~:~
Are you ENJOYING this weather as much as me?!?! Our friends at the Weather Channel tell us we should have beautiful fall weather in store for us this weekend, so be sure to include something fun to do outside!
FREE Weekend Entertainment Option #1
Enjoy a Walking Tour of the Cultural District,
Downtown, or Stockyards Area.
The Fort Worth Visitors Bureau has published a clever collection of illustrated “points of interest” city maps, making it simple to customize your own self-guided walking or driving tour. For instance, the Cultural District’s map points out the district’s many museum locations, the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens…even outdoor sculptures are easy to find. Map choices include:
- DFW Area Map
- Cultural District Walking Map
- Downtown Walking Map
- Stockyards District Walking Map
