I only had one evening to explore Dallas on a recent business trip. I decided that the Stockyards would give me the quintessential "tourist" view of Dallas, complete with cattle and souvenir shops. Well, I guess I missed the memo that the place is a ghost town on weekday evenings. I got there around 5:30, paid to park, and started... More

Watching the longhorns being herded down Exchange Street was quick and interesting. The horns were huge. The shops were touristy. The saloons appeared to be authentic. Billy Bob's was vacant on Monday but worth a visit. The hand casts were a lot of fun. The range of famous entertainers that have been there was amazing. The cafe had good food... More

We usually make a trip once a year when something else brings us close. I never tire of the atmosphere. Ride the tarantula train. Visit the shops. Go to a rodeo. Enjoy the nightlife at Billy Bob's or the White Elephant Saloon. Always fun. Museums, eateries, trains, horses, longhorns, stockyards. What else do you need for yout Texas experience? More

Gun battle re-enactments, a live rodeo, twice a day cattle drives through the streets, a railroad depot, plenty of steakhouses and restaurants (try Joe T Garcias patio dining) plus lots of shops for the ladies. However, if you hanker for a pair for boots or cowboy hat you can find them in the Stockyards. What a fantastic place to experience... More
