Some of my favorite places in DFW. Some may be just outside the metroplex, but they are worth the drive.
Map
It's not as good as it used to the, but we still go every year for one of my kids birthdays. We are usually there from open till close. Gotta try the salted Carmel fudge!!
Fort Worth Zoo
I can't get enough of the brisket here. Seriously. I'd eat here everyday if I could! Their OTXB tots and fries are to die for.
I'm also working my way through their margarita list. You gotta try the coconut!
Old Texas Brewing Company (Burleson)
I've been going since I was a child and now I get to take my kids. Always makes for a great day of fun.
Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
A bit pricey but you gotta go at least once. It was so much fun!
Meow Wolf Grapevine's The Real Unreal
Fantastic smoke house and one of my husband's favorites.
Railhead Smokehouse
Not Technically DFW, but I'd recommend it if you have the time. I've been going since I could walk and I still love it.
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center - Glen Rose, Texas
Not Technically DFW, but if you are a huge Dino nerd like me, it's a must!
Dinosaur Valley State Park
Beautiful garden and I can easily spend all day here.
Fort Worth Botanic Garden
If you're already in Ft. Worth, take a walk though. It's beautiful.
Fort Worth Water Gardens
I'll never get over how it feels to watch movies here. Not a normal theater and kinda surreal.
Omni Theater
So much fun and so much to do, And not near as crowded as Arlington! We usually stay 3 days to a week here once a year.
Jellystone Park™ North Texas
This was a ton of fun and even made a few friends.
Walking Historic Food Tour in Dallas, Texas · ★4.75
Incredible food!
Fazenda Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse - DFW
One of my favorite places to eat in Grand Prairie. It's always fun and the food is always great.
Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Grand Prairie 快乐小羊
Another fantastic Hot Pot. A bit out of the way for me but worth the drive!
KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot
The whole family really loved going here.
The Dallas World Aquarium
Ive only been a few times, but it's always a treat. Friendly people, funny and unique donuts, very tasty.
Voodoo Doughnut
I'm terrified of roller coasters, but there's still plenty to do here and even I have fun. You have to go if you haven't before!
Six Flags Over Texas
Now this is more my speed. Stick me in the wave pool or lazy river, I can float all day long. I may not like roller coasters, but make it out of water and suddenly I'm good to go!
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor New Jersey
I cannot compliment this place enough. Incredible people, incredible food, super conscious of food allergies! 10/10
Pandan Thai Kitchen
Legoland is great for kids and adults. We are a Lego family and always have a blast here.
LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth
I just recently found out about this myself and had great time!
Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament
It's gotten a little cheesy and showboat-y, but still fun to visit. Must see trip if you've never been.
Fort Worth Stockyards
I love visiting here. I got a few times a year myself.
Cleburne State Park — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department
One of my favorite parks to walk at. Beautiful, wild, but still well maintained.
