Amarillo has a wide range of entertainment options. Approximately 20 miles south of town is Palo Duro Canyon state park: Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon system in the US (only the Grand Canyon is bigger). There are several museums in the area, including the Amarillo Museum of Art, and the American Quarter Horse Museum. In nearby Canyon, TX is the very large and diverse Panhandle Plains Historical Museum. There are two theatre groups in town for those who like plays. Amarillo also boasts a symphony, chamber music group, ballet and opera. In the fall is the Tri-State Fair, sort of a giant county fair. The convention center and the event center host a wide range of events from rodeos to concerts. Amarillo has professional minor league hockey, baseball and football teams for those who enjoy watching sports.
