Amarillo's Wonderland Park has been providing 60 years of "wows" to several generations of young ones who love to ride the rides and be a part of this iconic amusement park's excitement. The fun never ends at Wonderland, as you can choose from everything from miniature golf to one of four roller-coasters, five water rides as well as merry-go-rounds, bumper cars and even a pirate ship! Every day there are special ticket promotions, so make sure you check their website before heading out for a great day at this amusement attraction.
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 Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show takes place every fall at the Amarillo Civic Center and features over 450 companies showcasing the latest agricultural equipment and the newest information through special presentations, workshops and seminars. Nearly 30,000 attendees from the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles attend the show, along with visitors from New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. Everyone from farmers to ranch workers to businessmen who deal with farming and everything that goes with it, make it a point to be in Amarillo for this show.
In Texas everything is bigger, right? That holds true for museums, too, as the Amarillo Museum of Art stands as one of the largest facilities in the United States. With various collections both permanent and traveling, the museum celebrates the creation of art as well as invites it, as it offers classes in various mediums for both children and adults. The staff and supporters work hard to ensure that the venue's mission of providing quality visual arts programming to the residents of the Texas Panhandle is a continuous and successful one. If you appreciate art, this is an attraction you can't miss.
