There are so many great options for museums and entertainment within a very small area. The Fort Worth Botanical Gardens is just to the south of the Will Rogers Coliseum, The Amon Carter Museum, Natural Science Museum (great for kids), Kimball Art Museum and Modern Art Museum are all within a couple of blocks of each other. It's a great place to spent some time.

A great day out visiting the Historical Stockyard district in Fort Worth. A visit to the Wild West Show is also worth considering, we did, and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the different aspects of the Wild West, from lassoing and shooting demonstrations, horsemanship, long horn cattle, Bison and much much more. One of the horse riders was a 8 year old girl and she was brilliant. Afterwards there was a excellent parade of horses through the streets which included a Father Christmas in cowboy gear riding on a stagecoach pulled by Mules. And finally a visit to the actual stockyards is well worth doing to see the different long horns, and for $5 dollars you can be pictured sitting on one. A great day out.

Sundance Square is a hidden gem. As you drive by, if you blink you may miss it. Best option is to park in the Sundance square Garage across from the Bass Performance Hall and walk approx 1.5 blocks to get to Sundance Square - Very relaxing to just sit and enjoy the ambiance, especially at night when the lights are on/changing, the water fountain is going and the buildings around you light up. you might get lucky and even get some live music while you are there.

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I stopped here on my way to Abilene, the price is very fair. I spent 2 Hours strolling the grounds, I would highly suggest purchasing the fish food because the koi in the ponds are huge and follow you around and were sorely disappointed when I had nothing to give them. Because of covid the only option is to purchase it for $2 in the lobby, they do not take Apple Pay and I left my money in my car because I did not anticipate needing it. Also all the fountains are covered and again they have water in the lobby and there is a cafe at the other end but nothing in between so plan accordingly. Loved the turtles.
