About Lubbock

Lubbock is definitely known for having an exquisite taste in music since the city has more music venues per capita as compared to any other Texas city. But its charm isn’t limited to music, as Lubbock also has its fair share of cultural attractions and art displays tucked into different corners of the city.

The museums showcase the city’s history, heritage, aviation, and agriculture, most of them even offering free admission to ensure easy accessibility for everyone. A popular person to hail from the city is Buddy Holly, who grew up to become a famous musician. Today, there’s a Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock to honor the guy.

Meanwhile, the Joyland Amusement Park and Prairie Dog Town are popular attractions for families with kids.
