Fort Worth Fun By April Luedecke
The Stockyards has a variety of entertainment. Don’t wait too late to venture out, as many of the local shops and attractions close before sundown. Fire up the old Hewlett-Packard and check out the options at the FortWorthStockyards.org. Sundance Square has shopping, entertainment and dining in one convenient area. But you don’t want to miss the SCAT JAZZ LOUNGE. Head
underground, literally, for one of the chillest spots on the prairie. Increase your cool factor exponentially while hiding out in this funky hotspot.
If you feel the call of peaceful pools of water and quiet meditation areas, mosey on over a few blocks from the OMNI hotel to the FORT WORTH WATER GARDENS . Described as a “modernist landscape of vortex-like pools and futuristic angles,” this urban plaza
COWTOWN has plenty of attractions for the typical tourist. But what do you do if you’re looking for something a little less pedestrian? Invest a bit of time to soak up some of the lesser-known gems of the western portion of the Metroplex! While BILLY BOB’S TEXAS is well known for its nightlife and world-class grub, it is also a great place to find emerging music talent. Check out the website for the events calendar and don’t forget to bring your boots!
Ever feel like you’re second best? For a flat $2 Admission fee, you too can commiserate with another almost-best by visiting the world’s 2nd longest burning lightbulb at the STOCKYARDS MUSEUM . The world record-holder was first lit in 1908 and is still going strong more than a hundred years later. Or take a gander at the Bad Luck Wedding Dress. (Insert a joke
was previously known as Hell’s Half-acre for the brothels and saloons that once populated this now serene site.
And if you’re a true sci-fi enthusiast, you’ll want to come dressed in your best Logan’s Run garb and make for an epic selfie. Use proper caution though. If you drown in these pools, you won’t be the first. But you will be the only one fished out in a metallic mint-green toga. Whatever you choose to do, you are unlikely to run amiss in Fort Worth. Plan ahead and enjoy the last days of summer in Cowtown!
