When the sun sets over the prairie, Fort Worth's Stockyards reveal their most atmospheric side. A costumed guide leads a spine-tingling 2.5-hour walking tour through haunted saloons, historic hotels, and the dark legends of the Old West.
What to expect
Your theatrically costumed guide begins at Mule Alley and winds through the gaslit streets of the Stockyards, pausing at the haunted White Elephant Saloon — site of a notorious 1887 gunfight — and the century-old Stockyards Hotel, said to be frequented by Bonnie and Clyde's ghosts. Stops include curated drinks at landmark watering holes. The storytelling is equal parts history and theatre — genuinely riveting for adults.
Good to know
Tours typically depart at 8:00 PM; confirm schedule and book in advance as capacity is strictly limited. Ensure your all-aboard time accommodates a late evening return — this is best suited to overnight port calls or late departures. Flat, walkable terrain; smart-casual dress recommended.
