A Little bit of Country, a Little bit of RockBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Cattle Drive
When visiting fort worth you must and I cannot stress must visit the stock yards. The stock yards have been converted from what were actually live stock yards to a posh, dinning, shopping, and music area. You can also do wine tasting, pet a long horn cow, see an old west shoot out right on the street, shop til you drop and just hang out and have a great time.

Quick Tips:

If you are sensitive to heat, stay away from the entire state of Texas in the summer months to late August. Its really hot here.

Best Way To Get Around:

It's best if you visit fort worth in a car, there are busses but I would not suggest riding them.

Billy Bob's TexasBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Billy Bob's Texas Nightclub & bars"

What is there not to like about BBs? Maybe you don't like country music, its ok if you don't like country. Billy Bob's also features other types of music, pop, rock. They have Hootie and the Blowfish coming soon and I plan to attend.

Ladies, Wednesday night is free!

This is a high energy place that is a lot of fun. I have seen the crowd get a bit rowdy but not out of hand like other local area nightclubs.

Train
Choo-choo, all aboard! We love taking the round trip ride from Grapevine to the Stockyards, you can get off at the SY and do shopping and eating as the train runs several times a day. You can also choose different routes. http://www.grapevinesteamrailroad.com/schedule.asp

There is also a bit of entertainment, you may get Lucky and see some train robbers, LOL.

This is the worlds largest indoor rodeo. A real Texas treat. Us Texans await this every year, it's a rodeo, a stock show, a craft fair, and all around party. The weather is just right to travel to FW and there are so many events going on.

Trinity ParkBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

It's a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life, right here in the middle of the city. A great place to bike, relax, have a picnic, and just hang out. Personally, I enjoy feeding the ducks and finding a shady place under the trees to have a bite to eat. This is a great park and very well maintained. Worth a visit or a lunch break.
