It’s All about Enhancements and Attractions in Amarillo

Recently, I have discovered that many areas in Amarillo have dedicated themselves to enhancing their attractions so their visitors can get the best experience possible. And now, these major additions and new touches have really increased value all over Amarillo. Therefore, I have taken time to compile a list of these wonderful enhancements to Amarillo in my blog.

The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum has come out with three fun new programs to help their visitors find their way across the state's largest history museum. Visitors can play PPHM Bingo at 10:30 a.m. each weekday. Family members actually compete with one another in a game of discovery and speed. They can play Chat with a Curator at 3:30 p.m. each week day, where visitors will get to meet a different curator everyday and learn about the artifacts and their job. They can also play Staff Favorites all day long. This game can be played and seen throughout the museum as each staff member describes their own personal connection to a particular artifact with a Staff Favorite label.

The Amarillo Zoo has many new programs and a new exhibit this summer. Combine that with free admission and it will top anyone's list as being a "must see". The zoo is opening the Herpetarium, which will include 60 animals from 30 species of exotic and native amphibians and reptiles.

Now, visitors can unlock zoo education with ZooKeys for the additional cost of $2.50. And, Zoo Fari carts can be driven around the zoo, giving the guests a chance to interact with and touch things like skulls, furs, snakes and feathers.

The Wonderland Amusement Park has opened up three new rides for this summer. Those rides include: The Hornet, a small but fast roller coaster with a sting, the Fiesta Swing and the Drop of Fear, a 200-foot tall tower of terror. All visitors can enjoy the park for $15.95 for adults and kids are $12.95; however, weekend prices are higher.

For anyone that loves horses, the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame will now be open with longer hours during the summer. From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you can take the extra time to enjoy the exhibit of the Quarter Horse Journal, a 60 year celebration, chronicling the entire Quarter Horse industry. The Hall of Fame & Museum is located at 2601 E. Quarter Horse Dr.

These all sound like awesome enhancements and additions to many of Amarillo's top attractions. I hope you get to take advantage of them before the summer is over.
