    The full size restored glider in the glass hanger really makes you appreciate the sacrifices our veterans made for us.

    This is a unique museum for sure. If you have an interest in the development of green tech over…read moretime or have deep roots on the plains it is going to interest you. If you are just looking for something to do while in Lubbock, it will depend on whether or not it is for you. It is definitely deep on windmills and history. I found it interesting but will say it didn't hold my attention the way I expect it would for some who really are intrigued by how small changes across history really add up. They have a cool gift shop and sell prints by local photographers at the end which definitely have great gift potential!

    OVERALL A gem of history in Lubbock, Texas!…read more RATING BREAKDOWN Experience: 4.5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 5 PARKING They have a nice paved lot with ample parking. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The American Windmill Museum is located in the northeast part of Lubbock, TX with close access to Interstate 25 and Loop 289. As you approach the museum grounds, you'll see the fenced in area with a slew of outdoor windmills of all generations. The building in which you can schedule a group tour of 6 or more or self-tour is huge... however, it is broken into sections: two windmill areas, model train displays, miniature houses, millstone collection, gift shop, a counter weight display, and plus their event room has an amazing wrap-around mural. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB My 8 & 9-year-olds loved the "Legacy of the Wind" seek and find. We received a few handouts soon after purchasing our tour tickets. Brochures and the like. One was a list of over 30 items to find on the mural in their special events room. Not only did this entertain them for 20 minutes, but it also was puzzle-like & expanded their vocabulary with words like "privies" & "man witching for water. SERVICE The lady at the ticket counter and the guy in gift shop were personable and helpful. MY FAVORITE PART... The windmills! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Not knowing until recently about this place. TIPS + Closed Sunday & Monday. + Cash or card is accepted for the entry fee. + As of 12/29/2022, adult tickets were $7.50. Children 5 to 12 years-old were $5. Under 5 free, $6.00 for seniors 60+ and veterans, & $20.00 for a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children).
