Anything you want to know about the oil and gas industry is displayed and explained here! See amazing "core samples" displayed, simply gorgeous. Various crystals from drilling are also on display and you won't believe your eyes. The museum houses a race car history wing with some of the first race cars on display. The name doesn't do this place justice ... it is a great place to visit. Allow plenty of time to get through it all.

Sightseeing
The I-20 Wildlife Preserve is a 100-acre riparian forest campus in Midland, Texas. It is a wild space – not a park – managed by a nonprofit organization. The 86-acre urban playa lake is the highlight of the wetlands, floodplain thickets, and prairie grasslands – providing abundant avian, wildlife, and aquatic habitat. The urban playa at the Preserve is a treasured ecotourism destination of regional significance and a science education resource of the Permian Basin.
West Texas can be pretty rough sometimes. With the exception of the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, it is mostly just flat and dusty.
But this place is Amazing! There is so much to see! And when you are there you can almost forget your in the desert.
The I-20 Wildlife Preserve is absolutely a must see if you have some spare time! This place is gorgeous!

Транспорт
Loop 250 and Business 20 are your friend.
Loop 250 and Business 20 are great for getting any where across town. Midland Dr., Midkiff Rd., Garfield, A St. and Lamesa Rd. are all main streets running north to south.
Wadley, Andrews, and Business 20 are all your main roads running West to East.
I avoid I-20 as much as possible. (There tend to be a lot more crazy drivers on I-20.)
Business 20 and 191 are the best for getting over to Odessa. Business 20 if going to the center of Odessa or south side and 191 for anything on the north side of Odessa.

The Saturday farmer’s market is great. It is usually at The Museum of the Southwest. At the market, most of the time they've got some tasty food. neat homemade products. Local honey. Plants. Food testers. Very yummy and fresh meat. (uncooked) Some times there is live music. It's a great place for a relaxing Saturday morning.
