Amarillo is a great place to take the family to get a taste of the real Texas. Take the kids to visit. the River Breaks Ranch and see how real cowboys live and then visit Kwahadi Museum of the American Indian to learn about their lifestyles in a building that looks like an old Indian pueblo.

With Elkins Ranch Jeep Tours, you can enjoy the magnificent views of the Palo Duro Canyon. While exploring the Palo Duro Canyon State Park on your Texas weekend getaway, check the Old West Stables and let the kids ride on horseback where cowboys and Indians once roamed. Let kids tinker and explore at the Don Harrington Discovery Center or visit wild animals at the large 15-acre Amarillo Zoo in Amarillo.
