TexStar Adventure Playhouse

Tucked above The Watering Hole bar, this is one of those only-in-Lubbock situations that somehow just works. The adventure playhouse concept gives kids something to actually do while parents take a breather downstairs — not a bad setup, honestly. It’s close to enough other spots in town that you could easily build a whole afternoon around it. Worth knowing about if you’re trying to keep younger kids entertained without driving all over the city.
