Abilene and related destinations
Frontier Texas! brings the Wild West to life with holograms that make cowboys practically tip their hats as you pass. The Grace Museum houses art in a beautifully restored 1909 hotel, while the Paramount Theatre's Spanish Colonial revival architecture steals the show before the curtain rises. Buffalo Gap Historic Village preserves authentic 19th-century buildings where you can almost hear phantom spurs jingling. Families flock to the Abilene Zoo, home to giraffes that eagerly accept lettuce from outstretched hands. The National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature celebrates the art that first captures young imaginations. After sunset, SODA district's converted warehouses buzz with music and local brews, proving this former cattle-drive town has cultural kicks beyond its cowboy roots.
