 34 Reviews  There is simply not enough time to enjoy every exhibit of the Botanic Gardens, but if you are limited on time make sure to visit the Japanese Garden above any of the others.

Fort Worth Zoo

Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth

 17 Reviews  Whenever we do not have more than a weekend to take a break, we always end up choosing Fort Worth as our weekend destination. The reason for the easy choice is the world class zoo.

Sundance Square

Sundance Square, Fort Worth

Kimbell Art Museum

 13 Reviews  If you have a love of art I think you would enjoy this wonderful exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum which runs from March 15-June 14, 2009.

Fort Worth Water Gardens

Fort Worth Water Gardens, Fort Worth

 3 Reviews  When our daughter and grandson arrived in early June, we whisked them away to Fort Worth to sights they hadn't seen before. The Fort Worth Water Gardens recently re-opened after a hiatus of two years, so we added this to our list of stops. It was a boiling Texas afternoon, so the thought of being... 

Modern Art Museum

Modern Art Museum, Fort Worth

 9 Reviews  I enjoy art tremendously, but I have not always been fond of modern art, so I thought I would check it out and maybe something would change my mind. I will say, that some of the exhibits I just did not like or think they were not particularly interesting, but I do appreciate the artist talent and... 

National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame

National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, Fort Worth

 10 Reviews  That's another great spot we've been to, and like with the most places it's not easy to find any parking lots left unless you make it very much in time.

Reata

Reata, Fort Worth

 6 Reviews  We walked out of the Embassy Suites one night with the sole purpose of finding a steakhouse.

Railhead Smokehouse, Fort Worth

 7 Reviews  Great place! All of us VTers enjoyed the place and food. It's a bit crowdy yet they are very fast in serving the customers!

Nightlife  

Billy Bob's Texas

Billy Bob's Texas, Fort Worth

 11 Reviews  We made it there pretty late after the Rodeo, and missed Billy Bob's own bull riding show. Yep, this honky tonk, the world's largest honky tonk, has its own indoor rodeo/bull riding arena. Unbelievable but I have seen that place, it's true three acres! It has a Texas-size dance floor - Veronica... 

Sundance Square

Sundance Square, Fort Worth

 6 Reviews  Not that there is lots to see at night during the week at Sundance Square, but it closes up around 6-7PM.
