    We visited as something to do before leaving Lubbock & were pleasantly surprised by how good it was & well presented. Staff were friendly & helpful. We'll worth a visit.

    A "must see" in Lubbock! We loved it! I had no idea what a glider plane was or that it was used during WW 2 . Do not miss this! It is so well done and informative. The highlight of Lubbock.

    Even if you aren’t a Buddy Holly fan, but who isn’t, this is a very worthwhile stop. A short film briefly outlines his short life, and all he accomplished in only a couple of years. The entire array of displays is extremely well done! Lots of memorabilia and personal items add to the overall insight into his life. The only shortcoming was they should turn the background music up much louder. 😀

    We went here for a meeting, not understanding what a phenomenal place this is. OMG! There are many more windmills inside than outside, plus miniature train sets (a lot!), doll houses, millstones, etc. We spent over two hours and didn't see everything.

    1. Good to know about the prairie dog town’s history which was a good story.
    2. Good for people never see prairie dogs, but you can’t really see the prairie dogs that close.
    3. Seems like the area outside the official “town” has more prairie dogs now!
    Recommend people who haven’t seen prairie dogs to go taking a look.

    This place is very large with a lot of interesting facts to read. A good way to spend some free time in Lubbock if you have it.

    This museum has a lot to offer to keep little children interested and entertained for a few hours. There are 3 floors of exhibits and it looks like they are upgrading some of their areas as well. I would recommend for younger children (less than 10 yrs), and not older teenagers as the science exhibits are aimed at younger kids. It was a good environment for them to run around and explore.

    Saw Ian Moore last night at the Cactus Theater. Ian Moore is one Texas greatest guitarist, so we knew it would be a good show. It was great! Even Ian Moore commented on the energy, he was rocking. We'd been to the Cactus previously, but I don't remember the quality of the venue...the lights, smoke, and sound were great and added to the quality of the show. One down side which we noticed the last time we visited - no room to stand up and dance. I'd recommend they install some removable seats on the sides closest to the stage to remove for dance space for these type of events. It would significantly increase the vibe. Those who want to dance can dance, others can still enjoy the seats. Some folks went to the front to dance anyway, especially towards the end anyway, but it would be great throughout the show.

    I have visited a few wineries in Texas and this has been my favorite so far! It was so nice and lots of seating options. My friend, my daughter and I sat in a soft seating area and our server was so friendly and helpful. It was my daughter’s first visit to a winery and I told her the bar has been set high and many others can’t compare. I hope to visit again while she is still a student at Tech.

    We loved this stop. My kids and I all learned something new. I am surprised I had not heard of this gem before this trip. Thank you for a fun and informative way to spend the morning.

    Nice statue & Walk of Fame. We spotted a couple of names of people we had seen perform during our current road trip which made it extra interesting.
