Lots of exercise as it is a large zoo with many exhibits. They had the dinoroar which my kids really enjoyed. The parrot haven is amazing. The birds fly and eat off sticks right around you. We have the family membership and it is worth every penny of it. Speaking of pennies they also have various machines located throughout the zoo that smashes and puts imprints of animals. Gives kids something to collect without spending lots of money. Nice souvenier shops.

The stockyard station is Texas to a T! You can have BBQ dinners or watch a cattle drive all in what use to be a cattle yard durning the hay day of Fort Worth. There are resturants and many shops where you can buy Texas related items or western wear. It is a great place to take visitors from out of town or for a fun day with the kids. You can even ride the train from Grapevine to Fort Worth - it comes right down into the middle of the Stockyards!

I love this place! The Amon Carter has been expanded in size in the last few years and it's great. Very easy to get too, free admission, free parking and photography is allowed inside and on the grounds. They have quite a few programs for kids and their special exhibits tend to rotate fairly often. This is a really neat place to take out of town guests so they can get a taste of Western art history. The staff has always been very friendly and I highly recommend a visit here.

My family and I have been going to Burgers Lake for the past 15 years and we always have a great time! It is truly an old fashion swimming hole and a great place to spend a hot summer day. It costs next to nothing compared to the large themed water parks. Instead of thrills come for some real family fun that includes a large relaxing spring fed lake, sandy beaches, inner tube rentals to lounge in, diving boards and rope swings!!

From the giant sculpture in the front, you know this museum is one to go to if you are into modern art. Actually, even if you aren't into modern art you will like this museum because its so interesting with the various exhibits that make you just marvel at the simplicity and what was running through the artists head. They had a very cool exhibit about Don Flavin a while back.

This was a great place to take the kids. although some of the stuff was a bit pricey, it was worth it. The food was great and they even had some free shows to watch. They had a jet ski show that was pretty entertaining. There were plenty of bounce houses and fun things for the kids to play in.

If you love baseball like i do and are tired of paying twenty dollars a ticket or more at the rangers games this is the plave to go. The ticktets and food is inexpesive. You sit up close. Instead of sixty rows back. The Fort Worth Cats is a great baseball team. After the game you can get autographs from the friendly players. If you love baseball and want your whole family to be able to come this is a great place for just that.

There is a really good theater with a wierd name: Rave Motion Pictures. I know that im not very creative with titles but "Rave Motion Pictures" Uhhh... OK... Anyways they are the cheapest theater I know and have the best equipment. Whenever I see a movie on opening weekend they have it in DTS sound and that is always fun. Its located in the ridgemar mall so you could do something before or after a movie without going too far.

What a neat place.. I happened upon it when I was down at TCU and was surprised at what a great little shop it was.
It is hard to find records these days and they sure did have a bunch. I ended up buying some for friends and a couple for my self!
Prices are good and I like the fact that it is a old store that has stuck it out and stayed strong!
