The Best Western Santa Fe is located just off Interstate 40 a few miles from the Amarillo Airport. Surrounded by industrial businesses, there’s nothing of interest within easy walking distance. However, in minutes you can drive to all types of shops and restaurants. You’ll be just down the highway from the famed Big Texan Steak Ranch, where you can attempt their 72-ounce steak dinner challenge, or simply have a good meal. Also nearby is the new Kwahadi Museum of the American Indian, which tells the history of the native peoples of the area, and features ceremonial dance performances each weekend. Other family-friendly attractions are a few minutes away in central Amarillo, including the Amarillo Museum of Art, Texas Air and Space Museum, and Wonderland Amusement Park. With its remodeled rooms and convenient freeway location, the Best Western Santa Fe can be a great choice for your family’s big trip to Amarillo.
