Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Lubbock, Texas (TX)

February 20, 2022 Jasper Kershner

The legacy of Buddy Holly lives on in his birthplace of Lubbock, where a museum, a walk of fame and an annual music festival honor musicians hailing from the area. Its museums shed light on the agricultural and military history of the region. Lubbock's many parks, golf courses and wineries provide a relaxing break from it all. Add to all of this a hopping nightlife and Lubbock truly is the "Hub City" of activity in the South Plains area.

National Ranching Heritage Center

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Visitors should plan to visit the 19-acre historic park early enough to complete their outdoor tour by 4 p.m. The indoor galleries close at 5 p.m. It takes 45 to 90 minutes to see the 53 ranch structures in the historic park and walk the 1.5 mile pathway. The outdoor park is both wheelchair and stroller accessible. Admission is free.

Covers several acres plus the indoor museum. Old west stagecoach was a real show piece. Old homesteads and bunkhouses from all over Texas were brought in and rebuilt to period specs. Amazing how people lived in the 1700-1800’s. If you’re in Lubbock it is a must see.

At'l Do Farms Corn Maze

Reviewed By cfunk2018 - Lubbock, United States

Our family has enjoyed going to the Corn Maze every year for the 8 years! The maze changes design each year and it has grown. When the kids were little they enjoyed the cow train. The really like the corn canon now. There is a petting zoo and on weekends they usually have a rock climbing wall and sometimes a bungee jumper.

This is located right across the street from the Buddy Holly Center so be sure to visit when you visit the Center. The statue is a nice tribute and I loved all the names on the plaques in the Walk of Fame. A lot of my favorite musicians !

Lubbock Cemetery

Resting place of Buddy Holly.

Reviewed By 416LynnS - League City, United States

You can visit Buddy Holley’s Grace here. Yes that is the correct spelling. His name was misspelled Holly on his original recording contract and that spelling stuck but it’s spelled correctly on his grave. He is buried next to his parents. The grave is easy to find, just to the right when you enter the cemetery with a big sign pointing to the site.

United Supermarkets Arena

Reviewed By ransom007 - Anaheim, United States

I went to a women's basketball game on a Friday evening and parking was free. The ticket purchasing line was long and slow, but someone had extra tickets and was giving them away and I got one and saved quite a bit of time. The arena has a good, broad upper concourse and the seating bowl goes down from there. The seats are upholstered. It is almost an NBA quality arena except for the seating capacity. The scoreboard, message board, and public address system are all excellent. Sight lines are good, as well. There are plenty of concession stands including one selling Texas Tech merchandise.
