Things To Do

TX State Fair

Check out Texas State Fair and try a Fletcher’s corn dog or yourself silly in fried Oreos! There’s live music, a car show, rodeo, Petting zoo, rides, carnival games and more. Truly a sight to see!

Katy Trail Walking Trail

Need a quick, safe workout in downtown? Try walking the Katy Trail. Tree lined and either paved or rubber padded trails, this biker, runner, Walker and dog friendly 3 mile trek will take you from SMU all the way to the American Airlines Center in no time.

Peticolas Brewing Company Taproom

Owned by a sweet family in Ashley’s school district, this brewery merges their love of soccer, board games and interactive challenges like ping pong and darts together. We enjoyed coming here for game nights and great beer.

Manhattan Project Beer Co.

Taqueria La Ventana

One of our favorite, cheap, hole in the wall spots for margaritas and street tacos. Seriously their margs are only $3.75 during happy hour and they’re ah-may-zing!

Fort Worth Stockyards

Take a time warp back to the 1800’s where rodeo, stockyards, boots and ten gallon hats were a way of life. See a real life cattle stampede and enjoy the sights and sounds of a slower paced, down home good time just 35 miles west of Dallas.

Ferris Wheelers Backyard and BBQ

White Rock Lake

A place to “get out” of the city for kayaking, paddle boarding, or long run around the lake.
