Affordable Summer Activities For Families In Amarillo

There is no doubt that we are looking for the most affordable fun we can find in Amarillo this summer. The word 'free' is the best one we could ever hear. Luckily, this is not one of those 'you get what you pay for' stories.

Fortunately, free absolutely equals fun at the Don Harrington Discovery Center, which is bringing back its highly anticipated Free First Monday event. It's exactly what it sounds like. The opportunity to take the family out to the Discovery Center for free.

Beating the Mid-Summer Budget Crunch

They offer this every month, but when it hits, like this, as the kids have already been out of school for a month, you may be stretching those funds thin. By mid-summer, even the most patient parents might find their nerves tested by the dreaded 'I'm bored' routine.

Dinosaurs Around the World Exhibit Access

So spending an evening out having fun for free might just be what the family needs. The Don Harrington Discovery Center is stepping up to save the day and stretch your summer budget.

Looking for something free to do with the entire family this Summer? Discover Dinosaurs Around the World at the DHDC for FREE during Free First Monday on July 6 from 4:30pm to 7:00pm!

While you're here, check out Girls Who Science, a free program where girls aged 8 - 18 can connect with a woman in STEM and participate in an activity based on their field!

The best thing about taking the family out this summer is that the exhibits keep changing. If it's been a while, you will definitely notice the changes. The dinosaurs are my granddaughter's favorite area. There are more than just the two in the outside area. The dinosaurs are definitely taking over.

Celebrating 50 Years of Affordable Discovery

The Discovery Center has been in Amarillo for 50 years, and they are keeping it affordable for families. It is easily one of the most budget-friendly, enriching ways to spend an evening together this summer.
