Fort Worth is often an add-on to a Dallas; even the airport relegates Fort Worth to the second position. While the big D is certainly worthy of a family trip, Fort Worth has so many family friendly attractions, both free and not, that it merits its own trip.

Sundance Square/Downtown Fort Worth Attractions:

Cool off at Fort Worth Water Gardens in downtown Fort Worth, adjacent to the Fort Worth Convention Center and the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. The gardens feature three pools: aerating, quiet and active.

Named for the late oil mogul Sid Richardson, once known as the “bachelor billionaire,” the Sid Richardson Museum showcases his personal collection of the art, with a focus on the works of premier Western artists Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell.

    Don’t just watch – help out! the Fort Worth Herd Cow Camp  is an interactive experience with the equipment used during the cattle drive – for kids AND adults.

      Great timing! We’re GTT (Goin’ To Texas) for Spring Break in two weeks, visiting Granbury, a small town just 30 minutes south of Fort Worth. I can’t wait to check out these gems while we’re there! Thanks!
