I love supporting small businesses and that’s exactly what you’ll find at The Foundry District in Fort Worth. The Foundry features an outdoor art gallery, get a bite to eat at the food truck park, and enjoy a cup of coffee at Craftwork Coffee Co. (one of my personal favorites).

Fort Worth Botanic Garden

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is beautiful! Not only is it a great spot to go on a date or family outing, but it’s an excellent spot for an event. We celebrated my grandparent’s 50th year anniversary at the Botanic Gardens and not only was it a beautiful sight, but they also have a restaurant onsite.

3220 Botanic Garden Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76107

Fort Worth Water Gardens

Ready to set your eyes on a beautiful modern oasis? In the heart of Downtown Fort Worth, you’ll find the Water Gardens which was built in 1974. It’s a great spot to visit any time of the year. Want to know more about the Fort Worth Water Gardens? Check out our guide!

Eat. Dance. Shop. You can do it all at Sundance Square. I went for the very first time a couple of months ago to visit the Scatt Jazz Lounge. I was in awe of how much there was to see and do. It’s truly a place for everyone. With 30 dining options, over 20 different retail stores and over 10 places to fill your visit with entertainment, Sundance Square is the spot to go to in the morning, daytime or night!

Fort Worth Zoo

A post shared by Fort Worth Zoo (@fortworthzoo)

It’s easy to forget that there is so much more out in the world than are small corner and going to the Fort Worth Zoo is a friendly reminder of how beautiful the world around us truly is. I went with my 2-year-old nephew for his birthday and seeing the amazement and wonder in his face was priceless.

When we see these creatures in a picture or film, we don’t always grasp how magical they are IRL!

There’s something to see in every corner and you never know what to expect from any wild animal. Did I mention they have cute baby animals as well? When I went in September, a giraffe recently had a boy and we all got to see him walking around eating, it was priceless. You’ll also find a spot that’s extremely kid-friendly, a petting zoo,  and a reptile section.

Going to the Fort Worth Zoo? Might as well GET A POGO PASS!

(note – we earn a little money at no extra cost to you when you buy a pass and use our promo code: METROPLEX)

Ready to Monet all day? Take a step back from all that Fort Worth has to offer to take in world-class pieces of art. We may not all be art critics, but a jaw-dropping painting is one we can all spot from a mile away. The Kimbell Art Museum first opened it’s doors on October 4, 1972.  It’s home to about 350 works from various periods and movements. Did I mention it is free to enter?
