days out from Fort Worth

There are lots of different ideas on here, but Ft Worth has MANY things you can do without even leaving the city, or you can venture out into neighboring towns.

Here are some ideas:

--Ft Worth Zoo and nearby the botanic and Japanese gardens

--Fossil Rim Drive through wildlife park-@ an hour or so away in Glen Rose and also Dinosaur Valley State Park

--Grapevine wineries, also great shops in the old town square

--Stockyards--many restaurants including some great Mexican rest. and of course Billy Bobs

--Sundance square-great restaurant and shops

--If you like Baseball--hopefully the Rangers will still be playing in Arlington??

There is a thread called ';Ft Worth Favorites'; on this forum that has many more ideas. If you give us some specifics on what your interests are, you may get more ideas!!

You%26#39;ll love Ft. Worth!!

Hi Guys%26#39;Gals

Thanks for your ideas have been to Fort Worth before this is our second trip we will be coming out for a week then the old folks join us for a week we have access to a car as relatives may be working some of the time so looking for activities for middle aged and older generations. How is the parking in Fort Worth. Did Stockyards, Dallas last year so looking for what the %26#39;locals%26#39; like to do

Would like to do a baseball game will be coming out 28 Aug - 13 Sept

I was going to recommend a Fort Worth Cats baseball game but they are out of town for the last games of the season in August. However, you can catch the Texas Rangers in Arlington Sept 1-2 (makeup doubleheader on the 1st) and Sept 11-13.

Parking in Fort Worth is actually quite easy most of the time. Downtown, in the Sundance Square area parking is free after 5pm and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Plus downtown retailers can validate your parking as well. Here%26#39;s a link to a map that might be helpful.

My favorite place downtown is sitting on the rooftop patio at Reata (the patio at 8.0 is 2nd) and in the Stockyards having a beer at the White Elephant.

Depending on whether you like museums, Fort Worth has some of the best. Even if you don%26#39;t care for art, lunch at the Modern or the Kimbell is terrific.

Here is a little known museum that I enjoyed going to: Civil War Museum. It is at Clifford St and I20. It is small but to me well worth the $%26#39;s to see a part that Texas had in that era. They also have a room full of dresses from that period which I thought was cool but very thankful I did not live in the time. :P
