Stockyards Station

Urban Cowboy paradise with shopping and shows

Description

Up and down Stockyards Station's narrow streets you'll find storefronts from the late 1800s, which were renovated for tourism in the 1970s. Stores are full of Western memorabilia including paintings, leather goods, books, glassware and hundreds of other treasures. Wild West performances are staged frequently at the Cowtown Coliseum, while Billy Bob's Texas offers other entertainment options. At mealtime, Riscky's and other restaurants offer up steak, catfish and other local fare. A small children's amusement park features a lovely old carousel and several other rides. Through the middle of it all runs the Tarantula Train, which shuttles passengers on a nostalgic round trip to and from the nearby city of Grapevine.
