- Sundance Square - Sundance Square blends historic Western architecture with modern design across its 37-square-block downtown area, featuring shopping, restaurants, art galleries, entertainment, professional offices, and residential spaces. Its plaza is recognized as one of the nation’s top outdoor gathering spots, often called the “living room of Fort Worth.” Visitors are encouraged to explore its murals, whimsical water fountains, courtyards, unique local shops, delicious food, and live music.
- Fort Worth Water Gardens - This urban park is often described as a “cooling oasis in the concrete jungle” of downtown. It features three pools of water and a terraced knoll that shields the park from the city. The quiet, blue meditation pool is surrounded by cypress trees and towering walls covered in a thin layer of water cascading almost 90 degrees down to the sunken blue water feature. The sound of water on the walls evokes the feeling of a gentle rain shower. The aerating pool has multiple illuminated spray fountains under a canopy of large oak trees.
The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool, where water cascades 38 feet (11 m) down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom. This experience allows visitors to walk down the terraced steps and be surrounded by the power, sounds, and motion of water crashing around them.
- JFK Tribute - On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy delivered an impromptu speech to thousands of rain-soaked spectators on the front steps of the historic Hotel Texas, now the Hilton Fort Worth, followed by a formal presentation at the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast.
The JFK Tribute in Fort Worth’s General Worth Square commemorates the President’s historic visit with a beautiful Lawrence Ludtke bronze statue of President Kennedy set within an elegant plaza. Selected quotes from several of JFK’s historic speeches, including the famous quote pictured below (no faint hearts image), are featured throughout.

Tarrant County Courthouse - Designed by the architecture firm of Frederick C. Gunn and Louis Curtiss and built by the Probst Construction Company of Chicago from 1893–1895, this pink Texas granite building in Renaissance Revival style closely resembles the Texas State Capitol, except for the clock tower. The cost was $408,840, and citizens considered it such a public extravagance that a new County Commissioners’ Court was elected in 1894.
A monument dedicated to Confederate Army soldiers was erected on the grounds by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1953. In 1958, a Civil Courts Building was constructed on the west side of the courthouse. In 2012, a $4.5 million renovation to the clock tower was completed, and in 2013, the Civil Courts Building was demolished.
The Tarrant County Courthouse currently houses the Tarrant County clerk’s office, probate and county courts at law, a law library, and the Tarrant County facilities management department. - Cowtown Coliseum - Built in 1908, the Cowtown Coliseum hosted the first indoor rodeo 10 years later.
