At four hours away, Fort Worth is a bit of a drive for a weekend getaway, but the city's many offerings make it worth the trip for both families and couples. Fort Worth likes to brag that it offers "cowboys and culture." On the cowboy side, there's the Stockyards National Historic District, which features a longhorns cattle drive twice a day (it's always a big hit with kids). On the culture side, there's the nationally regarded Kimbell Art Museum; the art deco Ridglea Theater, built in 1948; dozens of galleries; and the Camp Bowie historic district with plenty of restaurants and shops. The Fort Worth Zoo ranks among the top ten in the country; the city's botanical gardens are the oldest in Texas. Don't leave town without stopping by the Bluebonnet Bakery.
