Amarillo is the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, the Grand Canyon of Texas, and camping, hiking, biking and the outdoor musical TEXAS, all in 25,000-acre Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
Eat at the Big Texan Steak Ranch, famous for its "free" 72-oz. steak or experience western lifestyle and chuck wagon cooking at River Breaks Ranch
Catch a show or concert at the new Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, dine along the rejuvenated Polk St. Entertainment District and cruise along Historic Route 66.
Experience five of Texas’ finest museums: the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum (the state's largest history museum); Kwahadi-Kiva Indian Museum (catch a performance of the Kwahadi Indian Dancers); Amarillo Museum of Art (great bargain- it's free); American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum (re-opened this summer after months of renovation); and the Don Harrington Discovery Center (be sure to visit the Digital Space Theater).
In Thompson Park, play golf at Ross Rogers Golf Center, take a look at the new cat exhibits at the Amarillo Zoo and enjoy one of Texas' best amusement parks, Wonderland Amusement Park.

It's all about stepping into the real Texas in Amarillo.
