Enjoyed the collection and story behind the collection of old RV's and camping paraphernalia. Brought back a lot of memories of camping as a kid. Fun stop and thanks to Jack for putting this together and keeping it free to the public!

In addition, we also offer city tours, route 66 tours, and progressive tours that follow the trails of Cowboys and Indians and the trails leading up to the Santa Fe Trail. Join us and step back in time to the Old West, and experience ranching life in the New West.
Wondrerful trail ride leaders Grace and Brayden made sure we knew all we needed to have a relaxing horseback ride to view the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon; an as an added bonus we got a history lesson on the area. So nice to see young ladies being so refreshingly responsible!

Escape reality and become the sleuth because, here, we put you INSIDE the game. Based off popular online escape games, and the board game, Clue, our theme-based rooms puts your logic and teamwork skills to the test. Enter one of our escape rooms where the door will lock behind you. A clock begins ticking and you, along with other participants have 60 minutes to solve clues and escape the room.
This place was a BLAST. The rooms were very well themed, the puzzles were well thought out and intricate, and the staff was AWESOME. Definitely recommend this place whether you’re a seasoned escape room player or brand new and just wanting to try it out!

Tascosa Drive In is a modern day state of the art digital outdoor theater. The family friendly atmosphere gives you the feeling of stepped back in time. Tascosa plays two first run movies for one low price. The largest screen in the Texas panhandle produces a spectacular picture against the star lit sky. We have a large verity of concession food that won't drain your wallet.

My family and I most definitely enjoyed the visit to the Texas Panhandle War Memorial. We were welcomed with open arms, very friendly and the museum is most definitely a sight to see. It's a great place to visit in which to reflect our freedoms and to honor our brothers and sisters in arm that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and our nation. I most definitely recommend visiting, there are many historical artifacts to see, friendly and welcoming staff as well as a gift shop. 12/29

The clock is ticking down. You have one mission: escape the room. We’re bringing a new kind of family-friendly entertainment to the area. This is an interactive game that’s unlike anything you’ve done before. Our rooms have different themes and are designed to provide an immersive experience, so there’s always a new adventure to embark on. You’ll work with your team to find clues, crack codes, and solve puzzles as you race against the time to succeed. Do you have what it takes to escape?
So much fun in the Bates Hotel, I absolutely loved all of the puzzles and how much one part scared my friend!
