4.0Prairie Dog Town(339 reviews) - perfect stop for travelers with children Nature & Wildlife Areas
this would be an incredible stop for people travelling with kids, We stopped after being told about it by a co-worker who grew up in the area. It was really neat. a herd of Prairie dogs that have been preserved by the city of Lubbock since 1934 I think it was. you can feed them or the city or someone had thrown out several lettuce leaves while we were there. They talk to each other and fight over the food. there are a few courageous ones who have burrowed out of the enclosure so be careful when you drive up!See more..
4.5Science Spectrum Museum(272 reviews) - Good afternoon for younger children Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
This museum has a lot to offer to keep little children interested and entertained for a few hours. There are 3 floors of exhibits and it looks like they are upgrading some of their areas as well. I would recommend for younger children (less than 10 yrs), and not older teenagers as the science exhibits are aimed at younger kids. It was a good environment for them to run around and explore.See more..
After visiting the Buddy Holly Center, this is an easy stroll across the street. It’s a beautiful sculpture of Buddy Holly as well as the Texas Wall of Fame. The area has a large beautiful grass field were they hold local events. Dogs are permitted here and there are bags for dog waste. We really didn’t recognize names on the wall, but it was chilly and windy that day and we didn’t spend tons of time studying it. It’s a very fitting memorial to people and very convenient; right off the freeway.See more..
Really enjoyed the visit, it’s like a little Museum of natural history in NY, small but many exhibits. Art, archeology, history, specialty rooms, 2 floors plus a planetarium. A good bit of dinosaurs and local animal displays. Definitely worth a stop. Teens, small children will both enjoy as adults do. Nice layout See more..
One of the best gameday atmospheres in the nation. For BIG 12 conference games this place can be ear splitting. Very loud. Fans are engaged, passionate and courteous if they are not provoked. Parking can be difficult as most close parking lots are used for a one of the best Tailgating I have seen on a college campus. They do have round trip shuttle busses from satellite lots for a good value. Ck the Tech athletic website for lots and price. Also they have concessions with extensive menus. Not just hot dogs and popcorn.See more..

Since completing a large expansion in 2014, our museum focuses on both the history of farming and the science and technology of modern agriculture. Want to learn about cotton? Exhibits take you from early hand harvesting to putting you behind the wheel of a modern cotton stripper in the Cotton Harvest Experience. You can also meet a hologram blacksmith in our shop, or talk to a farmer in the FiberMax exhibit. Bring back memories as you walk through the antique tractors or swap stories with one of our volunteers. With a huge collection of antiques and machinery complimented by interactive kiosks with videos and games, there is something for everyone at the FiberMax Center for Discovery. Plains Cotton Growers Conference Center available for rentals.See more..
4.5Lubbock Cemetery(66 reviews) - Buddy Holley Grace Site Cemeteries
4.5Cactus Theater(58 reviews) - Live Performances in Intimate Setting Theaters
The Cactus Theater might be the best kept secret in Lubbock! I've live her 27 years and we have just discovered it this past year. My husband, adult daughter and myself hae now attended several events! Seats are reserved, and prices are reasonable, but in our opinion, it is worth it to get the best seats in the house - the box seats upstairs! These box seats cost a little more, but concessions are included (not alcohol). We have seen tribute bands, and the Pink Floyd Laser Light show which was spectacular! My husband and I enjoy going on date nights to Cactus because the shows end at 9:30, and for us older folks, that is nice! The concession stand serves beer and wine but they do not have a bar.See more..

This winery is on a dirt road after turning off from a dirt road. It makes the trip that much more fun and interesting. The wine tasting is very reasonable at only $5 for multiple wines. The host was very knowledgeable and provided a few interesting stories. We purchased a few of the wines and currently drinking one of them as I write the review.
