Fort Worth Stock Yards, a nationally ranked zoo, world class art museums, a beautiful
symphony hall and all the entertainment and dining of a vibrant downtown area. The City
is only a short drive away from DFW International Airport and 32 miles from downtown
Dallas which also provides additional access to museums, shopping, many cultural
events, and big name entertainment and concerts. The DFW metroplex is also home to Six Flags over Texas, several universities and four professional sports teams – the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars and Texas Rangers.
