Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The longhorn walk take place at 11.30am everyday thus have to reach the place accordingly to get parking.
The walk is very natural and the host of teh event gives away loads of information which is very interesting. Family with young children and senior citizens will find this attraction worth it.
the livestock building now boasts a museum with well kept use items of teh period and is a very interesting piece of history for all. Visit to this museum is ket at USD 2.00/- per persona nd is absolutely worh it.
The place also allows visitors to walk into the live stock barns and see teh longhorns grazing and resting.
Also there is a train ride during the weekends. Restaurants and souvenior shops with cattle skins, horns and products made of teh wilderness on display and sale. Prices are very reasonable.
Must visit while in Texas.

So, it was my first trip to the Stockyard area and I was very impressed. I had no idea what to expect, but there is so much History here. The museum was amazing, the staff is so friendly and knowledgable. I wish I had more time to spend in this area. I will be back.

My daughter and I came on a recommendation from my mom. We are from a ranching and farming community in California. We have raised pigs and lambs, and my daughter has shown steers. What the heck, it looked like a place we could find the boots we were looking for and we could tell my mom we went.
It was fun! My daughter wanted to move there. We arrived around 11:15am, spent the $2 for a few hours of parking, took a photo of my daughter on a long horned steer (love them!!! Want one!!!), watched these beautiful long horns get herded down the street from one corral to another, and then went shopping for boots.
Hints: Pay for that $5 photo on the saddled steer (more to add people). First, they are probably just making enough to pay for their steer's feed so giving them the money allows them keep their "baby", and these big animals are the handler's babies. Second, take a photo and a video. Her brothers thought the steer was fake until I sent photos of the head in different positions. Third, you just don't get that opportunity to sit on a saddled steer that often.
Do look for boots in the various stores. They will be expensive! These are your "going to town" boots, not your work boots. Anything over $250 is normal. $3000+ can be normal. I was looking more for work boots. My daughter was looking for going to town boots and thankfully they did not have her size (says the mom with the debit card). The clothes were also very unique and pretty.
If you haven't been around such beautiful animals, go to the stockyards. The cowboys are nice and the animals are well treated. Always watch your children around anything that big. They will remember going forever.
Have fun!!

Get out to the stockyards at 10 and 3:30 and enjoy the Longhorns walk down Exchange street. A sight for every visitor coming to Fort Worth. It's free too

From the unique architecture to the sounds of yesterday, I wondered what it was truly like to live in the western cowboy and cowgirl days of the pioneers. Those were some tough people. Thanks for the memories.

We walked through here to go to the Stockyard Museum. It's a beautiful building that still houses offices for various businesses. When we were there, there was a cattle auction going on that was being taped for RFDTV. We were able to go in and watch part of it, which was pretty neat. If you walk out of the back door of the building, you can see the longhorns in their pens. There's also an observation deck you can walk up to get a good view of them.

This is a building where cattle and other livestock sales are still carried out but today it is all done on video screens in small offices . Nice building to pop into to escape from the heat .
Lots of info on posters and paintings on the walls of the building , a small wonderful museum worth visiting and of course clean restrooms . You can exit the back door and will be right in the area where the longhorn steers are stabled and pampered .There are high level viewing areas here where you can look down on these impressive animals .

Unfortunately we are visiting during a heat wave but this was a super fun day. The cattle run was fun and the whole area is entertaining with lots of tourist traps to spend your money on.

A bit of time spent waling the halls of the Livestock Exchange will educate the visitor about the great individuals who impacted Texas' history. Wall plaques with illustrations and photos highlight over 100 individuals who made the Great State. There is also a small museum/souvenir store toward thge back of the building that may furter interest some, but, for a free tutorial on some folks you'll recognize and many you won't is worth a little of every Stockyards visitor's time.
