Agave Hurricane Trail Company

We specialize in trail rides to places around the DFW Texas metroplex such as Lake Grapevine, Copper Canyon, and Ray Roberts. We have many trails to choose from, so your trail ride won't be the same every time you come riding with us. If you know of another set of trails in the DFW area you would like to ride, let us know and we will try to accommodate you. The horseback riding is offered year round.

Benbrook Stables

Reviewed By dougfmftw - Fort Worth, United States

Right away there was good feel to Benbrook Stables. The people were upbeat and glad to help us. (Another place I previously checked out had no smiles, and I heard they experience fairly high turnover.) Went on the one hour trail ride with our eight and thirteen year old grand daughters, and they both liked it very much. The eight year old commented that she liked her horse better than at our last such experience. Interesting and good that as we walked off the property that we right away went on to the trail system at Lake Benbrook. 90 horses on the property with 60 of those being borders.

Fort Worth Zoo

City zoo that presents animal habitats as they exist in the world.

Reviewed By tenerifegreg - Kaiserslautern, Germany

I went to the Ft Worth Zoo on a Wednesday, when the cost of admission is half-price. Tickets must be purchased in advance online, in order to take advantage of this saving. The zoo was somewhat empty, due to COVID-19 precautions, but in a way, it was far more enjoyable without as many people. My favorite was the parakeet cage, where you can pay $1.00 and get a stick of birdseed to feed the parakeets with. The elephant exhibit was closed due to remodelling, but there are plenty of other areas to see - primate exhibit, reptile exhibit, penguin, large cats, etc. There's a Texas Town exhibit with a children's petting zoo, and a Texas History 101 walk-through that teaches responsible ecological preservation, and care for the environment. I enjoyed that, perhaps most of all. Some of the gift shops and restsurants are closed, or at minimal staffing due to COVID precautions. The front gift shop had some toy monster trucks for sale, 50% off, for a very reasonable price. If you get the chance, make sure to ride the zoo train. It's a pleasant experience for the entire family.

Trinity Park

35 Miles Of Paved And Natural-surface Paths Winding Their Way Through Several Of The City's Many Parks.

Reviewed By michaelbA4173FB - Fort Worth, United States

Although not completely connected to dedicated bike paths, it is quite possible to do “Y” rides of 50+ miles. Afternoons on weekends get a tad crowded with families out for a stroll spread across the trail, but otherwise very pleasant, pretty flat. Check the trail maps to see where you can go. Mellow Johnny’s bike shop and Press Cafe (near Mutts in ClearFork) are handy for start/stop/trailhead. Ride North along the West Fork to/past the falls to a trail head or follow the river south east to the boat house and beyond. I ride from Mira Vista, so there are some street miles (some with marked bike lanes).

The Golf Club Fossil Creek

Designed by Arnold Palmer, this 18-hole championship golf course stretches 7,112 yards at Par 72.

Reviewed By gener372 - Oklahoma City, United States

Very, Very pleasantly surprised. Arnie’s last course he designed before passing away. A golf community done extremely well - we lived in one so we know. The course is a links type loop winding throughout the community with plenty of water and ponds and scenery. A mix of homes, condo’s and apartments all positioned not too close to the holes but something to look at, all upper middle class. The course mid-length at ~6400 from the blues and 6800 from the back tees. Everything very nicely maintained and a fairly high level. Greens were rolling around 11 on the stimp that and very true. We paid for 4 but played two so the wives could ride along and we did not have to make nice with strangers. And we kept at a very nice pace of play only waiting maybe twice - as a twosome, but we were talking quite a bit. Bar at the first tee/ range / starter Nice touch. Nice halfway house - great food. All and all a very good value
