4. Stock Yards – Ft. Worth
a. If you’re looking for a taste of Texas including a shootout show, actual longhorn cattle and saloons then look no further than the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Stockyards combine rodeo, family entertainment, music, and food to create an authentic Texas experience. If you want an old west experience book a tour in an 1800’s stagecoach replica or take a ride on horseback on the Old Chisholm Trail. If music is more to your liking, then you’ll want to find a spot up front at Billy Bob’s to enjoy a live concert or see bull riding up close and personal. You might even get to see a live recording of band’s recording “Live at Billy Bob’s” album. When you’re done listening to music the Stockyards also offer specialty stores that fit the cow-town theme including the Leather Trading Co., Barbara’s Custom Hats, the Beef Jerky Outlet and the Longhorn General Store.
