When I told a friend from Dallas that we were going to tour Texas in a week, he only laughed. Afterwards, he told me not to miss the Fort Worth Stockyards because that is the best place in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to truly get the Cowboy Experience. He was right, don’t miss this place. more

We were there for the National Cowboy Day this past weekend. There were all kinds of events and demonstrations. My 7 year old LOVED it and said that it was the best part of our 5 day vacation in Dallas. more

I went hoping to find out the history of the stockyards, and I found it. I went to the information and tours building and there was a lovely and helpful lady who told me all kinds of things. Then I went and rented a GPS unit, it does a guided speaking tour, with directions on where to walk. It was... more

Stockyards was worth the trip. Watch the long horns at 11 & 4. The rodeo at Cowntown was excellent. Wanted to purchase boots and checked a few places -- purchased them at Fincher's (excellent selection and service). Billy Bobs is a must see more

This is what you came to texas to see.... cowboys, long horns, western wear, country music, good beer, steak. and BBQ. Definately a touristy spot. You got to eat and spend some time at Billie Bob's. Can't find anyplace like that in New York. You can be sure that somewhere around the stockyards will be the place to buy your... more

We loved visting the Stockyards! Felt like we were really in what we thought Texas should look like! Cowboys, longhorns, and belt buckles, oh my! Went during the evening and missed the 4:00 cattle drive by minutes. Had dinner at the famous Jose Garcias. BEAUTIFUL restaurant--yummy fajitas and stunning outdoor seating. Next day came back for 11:30 cattle drive and... more

I love going here, there is so much history and so much to do. This time I took my two oldest grandchildren, 6 and 7 to the Cowboy Museum and the Livery. We also watched the cattle drive, which happens twice daily. We got ice cream and people watched. A great way to spend quality time. And the Candy Store... more
