Things To Do
in Lubbock
Cotton Court lives at the epicenter of the action. Beyond its rock ’n’ roll roots, Lubbock is a city built for explorers. Wander the galleries of the state’s first designated Cultural District, catch a Broadway performance at the world-class Buddy Holly Hall, or spend an afternoon paddleboarding and hiking at Dunbar Historic Lake. History buffs can lose an afternoon at the American Windmill Museum while families zip-line and go-kart their way through Adventure Park. Ask us about our favorites. Then get out there and enjoy.
