Cavanaugh Flight Museum
The Cavanaugh Flight Museum restores and displays historically-significant, vintage aircraft. Rides in warbirds are also available for a hefty sum and must be scheduled in advance. (I actually gave my husband a ride in a biplane warbird for his 40th birthday. He said it was worth way more than I paid for it).
Frontiers of Flight Museum
See vintage aircraft and modern-day passenger planes. There’s also a kids area with a small theater that plays Jay Jay the Jet Plane movies, has a few coin-operated rides and has a flight tower climbing structure.
Grapevine Vintage Railroad
Steam down the tracks in a vintage steam engine from the 1800s. Trains run daily to the Forth Worth Stock Yards and back during Spring Break.
