Reviews
"Right by the arboretum, a park, a lake, and. a medical centre. Some interesting plaques about the time capsule / sundial that was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of helium and to focus on the role of Amarillo in US helium production."
"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."
"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 Lots will have changed and the people opening these will think, we're so outdated! Really neat place to randomly stop if you're driving around that area."
