Anything that gets you outside.
It's so beautiful to walk around here, especially in the winter when they do Christmas events! It's pretty affordable and right in the heart of downtown so there's plenty of things to do to make it a whole day!
Fort Worth Botanic Garden
The Fort Worth zoo is always voted as one of the top ten best zoos in the US. I have a season pass and we go all the time. It's beautiful and so fun for all ages. For an additional 5 dollars a person they have a huge splash pad with slides and a snac...
Fort Worth Zoo
A daily cattle drive in the street, western gear stores, bars, and restaurants. It's so fun down here and worth spending a few hours at! "Fort Worth where the west begins."
Fort Worth Stockyards
This is new and very exciting if you have a toddler! They have rides, a splash pad, sand box, indoor bike trail, and you can meet Peppa! You don't have to be a Peppa fan to have fun there though!
PEPPA PIG Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth
Going to a Texas Rangers game is so fun, even if they're not your favorite team. It's a new beautiful ball park with tons of crazy foods to eat and lots to do! When it's nice outside they open the roof but when it's hot in the summer it's shut and ha...
Schedule - Texas Rangers
This is the original Six Flags park! It's got a lot of fun Texas themed rides. It has a great amount of toddler rides for my daughter as well. We have season passes and go as much as we can! P.S. Get the funnel cake sundae.
Six Flags Over Texas
Restaurants
All the best places to eat and all different price ranges!
The best place for a nicer meal in Fort Worth. It's downtown and very western themed. It's my favorite spot to go for my birthday every year. They have unique items but also classic Texas steakhouse items too.
Reata Restaurant
A Fort Worth institution, it's right next to the Stockyards. So you can eat and then walk around there. Every time a celebrity comes to Fort Worth they come here. It has a massive beautiful patio and huge indoor space as well. The best steak fajitas ...
Joe T. Garcia's
This burger place is right next to TCU. You can enjoy amazing burgers and the beautiful campus right next door.
Dutch's Hamburgers
Torchys is my favorite taco place, they're in a few different states now but originally from Texas. They have the best queso and their tacos are always so amazing. Always fresh avocado and no fat on the meat. They're huge as well.
Torchys Tacos
They only have a few entree options and then you get all you can eat sides. Biscuits, salad, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy. I always get the chicken fried steak, it's my favorite one in the world.
Babe's Chicken Dinner House • NRH , TX
This is my favorite pizza around! The bees knees with spicy salami and honey on it is unique and amazing.
Taverna Rossa
This place has it all, it's local and this is the only location. They have amazing Greek food like gyros. But also delicious giant burgers and fries and onion rings to die for. Get the spicy fry sauce and thank me later.
Tex's Star Grill
They have multiple locations around DFW and it's my favorite breakfast spot around! They give you huge portions for a good price. They have a huge menu of different types of pancakes or French toasts. They also have the best hashed browns I've ever h...
Seven Mile Cafe
This ice cream is originally from Chicago and this is the first location in DFW. They layer different flavors in a square shape to make a rainbow cone, it's really good! They have other layering combos other than the original rainbow. They also sell ...
The Original Rainbow Cone - Hurst
They're all over Texas and they have so many types of teas. You can make your own mixture with fruit and different flavors. Or just get plain strawberry like I do! It's affordable at 3 dollars for a 30 ounce iced tea!
HTeaO - N. Richland Hills (Mid Cities & Precinct)
There's a million options for chicken tenders in DFW and this is one of the best! You can pick your spice level and they have the best ranch!
The Cookshack
When you think of Texas you think of BBQ and this one is my favorite! Their Texas Twinkie is to die for
The Original Roy Hutchins Barbeque
Indoor Activities
When you need to cool off in the summer time, these are the places to go!
This aquarium is very unique, they have tons of different types of animals. Not just the typical aquarium ones!
The Dallas World Aquarium
This is the best mall in the area, they have the fancy brands and the regular stores you love as well!
NorthPark Center
Parts of this museum are free and the ever changing exhibits cost money. But they're worth it! They change every season so there's always something new to see here.
