Day 2 - Fort Worth Stockyards
Home » Texas » Dallas Seven Day Itinerary » Day 2 - Fort Worth StockyardsAlthough this isn’t technically in Dallas, it’s definitely worth the short trip to Fort Worth. Considered one of Texas’ most popular tourist attractions, the Fort Worth Stockyards give visitors a taste of Texas past.
With rodeos, twice-daily cattle herdings and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into the Old West. With many shops featuring Cowboy-themed apparel and gifts, you can dress the part as well. The Stockyards also host daily, weekly and annual events. There are both pay and free parking lots located throughout the stockyards.
Several restaurants offer authentic southern and cowboy dishes such as okra and barbeque. Also available at many of the shops is Dublin Dr. Pepper, the original Dr. Pepper formula that is made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar.
For supper, you can head back to an area closer to your hotel or go and check out something in downtown Fort Worth.
