 | Fort Worth Stockyard Station Reviews | 1 - 9 of 9 |  |
Stockyard Station shops are located in the old Stockyard pens. When this building was used in the early 1900's, animals were kept here and moved through walkways or tunnels to the packing plant.
A collection of 25 shops sale jewelry, souvenirs, candy, ice cream, clothing, Western gear, toys, wine, music CD's etc.
A Cowboy Chapel is set up for traveling cowboys visiting the area on the rodeo circuit. The vintage railroad depot is located in this area.
Our guide pointed out a pampered little kitty resting on a velvet pillow in a jewelry shop here. Her name is Opal and she makes sure the Stockyards remain her territory. She'll tolerate no other cat's paws on the premises. When we saw her cozied up on her pillow, we thought she looked harmless enough...but trespassing CATS beware! (See picture #2).
Hours for the Stockyards Shops are Mon.-Thurs. 10am-7pm; Fri. & Sat. 10 am-8pm; Sun. 12noon-6 pm. Restaurants are open daily.

The old stockyards have been turned into shops and restaurants and running through the middle are the train tracks for the Tarantula Train and the Stockyards train station. The atmosphere is really great and there is still a faint smell of livestock in the air which lends to the whole atmosphere of the area. There are a few restaurants and about a dozen or so shops including a wine shop selling only Texas wines where you can sample and have a chat to Corban.
If you're looking for something outrageously Texan, here is your place to shop. There is also a Candy store selling barrels of assorted candy by the pound. Leave a Comment

My fellow pressed penny afficionados will be pleased to hear that there is a pressed penny machine inside Stockyards Station. It has four different dies. I chose the one with the head of a longhorn steer that says Fort Worth, Texas on it. Leave a Comment Phone: 817-625-9715Directions: In the Stockyards neighbourhood. It's easy to take a bus there from either the Intermodal Center or Sundance Square.Website: http://www.stockyardsstation.com

Parking's closer to the visitor's center, $5 for a couple of hours.
Unique and charming, of course touristy with all the souvenir shops.
Depending on how you wanna 'have a taste' of Texas, I chose to have some Blue Bell ice-cream, which can be bought from some of the shops here.
There are benches outside these shops in case the guys aren't too interested in visiting the shops. If you're using a wheelchair, the path (made of bricks/ stones) in here's bumpy. And because this place is enclosed, it gets quite stuffy especially during the summer. Texas heat. What can you say?
More details, of course can be found on their website. Leave a Comment
