If you find yourself in the Amarillo, Texas are in the near future, there are a few things that you should definitely check out if you plan on staying for a while.  From museums to parks, Texas has all kinds of attractions that keep both you and your family entertained for days.  I did a little research on some review sites and came up with my own top three list that may help you find things to do in and around Amarillo.

Cadillac Ranch

This attraction may seem odd at first and I’m sure if you’ve watched movies or tourist shows about Texas, I’m sure you’ve seen this attraction.  The Cadillac Ranch is a roadside attraction that features 10 Cadillacs upside down buried nose first into the ground.  The admission is free and visitors are encouraged.  Make sure you bring your own spray paint so you can contribute to the art!

Wonderland Park

Whether you have a family or you’re just visitng with your significant other, be sure to stop by Wonderland Park, especially if you’re a fan of amusement parks.  Here, you’re going to find roller coasters, water slides, and rides for kids of younger ages.  Created more than 50 years ago, Wonderland Park’s mission was to create an exciting and reasonably priced place for kids.  At Wonderland Park, you can purchase ride tickets for as little as a $1.50.

Route 66 District

I’m sure you’ve heard of the famous Route 66.  Here, you travel a mile stretch of road that features everything from shops to restaurants.  Here at the Route 66 District, this is one of the only places that you can really get out and walk around.  If you’re looking for a little place to walk around to eat and shop, head on over to this district.  You can easily pass up a few hours!
