Nice place to visit near the botanical gardens regarding the history of helium here in Amarillo. Also, the old helium plant is not far from here on Amarillo Blvd on the western edge of town.This monument used to be near I-40 and was visible to anyone passing through Amarillo. But it was moved to this location in 1982.The signs and plaques could use a good cleaning and refurbishment, but the stainless steel monument looks great.

My kids thought it was cool. I was able to give a science and and history lesson connected to helium, gasses and how its stored underground.

Took my son here a few years ago. It was neat to see how far apart the capsules were dated and it really makes you think. Lots will have changed and the people opening these will think, were so outdated!Really neat place to randomly stop if youre driving around that area.

Beautiful monument and plaques commemorating the discovery of helium and the story behind it all. Located in a park with ample parking, free. Definitely a must see in the area. Perfect for science nerds and regular nerds, too.

My husband and I were looking to kill some time and found this and glad we did. This was an awesome monument to learn of and very educational. After reading about it we learned it’s also a sundial. It was cloudy the day we went but evening did get to see it tell time. Awesome must see! We will be back in 2068!

No longer produces helium. Now where does it come from?

Its a really cool informative time capsule.

Interesting facts on helium and transportation of helium. Site is somewhat underwhelming but part of our kitschy tour today.

Surprisingly nice.

A good place for a quick stop.

Beautiful setting for a time capsule.

Learned a lot surprisingly

Went at night. Saw some cool lights. Saw a skunk wondering around. Got the heck out of there.

Something a bit different, cool to learn how the whole thing is a time capsule worth the visit...

Nice shade and views

What can I say other than it is a monument. The Discovery Center is pretty cool for your little ones too!

Nice area
