Small but definitely super informative museum! Explains all about the history of Fort Worth and live stock trading and has actual equipment dating back several years and decades! The souvenirs are very inexpensive and great to take back as gifts for anyone!

Amazing museum, so much history here. Had a great time. A must see for sure

Fun place to visit for the entire family. So much history about the cattle selling days of old and the meat packing originated here back in the early 1900’s! The museum is tiny but packs a punch with memorabilia! See pictures and stories of the real cow girls too! Learn about the key roles Swift and Armour played in shaping the meat packing business too. Also some American Indian influences around the same time in the stockyards area.

Best place to see the Nativity of Dallas . Cowboy lifestyle and stuff can be seen here . My uber driver suggested this on my trip to dallas and definitely a must visit place . Seeing the bull fights and riding a bull is unique experience . Prebook to the show is suggestible as there will be lot of people in the weekends . Beer and steak is damn good in almost all the restaurants and the museum is also highlighted with fortworth origins . For parking go all the way to the end of street and free parking is available even at busy times .

It’s a hidden gem in the DFW area. I barely hear people suggesting about this place . It has so much history in there. This time I couldn’t see the bill fighting as I went during the day. Next in plan is to go on a Saturday and see the bill fighting. The markets are also worth visiting with so many food places and souvenir shops.

Small and cosy museum filled with lots of interesting memorabilia, from possessions of early immigrants and cowboy accessories to railway maps and high school photographs. I walked around the museum a few times and I always found something surprising every round. If you have time, I recommend you to sit down and watch the "Wall Street of the West" video at the back of the museum. It is interesting to see how Fort Worth thrived and grew when the rest of the USA was in depression during the 1930s. After visiting the museum, go to the back of the building to see the historical cattle-pens. If the staircase at the cattle-pen is open, climb up to get a good view of the stockyards and downtown Fort Worth.

We watched the bulls at 11:30 and 4! Such history! Loved it! Will go back! Parked in the parking lot at the 100 block of Stockyard Blvd. Walked down the alley and the waited by Avoca coffee shop. They had good coffee too! The 4 o'clock was after lunch in Risckys BBQ the Stockyards alley where the rail way goes through the old cattle trading area. The shops are very cool to explore! Make sure you look! There's YouTube videos we watched first. We did the John Wayne museum($23.50/pp), the Stockyards museum too($2/pp) there's also a long horn you can get your picture with, in saddle, for $5!

Loved the variety in shops, multiple activities for kids and adults, numerous restaurants & bars. And the gorgeous longhorns you can see up close were the icing on the cake!

Whether you're a resident of Fort Worth or just visiting, a visit to the Stockyards Museum should be on your itinerary. It is absolutely Amazing and takes you through the history of not only the Stockyards but the city of Fort Worth as well.

Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this small information packed museum. Truly a great experience and so worth the small admission price

More Than Just Moos and Howls at the Fort Worth Stockyards Museum! 🤠 If you're looking for a dose of Texan history served up with a side of belly laughs, then mosey on down to the Fort Worth Stockyards Museum! This place is teeming with rich history, captivating exhibits, and a staff that's friendlier than a prairie dog in springtime. The exhibits? Top-tier. Learned about Texas history like a cowboy straight outta school - which, given my track record in high school history, is a feat in itself. Who knew cattle drives and trade posts could be such a hoot? But the real highlight? That award goes to Maurie, the resident museum dog. Never did I think I'd be schooled in history by a four-legged curator. Maurie, an expert in Texas lore and probably the world's greatest hide-and-seek player, leads visitors on a one-of-a-kind museum tour. All this while nailing the perfect mix of charm and dogged determination! (Pun definitely intended.) Maurie's more than just a pup with a job, though. He's the heart of the museum - a canine ambassador of Texan culture if you will. Maurie was as keen on giving us the inside scoop on Fort Worth history as he was on fetching his favorite toy. His endearing antics turned an ordinary museum visit into a memorable day full of chuckles and unforgettable insights. So whether you're a cowboy at heart, a history buff, or just someone looking for a tail-waggingly good time, the Fort Worth Stockyards Museum is the place to be. And trust me, Maurie will be just as excited to see you as you are to see him. Yeehaw!

Small, but enjoyable. Can't beat the amount of info and entertainment for only $2.

Costs $2 for admission per person. Shows the progression of the cattle industry in the early 20th century.

You can learn a lot of history of Fort Worth and live stock trading. It is a relatively small museum. Many equipments on display and several decades old.

The stockyards are great! You'll want to bring cash and you do have to pay to park (cash or credit) but there is plenty to see and do. We stopped by the museum and they offered my kids a scavenger hunt for a free prize! The kids not only learned about a lot of Texas history but they also got some great souvenirs to take home. The cattle run happens twice a day and there are plenty of restaurants to watch from. You can grab lunch and see the longhorns walk through. They also did a "shoot out" a few times we were there, kids and parents alike enjoyed it. They offer a petting zoo, maze and a few other attractions as well. Great for families!

Beautiful experience! Worth the walk, and talking to the ladies taking care the museum. My favorite items was the bad luck dress!

Cute little museum. Donation based. A lot of history packed in tiny space! Palace Theatre Light Bulb which is in the Guiness book of world records because it has been lit for 112 years now. Must visit for History buffs !!

If you love history this is a place to enjoy! It is small but rich with history. Go see the bridal dress of death.....🤪

Excellent museum about the Fort Worth Stockyards! I had a very very nice talk with the older lady that was working there. She remembered the glory days and showed me the old photo of the stockyards. Her German mother’s last name originated from the province in The Netherlands I am from, Groningen. We had a nice conversation in German 😃

Don't expect a huge museum. Lots of interesting items with information in an old office. Worth checking it out when you are there. Entry fee was $2

Cute little museum hidden inside the building, has many interesting artifacts. Recommended! PS- I wish I can build a similar chair one day (with fake horns though)

The staff is cheerful, and the exhibits are interesting. It's nice and cool on a hot day, and the museum is self-guided. The museum is chock-full of memorabilia, and it can be a little crowded (by post-COVID standards). My visit included a serenade by one of the people. All three were polite, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I had a great time and look forward to returning to this delightful museum, located smack in the middle of the Stockyards! You won't forget it! Veteran-friendly, too.

Amazing museum, the lady and gentlemen were very friendly and explained about the stockyard which was a great story. I truly enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the items in the museum. This is a must visit.

Pencil sharpeners are very unique. Lot of curios.

Pretty cool. Paid $2 to get in so it was not a financial strain. Only spent about 7 minutes inside, not a ton to see. If you like history it’s cool. I wouldn’t make a point of going to see it while you’re here in the Stockyards, but it’s a good stop on your way to look at the cows.

Loved this place. Small Museum, one room. Cost 2 dollars which is a deal nowadays. Some nice western artifacts.
