Other things to note Our location is perfect for easy access to the best things Fort Worth has to offer. There are so many attractions and great restaurants that there's not space to include them all. To get a good preview of what to see and do we suggest that you go to your favorite internet map service and research the area according to your interests.

All about 25 minutes or so away if traffic isn't bad. Again, if traffic cooperates, DFW Airport is about 45 minutes away by car. And if you're really determined, you can head for Dallas. Fort Worth is called "Where the West Begins". So that must mean that Dallas is "Where the East Peters Out". But that's another story...
