| What is In Downtown Fort Worth |
Where the West Meets Modernity (and Maybe a Little Madness)
Downtown Fort Worth is a quirky mix of old and new. One minute you might be starin' up at the shiny chrome towers of the business district, the next you'll be two-steppin' through the historic Sundance Square with its red-brick streets and wild west vibes. It's like a chameleon, this downtown, always keepin' you on your toes.
Sundance Square: The Heart of the Hustle and Bustle
This pedestrian-friendly plaza is the crown jewel of downtown. Think of it as an outdoor mall on steroids. You'll find all sorts of shops, from big-name brands to local boutiques where you can snag a one-of-a-kind Stetson (or maybe a shirt that says "I heart Fort Worth"). Don't forget to snap a pic with the iconic Sundance Square bull – just don't try to ride it, partner.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Culture Vultures, Rejoice!
Fort Worth's got a serious case of the arts. The Kimbell Art Museum is a world-class joint with a collection that'll blow your mind. Think Monets, Renoirs, and enough Egyptian artifacts to make you think you stumbled onto a Pharaoh's tomb (minus the creepy curses).

Downtown's got you covered. The Bass Performance Hall is where you can catch a Broadway show or a symphony concert that'll have you tappin' your toes or clutchin' your pearls (depending on the performance, of course). And if you're hankerin' for a taste of the Wild West, head over to the Fort Worth Water Gardens, where the world's largest choreographed fountains will have you thinkin' you're seein' a mirage (but it's real, we promise).
Night owls, Don't Fret!
Downtown Fort Worth ain't no ghost town after dark. Sundance Square transforms into a party zone, with live music spillin' out of bars, couples clinkin' glasses on patios, and laughter fillin' the air.
