Everything is bigger in Texas as they say and in Amarillo Texas there is a big handful of things to do and see. Caprock Canyons State Park one of the secret hidden areas in the Panhandle, is a small park that is out of the way of most other buildings, it isn’t really known by either natives or visitors. There are breath taking views of mountains, canyons, waterways, and native flora and fauna. Caprock Canyon State Park is a great place to capture some fantastic photography as well by incorporating the vast landscape and bright sky in the shots.

Wonderland Park is another attraction known for being big fun. It is one of Texas’ largest privately owned amusement parks with more than 25 rides and 32 attractions, including miniature golf, arcades, bumper cars, Big Splash log flume, Fantastic Journey spook house, and Shoot the Chute water ride amongst others.

Emerald Zoo is wildly popular among locals and tourist as well. Fairy tales form the theme for the exhibits at this clean and pleasant children’s zoo, featuring mostly animals native to the Panhandle such raccoons, rabbits, foxes, barnyard animals and birds. Children will have a blast spending a day at the zoo and learning about their favorite interesting animals. There are exhibits that give the children a close up look at different species of animals and the attendants encourage the kids to ask questions and participate in the presentations.

The Harrington House is somewhat interesting to check out. This 1914 neo classical house reflects highly skilled materials and workmanship, as well as fine French and English furniture, porcelain, crystal, silver, carpets, and fine paintings. In order to have the energy see these sights in their entirety you will need to be well rested . As they say everything is bigger in Texas.
