Amtrak Heartland Flyer

Pros: The scenery and spacious seats. Cons: I'm not sure if I didn't hear this, as it could've been announced while advising where the bathrooms were but I didnt know where the cafe was...the ice/water machine on the top floor was not working. The electrical outlets did not work, anywhere on the top floor. Not sure about the bottom floor but thats just not cool. There were a little bit of crumbs in my seat when I sat down, nothing too crazy though. Overall experience was good. I plan on taking the train again. Tips: Have all devices charged, electrical outlets did not work.

Amtrak Heartland Flyer

Pros: It was my first ride and most definitely I’ll be doing this again. Very quiet and the gentleman who works in your cafe had a very interesting voice. He made me laugh. But so nice that I recommend it to my whole family. They’ll be using the service in October. Loved it 👍. Cons: It was my first visit so I don’t have anything to say. Tips: Bring some snacks.

Much more than an afterthought to nearby Dallas, Fort Worth is an exciting destination in its own right. Fort Worth is one of the largest cities in Texas and in the United States overall, because, as we all know, everything is bigger in Texas. With the motto "City of Cowboys and Culture," Fort Worth has activities, sights, and experiences to deliver on both of those fronts.

If you dressed as a cowboy for Halloween as a child (or last year), your first stop should be the Fort Worth Stockyards. Once a livestock market, the Stockyards are now a National Historic District characterized by restaurants, bars, Old-West themed shopping, and live music. Here you can see real Texas Longhorns on a cattle drive twice a day, or attend the Stockyards Championship Rodeo, held every weekend at the Cowtown Coliseum. Can you see why we named Fort Worth one of the best vacation destinations in Texas?

If you're more intrigued by Fort Worth's cultural offerings, you'll be wowed by the breadth of museums to visit. Admire the art at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth or the Kimbell Art Museum (whose architecture is a work of art in itself). Outdoor oases like the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and Fort Worth Water Gardens will bring a breath of fresh air - not to mention a chance to dip your feet in the water to cool off.

Luckily, there's no need to ride a horse into Cowtown. Bus service from several local and national carriers, as well as Amtrak train service, make it easy to get to Fort Worth from cities throughout the U.S. Plus, with proximity to one of the world's busiest airports, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, you can visit Fort Worth from nearly anywhere on the globe.
