1. Kimbell Art Museum

Fort Worth's premier art museum, featuring paintings from international painters.
Reviewed By greekrabbit - Athens, Greece
I’m a museum maven and was expecting a good one. But the delight was in the details. For starters the Renoir exhibition has some old favorites last seen elsewhere. It was the ambiance of warm proximity to the master that was different. And better. Visiting old favorites in a laid back space gave them a fresh look. As for the facility: Our backstage look at the careful planning and meticulously maintained structures where a sparkling new Renzo Piano pavilion suppléments the grandiose Louis Kahn galleries was accompanied by a wealth of happily shared expertise from the brilliant Senior Deputy Director. It will be interesting indeed to revisit the Reniors back at their more formal Clark home. As got the Kimbell-Go for the architecture. Stay for the attitude. How to feel at home, even cozy, in the presence of genius.

The Amon Carter has just undergone a complete renovation of the museum itself. This facility renovation has provided a new platform to allow a redesign in the way the art is grouped and displayed along with some updated lighting. Amon Carter, the man, was a great supporter of Fort Worth and used his wealth to accumulate an extensive collection of American Art and display it for all to enjoy. Don't pass up the opportunity to view this collection.
3. Black Eyed Distilling Co.
Overall Ratings

The story behind the creation of BLK EYE Vodka started with a bold vision. With 100% Texas roots from farm to bottle, it’s the first vodka crafted by hand from black-eyed peas. The result is a smooth-tasting stroke of genius. At BlackEyed Distilling Co., we just believe an ultra premium experience should be evident from the first sip. Smooth. Subtle. Singular. That’s what being an original is all about.

I had herd about this vodka made with Black Eyed Peas. I said to myself,"There's no way someone made vodka out of delicious black eyed peas, not possible?" Well it was true folks! We loaded up and went to the Blackeyed Distillery in Fort Worth and it was amazing folks! Incredible flavor and very smooth vodka made and produced bib hand from farm fresh Texas Blackeyed Peas. The tour we took of the plant was amazing and and the folks form Blackeye where so much fun, crazy fun! This is a must see, much drink, and must do tour when your in Fort Worth or the DFW area. It's worth a 5 hour drive just to visit with these folks! Trey Chapman Foodie!

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.

We very badly wanted to see the last edition of the Stock Show Rodeo and did make it! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the Grand Entry and it was great to various rodeo events, enabling us to see a great variety of events. And here we are close to action. So glad this will not be torn down as the Dickies Arena comes on line in the fall of this year. We understand it will remain a focal point for equestrian events.
