| About: | For a real taste of the Old West, come by the Stockyards area any afternoon and you will be treated to a mini-cattle drive sponsored by the City of Fort Worth. Fort Worth is proud of its Cowtown moniker, and wants to give tourists and locals a chance to see real cowboys and cattle in action. The cowboys dress in authentic turn-of-the-century clothing, and use period saddles and equipment. There are two separate cattle drives each day. Both start at the eastern end of Exchange Avenue, then move west towards the Cowtown Coliseum before turning and heading back to the pen. |
| Hours: | Mo to Su from 11:30am to 04:00pm |

Ok, so it's not very realistic with a few longhorn steers herded down a city street but where else are you going to see something like this? The cowhands are decked out in authentic costumes and represent the variety of the real trail drivers. Don't judge it by size or setting, just squint a little and it can be several hundred steers being moved down the main street of your town in the 1870s. Definitely worth the visit for anyone with any imagination at all.
