Buddy Holly Museum and Giant Glasses Photo Op We missed the museum since we were there on a Monday. Lots of fun places in Lubbock are closed on Mondays, most notably Joyland -- a cute little amusement that seems to only be open evenings -- in the same park where Prairie Dog Town is located. Even if you can't make it to the Buddy Holly Museum when it's open, the giant glasses out front are definitely worth the detour for fun photo ops.
