About
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth sits in a Tadao Ando-designed building surrounded by a reflecting pond. The contemporary collection features large-scale installations that grab kids' attention better than traditional galleries. Free on the first Sunday of each month, and kids under 12 always enter free. The on-site cafe overlooks the water and serves solid lunch options.
