Things to Do on a Fort Worth Staycation<\/h2>\n

Sundance Square<\/h3>\n

You may not expect to find a modern downtown in a city that began as a military outpost. But, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll find when you start your staycation in Sundance Square<\/a>. No longer a stop on the Chisholm Trail, today the area consists of 35 walkable blocks of dining, boutiques and entertainment. Start your Fort Worth staycation in the city’s historic center with a drink at one of the many outdoor dining venues.<\/p>\n\n

Martin House Brewery<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a good local beer brewed by Texans, Martin House Brewery is the perfect spot. This team of brewers avoids the traditional approach of brewing beer in favor of a more adventurous approach that capitalizes on strong flavors and the best ingredients they can get their hands on. Stop by on Thursdays from 6-8 pm or on Saturdays from 2-5 pm for a guided tour and enjoy getting to sample their nine unique brews. Some of the customer favorites are Mind On My Money, a Gin & Juice inspired Ale, and the Pretzel Stout, which is brewed with over six pounds of crushed sourdough pretzels per barrel.<\/p>\n

Stockyards National Historic District<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for an authentic Western Cowboy Experience, spend an afternoon at the Fort Worth Stockyards. This is the home of the world\u2019s only twice-daily cattle drive, and also the world\u2019s only year-round rodeo that takes place in the historic Fort Worth Cowtown Coliseum. Spend a Friday or Saturday night watching bull riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bronco riding. No visit to the Stockyards is complete without a stop by Billy Bob\u2019s Texas<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest Honky-Tonk. It\u2019s a 127,000 square foot dancehall, with over 30 bar stations, where guests can learn to line dance, two-step, and get their picture taken with the signature faux bucking bull.<\/p>\n
