Weekend Activities For Kids And Adults In Amarillo

If there is one thing every kid grew up being fascinated by in Amarillo, it's dinosaurs. While some outgrow the phase, many adults secretly retain that childhood wonder, which is why the return of dinosaur exhibits to the Discovery Center for its 50th anniversary has been such a massive hit.

The dinosaurs are something every kid loves running in and just standing in amazement. Watching the younger generation, including my own granddaughter, stand in absolute amazement at these prehistoric giants is proof that the magic never really fades.

Prehistoric Cinema in the Space Theater

As part of the dinosaur world at the Don Harrington Discovery Center, you can enjoy a couple of movies that will be showing in the Space Theater.

Catch the dinosaurs in our Space Theater on Saturday, June 27, starting off with a family-friendly screening of The Good Dinosaur at 5:00 pm for a roaring good time!

For the grown-up dino fans, “hold onto your butts” ‘cause we have a 21+ screening of Jurassic Park with themed drinks and unlimited popcorn at 7:30 pm, right after!

So whether you want to experience the family fun viewing of The Good Dinosaur or relive the high suspense of the dinosaurs going crazy in Jurassic Park, there is a viewing for everyone.

Family-Friendly Screening: The Good Dinosaur

These movies in the space theater do sell out, so you want to reserve your space as soon as possible. The family viewing of The Good Dinosaur is $5 per ticket. If you want to hang around for the 21+ showing of Jurassic Park, you have some options.

Adults-Only Night: 21+ Jurassic Park Experience

With Jurassic Park, you can opt for the ticket only for $10. If you want the ticket and concession bundle, which includes unlimited popcorn and drinks, including fun themed alcoholic drinks, that will cost you $25.

Whether you are looking for wholesome family entertainment or a nostalgic, pulse-pounding night out, this weekend at the Discovery Center is not to be missed.
