Okay, okay yes, Fort Worth is a modern thriving city, but it has still kept its roots as “cowtown” and you’ll find proof of that at the Fort Worth Stockyards more than anywhere else.
It’s historic, but it’s also modern. They’ve struck a perfect balance of the Stockyards being a working agricultural hub and social center with being a place that attracts visitors looking for a bonafide western experience.
And there’s only one answer. The Hotel Drover. They take the “western luxe” vibe to the extreme and have really put the Stockyards on the map as a destination.
The Stockyards are a very kid friendly place (even Billy Bob’s!), but like anywhere, the later it gets and the more drinking that goes on you may not want your kid in the middle of it.
