Smack in the center of downtown, Sundance Square is filled with shops and eateries housed in a mix of renovated historic buildings and modern steel and glass. There are lots of opportunities to shop local, such as vinyl at Union Station, art supplies at Lookout Hill, or hand-crafted goods from Mexico at Colección Mexicana. Once you’ve had your fill of shopping, pop into the Sir Richardson Museum, a free-admission gallery of paintings of the Wild West.

In the central square, fountains offer relief from the heat and live music fills the air on weekends. If you crave a more spectacular performance, get tickets to a Broadway musical or the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra at the Bass Performance Hall.

Many local businesses have offices on the upper floor, including barbers and aestheticians with bargain-priced services.
