  • Tip Rating:
  • At MacKenzie Park you can see a prairie dog town. It is not just a small area with a dozen prairie dogs like some zoos have. It is a nice big prairie dog town with hundreds of prairie dogs. The prairie dogs are not afraid of people so it is great to observe them up close. In addition to prairie dogs I saw burrowing owls, ground squirrels, and a gopher there. I could have spent hours at the park's 'dog town'.

    Roswell, NM
    I drove through West Texas on a few occasions and somehow never noticed that Roswell was just a hop, skip and a jump away (about a 3 hour drive - which in Texas terms is pretty small!)

    Carlsbad Caverns
    The Caverns are just a few hours away, and so if you are planning to visit Lubbock, then a drive down to Carlsbad migth be worth looking into.

    There is the Museum of Texas Tech University, which has a lot of neat things to see.
