In fact, they were disappointed when we had to go get lunch late in the day. Definitely one of the headlights of Amarillo area. It is awesome and it’s even fun for adults. Your kids probably won’t want to wait through all of the different learning elements but they’ll definitely love all the activities. Glad we went and look forward to going back again."

There are artifacts also of birds and dinosaurs. We watched a short film in their planeterium/ theater that was very interesting. I highly recommend this place when you visit Amarillo with your kids. There is also an outdoor play area with varieties of birds and ducks out on the lake on the Duscovery grounds. A great family place not to miss! M- S hrs 9:30 to 4:30. Sun- 12:00 to 4:30."

Our 4 year old twins had a blast! We enjoyed it as well! It was hard to pick a favorite because every part was great! I did love the tree house area with the scat and track displays and the birds of prey taxidermy! We didn't realize how fun it would be and wish we could've stayed longer. We stayed about 3 hours. In that time we explored the whole center and even got to watch a movie in the planetarium. The gift shop was small, but very affordable! Check this place out ESPECIALLY if you have kids!"
