| What To Visit In Fort Worth |
Where to Git Your Grub On (and Maybe See a Longhorn or Two)
First things first: chow time! Head on down to the legendary Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. This ain't no museum, folks, this is the real deal. We're talkin' twice-daily cattle drives (yep, you read that right), boot scootin' at Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honky-tonk (yeehaw!), and enough steakhouses to make your mouth water faster than a jackrabbit in a cactus patch. Don't forget to mosey on over to Mule Alley for some unique shops and a chance to snag a selfie with a real, live longhorn. Just mind those horns, partner!
Pro Tip: Channel your inner cowboy and learn to two-step. You might just impress a cute little filly (or fella) at the honky-tonk.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Culture Vultures Unite: A Feast for the Eyes (and Maybe the Brain a Little)
Fort Worth boasts some of the finest museums in the whole dang state, and maybe even the whole dang country! Art lovers will have a field day at the Kimbell Art Museum, housing masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso (fancy names for purty pictures). History buffs can saddle up and explore the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, where the Wild West comes alive on canvas. And if you're feelin' a little science-y, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has got you covered, with everything from dinosaurs to Egyptian mummies (don't worry, they're properly mummified, not shambling around).
Brain Break: Feeling overwhelmed by all that culture? Take a stroll through the Fort Worth Botanic Garden for a breath of fresh air and a chance to see some blooming beautiful flowers (and maybe a squirrel or two having a dance party).
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Bright Lights, Big City (Well, Not That Big, But Still Pretty Cool)
Sundance Square is the heart of downtown Fort Worth, and it's all glitz and glamor (Texas style, of course). Think fancy shops, live music venues, and enough restaurants to satisfy any craving. Catch a show at the Bass Performance Hall, or just wander around and soak up the atmosphere. At night, the whole place lights up like a Christmas tree, and you might even catch a glimpse of a real Texas millionaire (or at least someone who dresses like one).
Insider Tip: Feeling fancy? Head to one of the rooftop bars in Sundance Square for stunning views of the city and some delicious cocktails (perfect for pretending you're a high-powered executive, even if you're really just a tourist).
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
