Great place to learn about the history of Texass cattle-raising. Really helpful and friendly staff eager to help explain things. The museum itself is more like a one-room gift shop, but there are good exhibits of vintage equipment from the citys days as a meatpacking capital. Behind the building are actual stockyards where you see see longhorn cattle, mostly steers. The building itself still houses offices and some cattle-auctions are based there, though much of the trading is online instead of in-person.

Its nice to smell cattle droppings. $5 for pictures on top of longhorns and $2 for petting zoo where we can pet goats, and $7 for small horse riding if your weight is less than 100 lbs. Many stores with a lot of products made in China. We enjoyed the march with longhorn cattle, cow boys and cow girls at 4:00 p.m. Food is ok worth the experience.

I love going to this museum. The permanent collection is lovely and always nice to look at. The traveling collections are always awesome. The museum has programs/activities available during the summer for kids and adults. The best part about the museum is that it is free to the community to experience all types of art and subjects

The museum is very small, but does contain a lot of historical items on display; I would have liked it if the displays had more information. The museum does do a good job at showing the history of The Stockyards. I would recommend you visit the museum (only takes about an hour to go through).

Stockyard Museum is a great place to tour and learn the history of "Where the West Begins". Make sure you see the Palace Theatre Light Bulb that is 107+ years old, the Bad Luck Wedding Dress and find out many things on how the Stockyards was a bustling location for livestock auctions.

If you visit Fort Worth, you have to take in the Stockyards. Read up on the history of the Chisholm Trail before visiting. Be sure to check everything and not just the shops. Cattle is what put Fort Worth on the map.

I love this place and enjoy all there is to learn about this area. It is a great place to take the family and just enjoy the history. What a great place and it feels like you are going back in time. We loved it!

This small museum is a lot of fun. For just $2, it is hard to pass up. Id definitely recommend going if you find yourself at the Stockyards.

Everyone has been very professional and friendly! Always have fun taking friends and family to see the the longhorns and cowboys/cowgirls.

This is where FORT WORTH got the nickname "COW TOWN" IT used to be "PANTHER CITY" because it was so quite a panther could walk the streets

April Dawn

Has lots of things to see from covered wagons, rodeo memorabilia, and other great things from the old west days.
