Entertainment & Activities
Abilene has a fantastic zoo. The giraffe exhibit alone is worth the price of admission. But if you listen closely at night from my front yard, sometimes you can hear the lions roar as they are fed. :) Also, try the new swan paddle boats on the lake. They are really fun!

This is an Abilene icon--the Historic Paramount Theater was built in 1929 and restored in the `1980s to its original beauty. It is truly amazing inside--clouds move across the ceiling and stars twinkle. They show classic movies and often have special events and shows. Even if you don't attend an event or movie, it's worth walking into to see. They are happy to allow any guest to come in.
