Get a taste of the Old West. The Stockyards probably have more Cowboy Hat shops and Steakhouses per square mile than anywhere else on Earth. Great place to walk around and get a bolo tie and see the Cowtown Coliseum. The longhorns take the streets several times a day, so don't miss them!

Fort Worth Zoo

This is legitimately one of my favorite places ever. It is a top-ranked zoo in the world! There is even a whole section on just animals in Texas/Mexico. And the "MOLA" (Museum of Living Art) is an incredible reptile house.

Fort Worth Water Gardens

In Downtown FortWorth! You can walk down into this huge sculpture. It was in a movie that my mom is obsessed with. It's a nice park to wander around and climb on stuff.

Check out a game while you are in town! There are series against the Oakland A's and New York Yankees on wedding weekend! If you don't want to get tickets You can watch at Texas Live! right next door. The old stadium is my absolute favorite place so you might want to go for a tour.

Hang out at the original Six Flags: Six Flags Over Texas. I think you can still bring a can a Coca-Cola to get cheaper prices on tickets.

I did a lot outside of Dallas and Fort Worth, so If you want any other suggestions I'm full of information!
