ABOUT THE FRUGAL & FUN FORT WORTH WEEKEND EDITION ~
Each Friday, we post ideas for FREE (or almost free) weekend entertainment for you and your family. Here are this weekend’s tips…

Frugal Weekend Entertainment Option #1

Enjoy this beautiful weekend & take a driving tour of the
top 10 Rated, “Most Inspiring Places of North Texas”

                 Fort Worth Botanic Japanese Gardens Fall 2

This weekend’s weather is going to be fabulous and quite possibly the last “must. do. something. outside” days we have for the year. As such, I feel compelled to repeat a post from a couple of months ago…a suggestion to take a tour of the Top 10 Most Inspiring Places to Stand in Fort Worth/ North Texas (according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram). 

The winners are:

     1. The Japanese Garden at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden

     2. Looking downtown from the steps of the Amon Carter Museum

     3. The Serra sculpture at the Modern

     4. The New Cowboys Stadium

     5. The Fort Worth Zoo

     6. The Trinity River bridge north of the Tarrant County Courthouse

     7. The Stockyards

     8. Great lakes

     9. Editors’ pick: Randol Mill Park, Arlington

     10. Grand-prize winner: Tandy Hills Natural Area

This is a great list and variety of places to “take in” for long time residents of Fort Worth and new visitors alike!   If you have not been to these spots (or need a refresher), take a tour and choose one or more of these locations to visit.  Don’t forget to bring your camera!
