Open to the public and free of charge, visitors can enjoy watching prairie dogs play and frolic in their environment. Just to be clear, the black-tailed prairie dog is not a dog, but a stout, burrowing ground squirrel named for its barking call. They are fun to watch!
Lubbock has long been nicknamed the “Hub City.” This moniker is derived from it being the economic, educational, and health care hub of the multi-county region, north of the Permian Basin and south of the Texas Panhandle, commonly called the South Plains. But no matter what you call it, Lubbock is a great place to hang your hat!
