Stockyards Station

Lots of shops in the station and a train ride for a fair price. The train ride is about 45 minutes round trip and takes you over Trinity River. While the train is gone there is an act old country style with guns and multiple actors.

We brought our family and friends. To witness the Christmas events at Stockyard, Fort Worth TX. It was packed with both locals and Tourist on Christmas weekend 2023.Clean and well lighted stores.

This review is for the stockyards station, not all of the stockyards. This is an actual operating train station but looks like a quirky mall. Visited during the eclipse and there was a huge crowd packed into the station. Next time I looked up, a large historic train pulled right into what had looked to me like the main aisle of the mall, with people scattering right and left. My jaw hit the ground, it was such an unexpected sight. Loved the feel of this place, there are a number of quirky shops here. There is a taxidermy store that has every type of stuffed animal, including full sized polar bears and a moose, which was unexpected. Would love to explore more on a slightly less crowded day.

very cool area with lots to see and do! the live cattle walk is 1130 am and 4pm. arrive earlier so you get agood view!

So much fun. I totally recommend coming here if visiting Texas especially if you have a kid. Truly got the Texas experience coming to the stockyards. Talked to the very knowledgeable people handling the bulls and they told us the story of why they do the cattle run. We watched the cattle run, had authentic Texas BBQ, and got my son a cowboy hat so he could sit on a real bull, and then ride the mechanical one.

My friend drove us to Stockyards Station from Dallas because she wanted to show us a different side of Texas. It was about 45 minutes to get to Fort Worth, so the drive wasn't too bad. There was a small farmer's market where vendors selling honey, fruits, boot jewelry, etc. We walked around a bit and saw police riding horses, statues, and stores selling touristy stuff. There were a lot of places selling boots that were high quality, but too expensive for me LOL. More shops were scattered in the interior of one building. They were selling knick knacks, beef jerky, and souvenirs. There are a couple of areas for photo ops and when I was there, there looked like local band singing live, so you have some music to listen to while you shop! The only thing we ended up getting was some honey and the guy selling it also gave us some fresh peaches too.While we were waiting for the cattle drive, we ate them- the peaches were so juicy and sweet! The cattle drive was pretty short, lasting only a few minutes. I thought the longhorns would walk a lot faster, but they were just moseying a long. I heard they usually have more of them before, but maybe because of the weather?? Also, my friend told me they would do some kind of show with them, so it was kind of boring to watch.

Love it! I love how this area. A lot of stores and things to do. Parking is not too bad either. The horseback riding was fun. Saw the rodeo and we had a blast watching it.

I needed a pair of socks. Should have gone to Sockyards Station.This is the place to come if you want all kinds of touristy kitsch stuff while you are visiting the famous Stockyards of Fort Worth which is one of the coolest parts of Texas. And also one of the most touristy. It's a super cool part of town and it has everything you might ever imagine that a massive gift shop in Texas would have. Or a gift mall really because there are so many different stores within this big mall type thing.

Come early.... Parking is $10,Resultants are everywhere, bars, live music.... Long horn drive down Main Street entertaining... shopping pretty good. Ate at Risckey's BBQ it was just "ok"... probably won't eat here again

Love the Stockyards Station! Has some great shops!! Especially the candy store!!! Also the beef jerky store! Mom and Pop shops who have been here for years
