In the wide expanse of the Great Plains region of Texas, Lubbock stands out like a beacon. Known as the Hub City, Lubbock is the epicentre of the South Plains. It has three universities and a thriving cotton industry. Although this area of Texas is known for hot, drysummer weather, it is conducive to grape growing and has a budding wine industry. Llano Estacado Winery is the state’s most celebrated winery. McPherson Cellars, another favourite, is located in Lubbock’s historic Coca-Cola bottling plant. Lubbock has a variety of venues to interest visitors of all ages. For a classic carnival experience, head to Joyland Amusement Park’s roller coasters and arcade games. Learn about science and technology at the Science Spectrum, an interactive, hands-on museum with a small aquarium. While there, watch a movie at the OMNI Theatre, where the massive domed screen allows you to feel like you’re part of the movie. You’ll also enjoy Lubbock’s diverse arts scene. Watch a performance from Ballet Lubbock or listen to classical masterpieces and other musical genres from the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. Get tickets to a performance at the Cactus Theatre, considered the home of live entertainment in West Texas. Everyone will enjoy the famed First Friday Art Trail on the first Friday of every month, where art, music and fun meet. Cheer on the Texas Tech University Red Raiders at one of the sporting events held year-round. On Independence Day, 4th on Broadway attracts over 100,000 visitors to enjoy a street fair and fireworks. Every September thousands come for 1950s rock celebrating the birthday of local son Buddy Holly. Later learn about the pioneering days with a visit to the National Ranching Heritage Centre. It’s easy to fly into the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, just north of the city. Lubbock is surrounded by wide West Texan plains, but within the city limits you would never guess it. This lively city is worth a visit to experience authentic Texas at its best. ### Where to stay in Lubbock ![Lubbock which includes a windmill and interior views](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/63000/63759-Lubbock.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Tech Terrace 5/5(1 area review) While Tech Terrace might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Buddy Holly's Grave and United Supermarkets Arena.
