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