Once you're checked in, fuel up. Fort Worth restaurants serve up food as rich and flavorful as the city’s culture. Texas is known for its beef, diners can enjoy the juiciest, most robust grilled meats; and bodacious barbeque sauces that animate the sense. The city’s restaurants also boast some of the top award-winning chefs who serve up dishes with exotic flavors from around the world and are often off the beaten culinary trail.

EscapeWizard.com’s selection for the first site to visit is the Fort Worth Stockyards. Located in the city’s National Historic District, the Stockyards serve as a sort of history book of the livestock industry in Texas. This destination is a former livestock market, which operated under various owners from 1866. The Stockyards is a one-stop shop for many attractions, entertainment, dining, shopping and lodging. Many bars and nightclubs including nationally known Billy Bob's Texas are located in the vicinity, and the area boasts a Western motif. There is also an opry and a rodeo. Depending on the time of the day, tourist can also see a real live cattle drive. The cattle drives are run twice daily at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM (Not including Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day).

Next on the list, EscapeWizard.com recommends a tour of the city’s museums and art galleries. The Fort Worth Cultural District is home to five wonderful museums. Fort Worth is considered by many to be the museum capital of the Southwest. Throughout the city, you’ll also find museums devoted to Western heritage and Fort Worth’s colorful past. You’ll also find a magnificent and thriving performing arts scene in Fort Worth, including symphony, ballet, opera, and live theater.

From there, the next suggestion of EscapeWizard.com is the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Built in 1974, the Water Gardens are located on the south end of downtown Fort Worth between Houston and Commerce Streets next to the Fort Worth Convention Center. The Water Gardens is an architectural and engineering marvel; its focal points are three pools of water and a terraced knoll, which helps to shield the park from adjacent Interstate 30. The quiet meditation pool is encircled with trees and features a flat, still plane of water that cascades almost 90 degrees down to a sunken walkway. The pool features multiple spray fountains. The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool, which has water cascading 38 feet down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom. The park also contains over 500 species of plants and trees; often referred to as "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle" of downtown, visitors can enjoy the gardens any time of the year.

After a long day of sightseeing, Fort Worth nightlife has so much to offer. EscapeWizard.com suggests that you head downtown to Sundance Square. Sundance provides sidewalks filled with people on the town, enjoying the many Fort Worth nightlife opportunities such as nightclubs, restaurants, movies, and live theaters. Or you can head back north again to the Stockyards to Billy Bob’s Texas. Across the city, you'll also find national and local acts performing in a wide variety of venues — from roadhouses to refined concert halls.

EscapeWizard.com can promise you an enjoyable vacation to Fort Worth, Texas. Come to Fort Worth where one thing that doesn't change is true hospitality that is the hallmark of the great state of Texas.
