Additionally, there is a gentleman who meets you at the door and takes your $12 entrance fee and then follows you around to be sure that you don't steal anything. There's nothing here that you haven't seen in other car auto museums and I was disappointed and somewhat annoyed by having "Tex" follow me all over the place as if I was a common thief. Additionally, he complained because we were taking too long and he had not yet had his lunch even though it was not yet noon. You might want to pass on this one.

They range from the 1920's to modern but most are from the 1950's to the 1980's. They are packed in somewhat tightly.

They are used at local car shows, parades and other events. It was well worth the visit.

On my day off, I visited the Native American Heritage Center and gift shop. The museum is wonderful and has multiple rooms and open spaces filled with artists works, collections of all things Native. Well worth the stop and give the displays as much time as you can. BEWARE of the gift shop. They offer great merchandise including used books, handmade item, custom jewelry, etc. I bought several items, one being a pair of earrings tagged $36 and in a glass display case that was clearly marked 40% off. The clerk of Norwegian background confirmed the earrings were indeed 40% off. I bought them, postcards, and a beaded hair barrette. Returned to my room only to discover I received not a 40% discount but a 25% discount! I called during posted open hours over 2 days, leaving a voice message each time. I never had another day off to stop at museum before returning home. Still have not heard back about the error made, nor seen a correction made to my credit card.

This is a great little Museum with lots of artifacts, relics and artwork on display. There are…read moremultiple little rooms so you have to wander around quite a bit to make sure you see everything. When I first walked in I was a little bit intimidated because I ended up in a small Auditorium type room where a group of young people were learning native dancing. There was an older man and young boy up on the stage slowly beating the drum beat on huge drums with a wonderful sound and probably 20 or so children and teenagers listening as he called out the moves they should make to the beat, kind of like a square dance caller would tell the dancers what moves to make. I sat and watched this for a while and enjoyed it. As I was looking around I saw a doorway that said entrance so I eventually walked over to it. There were three ladies talking just inside the entrance and I asked them if I was going the right way. They gave me a few quick directions and told me to enjoy looking. First I went into the little gift shop just to see what they had which was actually quite a bit in the way of jewelry, handmade items, Indian related gift items, better quality stuff than you see in a cheap tourist store. They had a wide selection of beads for sale also for people who were into doing their own beading. No one bothered me as I looked around and they seem to all know each other and enjoy visiting with each other. I'm sure if I'd had any questions someone would have been happy to answer. In the other rooms there were displays of beaded items, moccasins, Indian clothing, headdresses, Buffalo and deer heads and skins, old photographs from the area, dioramas of cliff dwellings, Papoose carriers, weapons, and historical information regarding the various tribes of the area and of the country as a whole. See my photos for a sampling but they just scratch the surface of what there was to see. I probably spent about an hour wandering around looking and reading. In one room there was some crafting going on of people working on beading. One person appeared to be making jewelry and others were working on beaded clothing. It was interesting to watch them for a few minutes. One whole wall was devoted to photos of young men from the area who had qualified as Eagle Boy Scouts. As a strong supporter of scouting through the school years myself I enjoyed looking through those. As a side note, it looks like they are preparing to expand the building according to a sign I saw as I was walking in. They seem to be very involved in activities not just displays so I look forward to coming back another time and seeing the progress they have made. Also I should mention there is a decent parking lot with not a far walk to the entrance. If you happen to be in Amarillo on one of the days this museum is open be sure to stop in and check it out if you are interested in the native heritage of the area. I thought it was well worth the time. I don't know about the summer hours but I'm sure their website tells what they are. In the winter they are only open from 1 to 5 p.m. on the weekends.

The place buzzes with curiosity from the moment you walk in. I kicked things off in the Sun, Earth & Universe gallery, pressing buttons to trigger solar flares and playing with real-time space weather--instant brain tickles that felt both geeky and awesome . Then I zipped over to the Outdoor Science Park, where a life-size T‑Rex and Triceratops loomed over a fossil dig pit. Kids were scooping up "bones" while I dodged tennis balls flying from a launcher--science meets playground shenanigans . Later, I curled up in the cozy Treehouse Reading Nook, surrounded by bird chirps from the aviary above--a peaceful contrast to the chaos of color bombs and bouncing probes . The highlight, though? The Space Theater, a full‑dome planetarium that launched me from Earth to black holes in minutes--complete with dramatic music and enough stars to rival my ex's eyes . It's clear DHDC is more than a kids' museum--it's a playground for inquisitive minds of all ages. Traveling exhibits keep things fresh, and a recent "Beyond: Unity in Community" display even won a national award for celebrating Afghan culture . Educational programs, planetarium shows, story times, and even sci‑fi-style "KABOOM!" demos fill the calendar . By the end of my visit, my cheeks hurt from smiling, my head buzzed with fun facts, and I momentarily considered launching myself into orbit. Instead, I left with a grin, a handful of newfound cosmic trivia, and a plan to bring all my friends next time. Bottom line: Don Harrington Discovery Center is science with soul--equal parts spectacle and insight. Whether you're a kid, a curious adult, or just someone who likes lasers and dinosaurs (who doesn't?), this place throws the perfect brain party.
