Fort Worth Botanic Garden Opens Free to Everyone on Veterans Day, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
Free general admission all day Wednesday, with last entry at 4 p.m. - the garden joins the Metroplex's free doors for the holiday, on the same morning the Tarrant County parade steps off downtown at 11.
FORT WORTH - The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is making Veterans Day free for everyone. The garden offers free general admission to all visitors on Wednesday, November 11, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with last entry at 4 p.m., according to its Veterans Day listing in the North Texas holiday roundup read by this desk.
The offer is not limited to veterans or service members - it is a free day for the whole public, which puts the garden in the same Wednesday company as Dallas's Bush Presidential Center (free 9 to 5) and Arlington's Medal of Honor Museum (free 10 to 5). Across the Metroplex, the holiday's biggest institutions are simply opening their doors.
In Fort Worth the day stacks neatly: the garden opens at 8, the 107th Tarrant County Veterans Day Parade steps off downtown at 11 under the theme '250 Years of Veterans in Service,' and the garden's last entry is 4 - time for both, in either order. November is also the garden's autumn peak, which makes Wednesday the rare free day that lands on a good-weather week: the station feed carries Veterans Day clear at 80.3 degrees.
