    This was a fun place to visit. There is an indoor museum with multiple galleries, but I recommend going outside first, since it closes before the indoor museum. The outdoor area has a map and information outside each display. It’s about 1.5 miles in total walking if you see everything, so wear appropriate shoes. The staff is very friendly also.

    We attended a concert to see Lindsey Stirling play her violin while performing at the same time with her dancing and trapeze performance. It was amazing to listen and watch her and her crew perform together. Excellent show for the entire family. This was my first time to go to the Buddy Holly Hall. It was very beautiful building. Very impressed!

    It was a very interesting part of the war not many people know about. It was a big place, a lot to see, and many exhibits with displays. If you don’t want to read a lot, there is an audio package you can get. It’s out by the airport and easy to find.

    A good place to see Prairie Dogs up close. They are used to human. DO NOT FEED THEM. Set up to save the species in West Texas because the government was poisoning them.

    The museum is a lot bigger than I anticipated. Lots of interesting facts about windmills. They also had a huge selection of toy trains running around miniature cities and a huge selection of miniature houses. We spent at least 2 hours. Would highly recommend to anybody from little kids to adults.

    This had some fun activities for both adults and children, it reminded me a lot of childhood science. There were a good amount of displays and activities that were adult friendly. I paid for one of the movies, it was a little disappointing. It was supposed to be about coral reefs and preservation. It spent a lot of time on the people of the area that I felt wasn’t needed.

    This was a nice sized and well organized museum. I got a map when I entered, and I was grateful for it since I probably would have missed something without it. There was a variety of things to see, from art to science and historical local displays. The planetarium was closed for classes when I was there.

    This is my favorite winery in the area. There is a large variety of all wine genres. You get to choose the tasting you want, and there are many categories of wine to choose from. The wine is great, there wasn’t a bad one on my tasting. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. They let me try a new release that had not even been advertised and even sold me a bottle, that thankfully made it home safely. The outside is beautiful, it was just too hot the day I was there to walk around.

    The tasting list is somewhat limited compared to the other wineries in the area. You do not get to choose the tastings and all their wine is of the dry variety. It is beautiful inside.

    If you go to the Buddy Holly Center, it's just across the street. Beautiful statue and park. There's a Paul McCartney oak, but unfortunately it looks dead. Don't miss it!

    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.

    This museum is well put together and organized. The order and organization of the exhibits helped the understanding and learning. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, and they were expanding the children’s exhibit when I was there. The temperature is comfortable and it’s a very clean place. The employee and volunteer were very friendly and helpful.
