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!

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!

The gardens are prepping for the Fall Pumkinfest and it’s very nicely decorated. Aside from that, the garden deserves a 5 star rating all on its own. Peaceful, tranquil, and yes, kid friendly for those in a stroller or able to comply with the many signs to “please stay on the path.” The indoor conservatory has some interesting fowl and water features. The gardens aren’t huge, but definitely a big win for $5! Make sure to try the kaleidoscope over the bowl of succulents outside of the conservatory - super fun!!!

My husband and I had an unexpected layover in Amarillo and decided to go to the QH Museum. If you grew up on a farm, enjoy horses or are just a person who enjoys horses, don’t miss this museum. It is very interesting and weaves social happenings and stories of different eras with what was happening with Quarter horses. It was worth the 2 hours we spent. We could have stayed longer. Great interactive things to learn for children who are interested in a career with horses.

This offbeat roadside attraction features 10 graffiti-covered Cadillacs standing upright in a row, buried nose-first in the ground. The sculpture is the brainchild of Amarillo millionaire Stanley Marsh III, who chose classics dating from 1948 to 1963, the "Golden Age" of the American automobile.

I have been going to Katie for my botox since before they moved to the new location and she is great. She does my lip injections too and they always look good and even. Lauren is a wonderful brow artist and did an amazing microblading job. Awaken really helps me stay looking beautiful!
