A Wild West Time Machine! If you want the ultimate Texas experience, the Fort Worth Stockyards is the place to be. Walking along the original brick streets, you truly feel the spirit of the Old West. Why it’s special: Known as "Cowtown," this district was a vital stop on the legendary Chisholm Trail. By the early 20th century, it was one of the world's largest livestock markets. Today, that history is kept alive by the Fort Worth Herd—the world's only twice-daily cattle drive featuring majestic

Great place to see, so much going on. The atmosphere was brilliant. We looked around at the shops and stopped for a milkshake. Would recommend but the parking is rather expensive so if you go for a while you are better getting a Lyft. we were there 1 1/2 hours and it cost £22.

The stock yards changed my life. I was so impressed with the stock yards - the cowboys and everything there was so welcoming and friendly.

Fort Worth Stockyards is an absolute must-see! Be sure to plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time — there is so much to do and experience.
Definitely catch a rodeo if you can, walk through all the shops, and make sure you’re there to see the Longhorn cattle drive down the street — it’s such a cool, iconic experience. The food is great, there’s live music everywhere, and the shops are fun and unique.
This place truly captures the Texas vibe. Highly recommend taking your time and soaking it

I have been wanting to go to the Stockyards for some time, so we finally made it down there. Perhaps i should have read more reviews. I enjoyed the cattle drive even though it was short. I heard many, including my husband, state they wish there were more cattle.
I would have liked to see more, but we were there on a weekday and as many people that were still present and did NOT listen to the announcements, I would hate to see the drive be longer and the handlers have to walk through more people
