Ft. Worth

Favorite thing: Forth Worth is divided into 3 distinct districts. The Cultural District is only minutes from the busy downtown area, and provides wonderful art galleries, museums, entertainment, sporting venues, and of course beautifully laid out gardens.
The Historic District is where you will get a feel of the American West. The Stockyards covers 125 acres.
There is the rodeo, Billy Bobs, great sounvenir and western clothing stores as well as being able to see the worlds only daily cattle drive.
The Downtown area is more the business area but not without its attractions, entertainment, good restaurants and the charm of their constant efforts in preservation.

Tarantula Train

Favorite thing: This old 1896 restored steam train rolls into the Stockyards Station twice daily from Grapevine. The name of the train comes from an old 1873 railroad map which showed the city as the central station with routes stretching out like the legs of a spider. The coaches date back to 1925 and the train follows the 21 mile route of the Cotton Belt line.

Rodeos are held every Friday and Saturday nights and features steer wrestling, calf roping, team roping and barrow racing not to mention traditional bull riding.

Cattle Raisers Museum
