Wonderland Park

Screams, thrills, and carnival food return!

As we get closer and closer to Easter in Amarillo we need to find ways to celebrate. Of course, we have our family time and we go to church. There are also ways to celebrate leading up to the big day.

We were having our weekly meeting here at the radio station and trying to come up with story ideas. It's something we do as a group on Mondays. It was mentioned that Wonderland announced its opening date for this year.

There's an issue happening at Wonderland Park.....but it's NOT what you expect

Amarillo has a lot of history to it. We have a lot of places to celebrate the weirdness of the city too. The first that comes to mind is the Cadillac Ranch. I mean who thinks about burying cars in the ground? Why was that even a thing?

I love scrolling through Facebook and looking at photos from Amarillo that other people post. They capture some really nice sunrises and sets. I do believe that we have the best view from our beloved city.

One of the greatest rides at Wonderland Park is the Himalaya.

I don't care how old you are the moment you walk through the gates of Wonderland you automatically become a kid again. All the rides. All the fun.

You take the family out to Wonderland. Sure it might rain but many times when we have a decent chance we end up with not a drop. I get it. Plus it might be a night that your work planned their company picnic. You don't want to miss the fun.

The amusement park will host three First Responder Nights in June.

Wonderland Park is somewhere I think we all grew up at. I know I loved going as a kid when I moved to the area back in 1986. I spent many nights there in high school too. Once my daughter was born I couldn't wait to introduce her to the rides.

My daughter was in town over the weekend. Since it was Father's Day we got to talking about our Mother's Day versus Father's Day plans every year. That moved us on to Wonderland since we always knew we would spend Mother's Day at Wonderland Park.
