Lot of Family fun at The Stockyards!Kinda busy on the weekends...During the week is less crowded & you can Social Distance

We ate a Riscky’s dinner then walked the street at night with friends. Christmas lights, booths and shops and live music. Because of the NFR, the road and sidewalks were packed with jolly people. And you could see their smiling faces. It’s my idea of an old west town.

So many great shops!!! A wide variety of trinkets, souvenirs, clothing, boots, hide rugs, hats, housewares, restaurants. Too much to even mention! The homemade candle shop with the crystals that glow was a great shop- many yummy smelling candles.

Its a great place to visit. They have little shops, bars, restaurants, and many other things . Also, the cattle goes down the street while you standby and watch, which I thought was pretty cool! Its definitely worth checking out in my opinion.

Fort Worth Stockyards Station is definitely a place you must add to your bucket list while visiting Fort Worth! First off, be sure to observe the daily Cattle Drive, then browse the many gift shops followed by lunch at one of the many abundant dining options!

A must visitWith a twice-daily cattle drive, at 11:30 a.m and 4 p.m. you can seen the massive long horns on the long horn cattle, totally unmanageable in any crush in todays farming.This is a very busy place with loads of places to eat, places to buy absolutely anything.

I love it here always a fun spot to have a great time an set you into an old world. this place is alot too walk which means it never gets old.Love when they bring the long horns threw the town I hope that never stops seeing the horses work with the long horns is something most wont ever see in their lifes...Please enjoy some of the photos I have provided..Glad to see Texas an the Stockyards thriving during this covid stuff..Its nice they allow people to keep living there lifes.An yes they have change somethings for public safety mask cleaning ect... So dont get scared go out an live life you only have one!!!!!

While it was cool seeing the small group of longhorns, I didnt much enjoy the crowds of gathering people in an area that doesnt require masks. There are come cute shops that we purchased some items for the kids, but after the longhorns came through, we opted to head out. It is touristy and thats why we were there, so I wont knock that, just it a bit much for us in these COVID times, thats all.

This place is so much fun to visit and explore its unbelievable. It’s like being transported into s time machine. Friday & Saturday are the best times to visit. Go early as they have shows, one at 11, the other at 4pm. There are two shows which are free and prominent. The cattle drive (cows walking in the street) and the Wild West show (which is inside the stockyard itself). It does get hot so be sure to wear sunblock. Parking and the lack of drinks and snacks options are a pain.

Had such fun..will be taking my boys there

Loved watching the longhorns getting herded down the street by the Cowboys! There was a live band, Wild West show with Indians, a rodeo every Friday and Saturday nights and lots of rustic bars and restaurants. Make sure you walk up to the top of the hill to check out the cool bars and eateries! The Basement Bar is a must visit! Also grab a beer and bite at Booger Reds!

Great food but they say us where everyone was having parties. I was freezing because I was next to a window and our waitress was overloaded so it took forever to get drinks. Kudos for the effort. I had to take my food home because it got cold really fast. Due to the window.

Lots of shops to buy good stuff. Must visit to candy shop and trading post. Lively place with lots of activities and live music. You can view cattle’s from viewing gallery and take a click with cowboys. They will answer all your questions about animals. Don’t miss cattle’s on road while they return at 4 pm. Enjoy spending time with friends and family and get real Texas feel.

I absolutely loved it.. My husband took me here for my Birthday today!! We came here Back here in July for our Anniversary!! I really enjoyed myself, seeing he horses and loved the food.. This is an awesome place to come!!

True history alot of old friends and always new friends gained. Tons of things to do STOCKYARDS CHAMPIONSHIP RODEO,THE HEARD. BILLY BOBSGREAT EATING PLACESGREAT SHOPPING.CATTLEMEN STEAKHOUSERISKYS BAR BBQ, And steakhouse H3 steakhouseAnd much more.

Loved it, great food. Nice shops. A lot of new things coming. Always make a trip to the stock yards. Neat place, lots of fun & lots to see & do.

Great locations, variety of bars ,saloons, and restaurants. Lots of interesting historical areas, specialty stores, candy shops. Ballrooms and halls available for weddings, debuts, etc. Not many people practicing social distancing, or wearing masks.

Great time, just wish people would actually social distance if theyre going to choose not to wear a mask. Appreciate businesses and people who are making it safe for others though.

A must see and visit if in the Ft Worth area. The area has expanded with beautiful new shops and restaurants. See that cattle drive!

For my first time i like it, and im from miami

Too crowded at times but never a dull moment. Good for a night out too.

The Stockyards is a must see if visiting Fort Worth. Great dining options and fun for the family

What a wonderful place to visit with the family. The longhorn cattle drive happens twice a day at 11:30 am and 4pm. Get there early to be able to stand under a shade tree and enjoy the show. After this there are a few fun attractions for the kids, lots of shopping stores and delicious BBQ and burgers.Stay the night and the street lights up with bars, restaurants and music. Just an all around great fun time the whole family will enjoy day and night. We had a lot of fun and can’t wait to be back.

This should be a bucket list item for sure! There was a Cattle Auction happening VIA video feed in the building that also houses the museum. It was interesting.The cattle drive was different from what I expected.....these cows have done the same walk for so long twice daily that they just mosey thru.... its not like the cattle drives in the movies...(fast and exciting) it is still something you would like to see...There are usually a couple of Longhorns (complete with their own Cowboys) on the sidewalk available for you to take pictures on (saddled up) or beside. Very tame Longhorns. Very nice Cowboys... cost for a picture on the Longhorn was only 5.00 and they allowed as many pics as you felt like taking.There is a saddle and leather shop that is a must see. Many little souvenir shops mixed in on main street. There is a petting zoo for the children. I would allow a half day for all of this at most.....and you will see everything you want to see and more.

What can I say? We love it here and continue to return again and again. Grab a beer, enjoy the atmosphere and do some shopping. Take in the rodeo and it’s a fantastic day. Don’t miss the cattle drive either. What an awesome place!

The only standing peace of the old west. Super family friendly.

One of my earliest memories was seeing this stockyard station (not to be confused with the stock show which has more of a carnival atmosphere, though admittedly it has more actual stock.) This place is famous for the tarantula train, which unfortunately I didnt see upon my visit. Still visible are the layers of time that have largely been unchanged; you will see remnants of knob-and-tube electrical wiring as well as the original gate system that has started to fall apart with age. The areas where cattle would be transported through the structure, as well as moved into the train cattle cars should also not be overlooked amid the consumerism (which I highly recommend if you happen to be a tourist needing a souvenir, as anywhere else it might be hard to find something like this.) I only stopped by to photograph the building, and was only there near the closing time, so I was able to avoid the $10 parking fee.

It was a little overwhelming because of the crowd but once you find your grounds for exploring, you can see steers and horses up close. In addition, if you find yourself there at 1130am or 4pm you can catch the cattle drive and a comedy gun shoot out. Parking is a plentiful but be prepared to pay $7 on weekdays or $10 on weekends. Only upside, it’s all day. The stores there are full of gifts but it’s the standard tourist finds.

It’s so thick with Texan culture here that it is truly an experience just going to be there. Just to see the roads and buildings and taste the food. A little piece of the past saved in ritual of the bulls running and style of buildings in the stockyards. Beautifully maintained. Very safe.

Good setvice. Great steak. Nice drink selection. Several unique mixed drinks.Historic. Stockyard icon.

My Family and I Love walking around and being able to see so many long horns and being able to eat at the same time and shop we Love it!

Such a fun place to go in Fort Worth with the family! Walking around, watching the cattle drive, cruising the souvenir shops, grabbing some food and drinks... so much to do for a relaxing afternoon with good family time. There are many photo opportunities that will leave you with great memories for years to come!

We stopped here during some down-time on a business trip to Dallas. This was aa very interesting place to visit. There was some very nice craftsmanship in a lot of the items sold here.If I ever make it back this way again Ill be sure to stop in and look around again.

This places has lots to do. Stores, restaurants, bars even a train.

Had a fun day here. From out of Texas visiting family friends and we decided to spend an afternoon at the Stockyard.The Cow parade (or whatever its called) was pretty cool. We got there too late for the 11am one, but lunch and some shopping later it was time for the 4pm one. They bring out a number of longhorn cows ~10? and March them down the street with some cavalry escorts. Pretty cool to watch. Everyone lines up along the street to take photosTheres also a good number of activities you can participate in. Would be fun for kids!

Old West atmosphere meets honky tonk. The White Elephant is a great bar to kick back and watch some live music. Billy Bobs is massive. I had the opportunity to see Blake Shelton live in a surprise concert. Highly recommend visiting.

I loved this place, but just like every other buffet, I over ate.Do yourself a favor and give It a try.YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.

Great food, great fun. Country dancing at country places downtown not so great

The best i ever been to sence covid-19this is a good place to bring kids and it serve good food and i reccomend bring the whole family or just you ot doesnt matter.I wish i could list all the stuff there but there sooo much

Great place for a nice stroll to shop and eat!!

So much to do and see. Will need all day to experience it all. Wild west reenactments. Petting zoo. Shops for damn near everything. Restaurants all smelled so good. A day well spent.

Anything western you want, its there! Just a very cool place, loved it!!

If you wanna see the cattle walk you have two options. If you are a early bird you can go see the walk 11am in the morning. And don’t worry you have a second chance at 4pm. It’s worth to wait till see the cattle walk. You might be amazed by the long horn. There is a catch to consider. A guy there and directing people does very bad jokes. Here is the joke. Why some cows have a bell on it? Because their horns doesn’t work . Consider the watching rodeo starts at 8pm. You can eat, see live music . I enjoyed my time. Parking fee is 7$.

Fun place that you must come when you visit Dallas.You will back to the old time Texas.And also you can taste some good Texas food in here.Buy something interesting item in here also.and you can see some show feel the old time Texas.Enjoy!

We enjoyed our selves! Mostly tourists in the area. Fun times!

What a great place to just walk around and see some huge Long Horn cows, horses! Petting zoo as well! Leashed dogs are welcomed! Love all the shops! If you need souvenirs this is your place!

There is always something new to discover on the Fort Worth Stockyards. A lot of thing to do and see on few blocks. The catle drive is a must seen. You cant miss the watching deck to get a closer look of the long horns in between catle drives. BBQ is the best meal you can enjoy at Stockyards.

Great place to visit! Full of fascinating history that wasn’t all too long ago! Great mini shops around and throughout as well.

Good place to visit if you visit fort Worth. Prepare to stay for more than a couple hours if you want to take the train and see the cow parade.

Many vendors make up their own hours and close very early, but some are at least open late enough to visit after work with great prices on local swag.

This is a great place to visit. There are shops and great steak houses and plenty of history to witness every day. In 200 years... this place held a serious importance to our culture and way of life for 30 of those years. A small drop in the bucket, but nonetheless important. The stockyards at Fort Worth was the primary reason that beef reached the Eastern seaboard and as such, should be preserved as such. Come visit. Shop. Watch the longhorn cattle being moved from pasture to pen. Embrace were our families got their meat. A 30 year snapshot in time can be found at the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Ive enjoyed coming up the Stockyards since I was a little kid. Recently I had the privilege of being part of the SMOKED Fort Worth festival where many great BBQ joints from all across Texas got to showcase their talents. Enjoy the pics and hope yall have fun when visiting the Fort Worth Stockyards!

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Exceeded my expectations! There were so many shops to see and things to do, check out the Stockyard Railway shops, several general store type shops to enjoy.

When you visit this place you feel the ancient history of every part here

Love me some Coopers Beef Ribs! They are Huuuugh!

Visit this place for a day long picnic with friends or family and visit the Texan legacy.The place has been marvelously preserved and converted into a happening tourist spot.There are many activities that happen here especially during weekends.There are many shops selling cowboy and other Texas linked souvenirs and restaurants offering authentic Texan meals like beef burgers, beers and more!The maze activity and horse rides add fun. There is also cattle feeding that you can get to see. Plan your visit well by visiting their website. The place closes sharp at 7.00 so better to arrive early and enjoy every bit of it.Many picturesque spots are there too to capture the fun moments with family.

Historical and fun place to visit & explore, Family, Groups, Couples welcome here. Be sure and visit All the areas around the Colosseum youll find some neat shops and attractions. Laser shooting and war museum are hidden, plan a full day. Longhorns come from the west side @11:30 and far east side @4. Get there 10-15min early for best picture taking spots

Loved walking around the town and shops. I used to come here all the time when I was little but its been years so I brought my husband when we visited home. We also did the horse rides which was super fun! I had Elsa and he had Marshal.

We go almost every time we are in the area. We have yet to see a rodeo show but will one day. My favorite spot is the tea and spice shop!

Spent a truly wonderful day, visiting shops, eating at a variety of restaurants, watching the trail drive, and viewing all of the different exhibits and museums. Visited during the week but plan on going back to attend the wild West show and or the rodeo. Cant visit fort Worth without experiencing the old fort Worth area where the coliseum dates 1903.

The Stockyards is a historical place where cattle, longhorns, pigs were driven in herds to market to be sold. The original stalls are still there where they were held until sold. The original brick streets are still there. It has been modernized with tourist shops around it but you can see and feel the history of the place as you walk those bricks. Each day there is a cattle drive through there to recreate those that took place so long ago.

Considering Covid regulations, there were many things we could not explore but we still had a good time. Really appreciate the benches placed throughout. Loved the live music. Rather disappointed in the cattle herding. We thought we would see many but only 3 cowboys and maybe 8-10 cattle.

The stockyard is my backyard!! I have nothing but the best time times and greatest memories! this us what being a Texan is all about!!

The Fort Worth Stockyards is definitely an area to experience! The cobble roads really added to the historic atmosphere. The shops have wide selection of western merchandise that makes unique gifts or souvenirs. The General Store has many interesting items for adults and children, including candy from your childhood! The various restaurants make it difficult to select where to eat because they all have delicious food choices on the menu! If you are looking for western gear, this is the place to find it. We saw cowboys on horses, the cattle drive and attended an entertaining Rodeo. The atmosphere is exciting and a must-see!!

This is a fairly typical tourist destination. There are some interesting local shops and a few dining establishments; however, most souvenirs are not locally produced and that is regrettable. The ambience is authentic and comfortable.

Who doesnt love Cowtown?! Ive never experienced bad service from any vendor whether its the young men leading the horse coral for kids to having a good time at Billy Bobs or getting sweets from one of the shops. Having been a flight attendant, Ive had my fair share of cool places and whenever my friends visit from out of town they always love it when I bring them here. 10/10

Very nice and lots of things to see, love the Long horn cow run

Had a good time here. Lots of things to do here, and there’s something for everyone. Tons of parking in the area which is convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

I love this place so much! It’s very unique and completely Texas! It’s a fun place to take visitors and I enjoy going on the weekends just to eat at one of the steakhouses or just walk through the shops. The shopping and the dining are worth the drive every time.

A great place to walk around and shop in interesting stores unique to Fort Worth.

While visiting friends they brought us to the stockyards and there is so many things to do. There are plenty of restaurants and gift shops and twice a day the have an old fashioned cattle drive with cowboys that look like are straight from the 1800s. We had a great time and will be back someday.

Even with the mask, we still enjoyed the sticky arms visit and lunch at Riskys BBQ!

If you’re anywhere near here it’s a must see. We missed the cattle drive and any of the shows as we were on a time schedule and just passing by. We’re so glad we stopped anyhow. You can easily spend a day here exploring eating and enjoying the Stockyards. Really cool place.

A wonderful taste of what it must have been like in the old west combined with great shopping a quick bite food. Parking will cost between $2-15 depending on what is going on. Remember your license plate number as that is how you pay at the kiosk. Walk the streets, watch the longhorns escorted down the streets at 11:30 and 4:00 each day. Nice place for a few hours and if you have small kids you have a maze, a petting zoo and live music. Honky Tonk like bars and restaurants line the streets as do many souvenir stores, but check out Mavericks or J Reddy for legitimate high end Western Wear.

Although is a tourist attraction, it is definitely worth checking out. There are a bunch of little shops you can check out as well as seeing old buildings and the entertainment. There are also daily stampedes twice a day. Has a lot of fun walking around and exploring the whole area.

Dont miss the daily cattle drive of longhorn steers down the central street of the stockyard. A real blast from the past!Also visited one of the many bbq restaurants in the stockyards, Rickys, and ordered the brisket sandwich. I really liked the food and the friendly service.

I enjoy the Fort Worth Stockyards every time I go and I take tourists, family and friends! Chindren love the Petting Zoo. My favourite is the Texas Longhorns cattle drive. The shows are great too! Im going to wear my cowboy hat I bought there, my boots and jeans! I am an official Texas cowgirl!

Welcome to the old west. We spent about 3 hours in this area. Saw the steers walking down the street and did some shopping. They had a few dining options, lots of unique shops and some things for the kids like a petting zoo and mechanical bull riding. Parking was available onsite for a fee - I think we paid about $10 for the time we were there. Im glad we stopped in to check it out.

Great place to take the family. We have always enjoyed every visit to the stockyards.

Fun step back in time. Watch the Longhorns walk down the main street and a gunfight by period actors. Get your picture sitting on a long horn for $5. There is a rodeo in the Coliseum Friday and saturday nights. Typical Texas souvenir shops and friendly people. Parking easy and the entire area feels safe.

Very cool place to visit, they have about everything

So much fun! Longhorns walk through the streets at precisely 4pm. Very Texas touristy.

This place is pretty amazing! The Wild West is alive in Fort Worth, Texas. Carriage rides, shopping, dining, rodeo, running of the bulls, entertainment for all ages! If you havent been to the Stockyards, you are truly missing out. We will be back!

It is definitely a tourist trap. Now that I got that out of the way. Its definitely worth going to at least once if you are in town. It is very cool and interesting. It is in the middle of nowhere. One side is just abandoned buildings and just the vibe of you are not in Kansas anymore. The other side is a lot of construction. However between all that is a piece of gold. It is a old Western town with a huge covered outside mall? I dont know what else to call it. There are a lot of Texas themed gift shops (pretty much a given in a tourist area) and a lot of restaurants. BBQ and the boring burger joints. There is a old train that literally comes through the center of the place which you can ride. The Texas longhorns are there and you can see them and do a lot for free when it comes to the livestock. The roads and walkways are brick and there is only one road through for traffic which is nice. There are Texas longhorns out and horses walking around most of the day. like I said. It is worth the trip at least once. You wont be disappointed.

Cool to walk around, and all of the little shops were very nice!

Nice place to visit with family or friends, souvenirs shops, restaurants with cow specific meal and of course the Texas longhorn cattle breed that can be seen in the station a few times a day.

Cant even describe how much I love this place! Horseback riding, cattle run, all the shops. Music and atmosphere is just perfect!!

Great place to see the old cowboy culture alive and well in Texas. We didnt spend much time down here, but I could have spent days enjoying the attractions and trying every restaurant. There is a balance between real history and commercial retail stores. This is the kind of place you want to buy some cowboy boots, just to be able to say you got them at the Stockyards!!!

Fun place. Loved the cows. Unfortunately we could only spend one hour here, because we had a plane to catch. Definitely wanna come back some day.

A great experience. Its a journey through time. This place has a great history attached to it. Must visit if in DFW area. There are quite a lot of options for shopping as well in the market area.

Lots of little shops, you can ride a mechanical bull, an old fashion train, stage coach, wagon. They have a cattle drive with cowboys and long horn steer. Lots of places to eat. Cool place to check out.

Family friendly, plenty of space to distance yourself from others .

What a super visit, coming from the UK this was delightful, on the next visit the plan is too arrive earlier as so much too see, I highly recommend . Many great cowboy shops, super leather goods, nice craft gifts, fun daily show, good choice of souvenirs.

They have a cattle drive twice a day and the area is full of shops and places to eat. Very nice atmosphere and full of history.

So much to do and see in this area. Cattle drive twice a day, lots of bar and restaurant options, shopping and train rides all within walking distance. For $5 have your picture taken sitting on top of one of these guys. Plenty of kid activities, shows in the arena and enough to keep you busy for a couple days.

Wow..this place was neat..nice shops..and a great family atmosphere..

It became more of a ritual in our family to visit the Stockyards every 6 months. My kids love it every time. You have lots to do within the stockyard itself. Make sure to have a good 3 hours allocated for this visit. And you can find $5 parking closeby.

Took the Grapevine Labor Day train ride to the stockyards! What a pleasant surprise! Shops, restaurants, mechanical bull ride, petting zoo, museum, Native jewelry, cowboy/girl boots, hats, and so much fun!!A must place to come and best with a train to get you there !! All aboard.....

So fun! A great tourist spot. Lots of shopping and good eats. Summer is brutal but worth it! Parking is $10. Bring cash for petting zoo, longhorn pictures and wagon rides. There is so much to see, a 2-day trip might even be a better option especially if its hot and you have kiddos.

Stand down by the footpath and the cattle will walk over the street. Would recommend parking at free place and walk up this place rather parking at this place.
