classes and other special events make the Don Harrington Discover Center a must-see when you're in Amarillo.
