Best Father's Day Spots in North Texas for a Special Day Out
This Father's Day, treat your father to a unique experience with the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. The train ride, presented on the Historic Cotton Belt Route, transports passengers through six Tarrant County cities aboard a 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive and two 1958 FL9 diesel locomotives. The journey ends at the Fort Worth Stockyards, allowing ample time for exploration or a meal at one of the local restaurants. Each ticket grants your father a special gift during the ride, and additional craft brews and concessions will be available for purchase.
For a sports-themed Father's Day event, consider Grapevine's Father-Son Field Day hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department. Father-son teams will participate in a game show-style competition, with activities starting in the morning and lunch provided. Children must be three years old or above to join.
