They are so cute ! Attraction at Mackenzie Park featuring prairie dogs & interpretive signage since 1935. Prairie Dog Town is simply a small field full of prairie dogs, but it offers unlimited cuteness and it's hugely popular with visitors. It's also free. A very low wall surrounds the main area, where you can see dozens of the little fellows at any given moment, but the prairie dogs run freely all over the area; along the entrance road, in the parking area, even sitting on the fence. They go about their business, with little regard for visitors standing just a few feet away. You can watch them playing or hanging out by their holes, standing up on their back legs, peeping loudly, and then falling over in dramatic fashion.Prairie Dog Town is one of the top five most visited attractions in Lubbock.

Robert Bruno's Steel House https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/robert-bruno-steel-house
Made completely of steel and balancing on four legs, the house's only entrance is via a narrow walkway connecting the home to the hillside. Curved walls that meld into the roof, oddly shaped windows, and its raised position, give the appearance of an alien spaceship hovering over the ground.
The house, which looks out over Ransom Canyon and the blue waters of the lake below, is uninhabited and unfinished inside. You can only enter the house by appointment, but it's worth driving by even if you don't have the opportunity to go inside. The house was built more than 30 years ago by Robert Bruno and completed shortly before his death in 2008. The Steel House is located about 15 minutes east of Lubbock, in the community of Ransom Canyon.
