A historical district in Fort Worth, the Stockyards is a must-see for any Fort Worth tourist. It has plenty of bars, restaurants, and cute shops. Every day, the Fort Worth herd cattle drive can be watched at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM. And if you're into it, you can watch a rodeo every Friday and Saturday at the Cowtown Coliseum.

Ranked as one of the best zoos in the country, the Fort Worth Zoo has plenty to offer for adults and kids. You can feed the giraffes! That alone should convince you to go.

For art enthusiasts, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art is the spot to go to. Housing numerous American paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, this museum will surely wow you.

One of the biggest and most beautiful arboretums we have ever been to. This is where we got engaged and where we subsequently had our engagement photos taken. Be careful visiting in July, however. Take it from us: bring some ice-cold water.

A specialized museum dedicated to the legacy and assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, this is located in the very same building from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot him.

A superb science museum for adults and kids alike. We cannot recommend this museum enough.

While technically not in Dallas, this museum is close enough for friends and family who may be interested in driving to Frisco, TX.
