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.

Stepping into the Don Harrington Discovery Center in Amarillo is like entering a wonderland of…read morescience--complete with roaring dinosaurs, swirling galaxies, and lasers that make you say, "Whoa, did that just happen?" 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.

I especially loved the little mechanical horse that you can ride for 0.25!

One thing could use some attention though- the video screen in the timeline room is SO quiet. My husband and I could barely make anything out in an otherwise silent room with it on full volume, and there's no captions, so it's very inaccessible.

We raised the money for the recital fees and the costume fees and paid them to the studio in March. About a week after we paid for it, the girls expressed that being on stage made them uncomfortable and they didn't want to do the recital any longer, let alone even dance. Not wanting to force them, I contacted The Edge and notified them that they were dropping and we wouldn't be at the recital. They told us the fee for the costumes was non-refundable and we would be notified to pick up the costumes when they are delivered. I figured there's a chance they won't even have them until close to June so I just wait it out and give them a call in May. I leave a message. I take into consideration that they're probably swamped and wait. After the recital took place (6/1-6/2 I believe), and not hearing anything, I finally decide to message them (6/10). I figured by this point in time the dust would've settled and things would be a little less chaotic. I send a message via fb, and receive no response. By this point, I'm frustrated. I call on 6/11 and leave a firm message stating that I have reached out to them multiple times and left multiple messages regarding these costumes and that I'm frustrated with the lack of communication. This time I receive a call back. They tell me they have the costumes and I can come get them. I get to the studio and head up the stairs and the receptionist starts looking around for the costumes, goes downstairs, comes back a few minutes later and hands me two costumes of incorrect sizes. I explain that they're incorrect and my daughters wear 7/8 and she tells me to just hang on to them until she finds the right sizes. Looking back, this really didn't make sense but whatever. We go home and wait. 6/23, I get a text message that they've found the costumes and tell me I can pick them up when I can. I told them I'd be in on Tuesday, but my car ended up in the shop and it took a few days longer to get my butt in there but I finally got in on Thursday (6/27). I enter the office for the swap and they hand me two 10/12 costumes. I explain that these are way too big, and I ordered 7/8. I'm told that there's some sort of mix up and the correct sizes could be at a number of different houses and how unorganized and annoying these things are and that this isn't really his deal and he doesn't handle costumes. The director (could be owner?) was in Lubbock and would get in touch with me the following Monday. Frustrated but understanding, I leave. Two weeks pass and I again send another message expressing my frustration for the lack of communication and the runaround and ask for product or refund. They call me and say "we have two costumes that have been sitting here waiting for you" (as if I should've known they were just "waiting") and I tell them I will be in to pick them up the next day. This brings me to yesterday, 7/12. I enter the office for the third time and the first thing Joe says is "did she tell you where they are?" Which struck me as odd because he was the one who called me to tell me they were there. I see a few bags on a chair and pick them up and again, two 10/12, a 7/8, and 6x. I explain AGAIN that these are the incorrect sizes. I can take the 7/8 but none of the other ones will fit. He told to take the 7/8 and then proceeds to give me the same excuses he gave me the last time. These things are frustrating, and annoying, and the costume could be a number of places, and it's hard to get to because school is out (I have no idea how that would impact the costumes) and maybe they'll just have to see if they can reorder the costume that is missing, but Gabby (idk who this is) is in Orlando for regionals and when she gets back, she will contact me... just like she was going to contact me after the trip to Lubbock. I smile through it because I am unsurprised at this point and I leave knowing that no one is going to contact me. It's now been over a week with zero communication, again. This whole thing has been exhausting. Instead of just refunding us for the missing costume, this is getting dragged out. I understand people are busy, IM BUSY TOO. We are no less important than anyone else who purchased a costume for the recital. We just want what we paid for, but instead we've been handed excuse after excuse and placed on the back burner repeatedly. We have decided to just wash our hands of it and dispute the charge (hopefully the statute of limitations hasn't passed) through our bank. I've heard great things about this dance studio (and some not so great that we took with a grain of salt) and I'm really sad that this was our experience with them. The way this has been handled is incredibly disheartening and unprofessional. We hope no one else has the same experience we have had.
