Lubbock, Texas Visitor Information
The Texas You've Always Dreamed Of

Lubbock, located in the heart of West Texas, is home to western culture, award-winning wineries, Big XII sports, and the friendliest people you will ever meet.

Whether you want to relax and enjoy a glass of wine from a local vineyard, play a round of golf at the championship Rawls Golf Course, have a night out on the town in the Depot Entertainment District, or explore real western traditions at the National Ranching Heritage Center, Lubbock has it all.

Although we are a thriving city of over 200,000, Lubbock prides itself on small town hospitality and West Texas charm. Home to Texas Tech University, Buddy Holly, Prairie Dog Town, and world famous sunsets, Lubbock will entertain and delight both young and old.

A trip to Lubbock would not be complete without a stop at the Buddy Holly Center. The center features a permanent exhibit dedicated to the life and music of Buddy Holly, a pioneer of rock and roll. Unique memorabilia ranging from his famous glasses to his guitar are on display.

For the sports enthusiasts, Lubbock has many things to offer. The Texas Tech Red Raiders have year round sporting events from hard-hitting Big XII football match-ups to action packed basketball coached by Texas Tech's legendary coaches, Bob Knight and Marsha Sharp. Lubbock also has a professional hockey team, the Cotton Kings, and a professional indoor football team, The Gunslingers. Last, but certainly not least, Texas Tech is home to the world class Rawls Golf Course.

If you are looking to add a little culture to your life, the internationally recognized Museum of Texas Tech features nearly two million items on display. We also are home to Ballet Lubbock and the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. At the end of the day enjoy a glass of wine created locally at one of our award winning wineries.

In addition to all the great shopping, dining, and nightlife in Lubbock, there is a lot to do for the whole family. Be sure to make a trip to Mackenzie Park to view some of Lubbock's most beloved critters at Prairie Dog Town. The Science Spectrum and Omni Theatre provide year round entertainment that all those young at heart will enjoy. In the summer, Joyland Amusement Park and Texas Water Rampage are two great places to enjoy the sunshine and have some fun.
