There are cowboy museums, genuine western shops, a rodeo arena, Wild West saloons and lots of historical buildings in the tradition of the old west. Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District is two miles from downtown Fort Worth. This is a prime cultural attraction in the Dallas - Fort Worth area so plan to spend some of your Texas vacation soaking up the real spirit of the old west. Then, of course, there are the aquariums. The largest one, Continental Shelf tunnel, gives you a great panoramic view of a coral reef and the marine creatures that live there. The Dragons from Down aquarium has an underwater camera that gives you a close-up look at Leafy seadragons and other marine life. Ten more smaller aquariums feature a variety of fish from around the world. They also have kids events like the Mutton Bustin' where kids can enter a drawing to be one of eight contestants who will see how long they can ride an actual sheep. Kids can also participate in the Calf Scramble where several calves are set loose in the arena and the kids all scramble around trying to catch them. Sounds like a lot of fun.
