Lindsey Wolf, DMCP
Lead Creative Design ManagerGet to Know Lindsey
If anyone knows Fort Worth and how to bring it to life for visitors, it’s Lindsey! She grew up in Argyle, a small town outside of Fort Worth, Texas. She went on to attend college at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth where she pursued her Interior Design degree. Lindsey felt completely at home in Fort Worth since the city had the same down-to-earth vibe that she grew up with in Argyle. From popular institutions that have been around for decades such as Kincaid’s Burgers or Joe T. Garcias (an iconic Tex-Mex restaurant), to the cobblestone streets of Camp Bowie and Exchange, Fort Worth is full of rich history. Lindsey loves being able to combine her love of the city with her passion for creating unique experiences for her clients at Ultimate Ventures.
Top 5 Attractions for Events in Fort Worth with Lindsey
Only 30 minutes west of Dallas, the city of Fort Worth oozes with culture, excitement, and an abundance of one-of-a-kind attractions. Fort Worth offers the true Texas experience that out-of-town guests crave, with plenty of unique venues, each with their own flare. In addition to fantastic hotel options, guests enjoy the walkable neighborhoods and the ease with which it takes to get around. But what people love the most about Fort Worth is they get the chance to experience the great American West, where history meets culture.
Billy Bob’s Texas
Billy Bob’s Texas is the world’s largest honky-tonk and a MUST do in Fort Worth! It’s been named “Country Music Club of the Year” 12 times by the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. Much more than a dance hall, this Texas-sized facility offers 100,000 square feet of dance floor, arcades, and mechanical bull riding fun. Lindsey and the UV team can transform the 10,000 square foot private event space into any theme you desire! You can also treat your team to a private bull riding show in the arena! In addition, Billy Bob’s Texas has hosted the biggest stars in country music and classic rock from Alabama to ZZ Top. Let UV organize country line dancing lessons or a friendly competition to see who can stay on the mechanical bull the longest. Believe us, those bragging rights are a big deal!
The Fort Worth Stockyards
Explore the sights of the Stockyards Historic District, once the second largest livestock market in the U.S. and today, a major entertainment center. The historic Fort Worth Stockyards exemplifies the days of the Old West with lively western saloons, quaint shops and delicious restaurants. Stop by one of the shops to get outfitted like an authentic cowboy. Lindsey suggests a stop at Fincher’s White Front Western Wear, M.L. Leddy’s, or Maverick Fine Western Wear. And, no trip to Fort Worth is complete without experiencing the world’s only twice daily cattle drive. At 4 PM, find a spot on the lawn in front of the Livestock Exchange Building and make sure you have your camera ready! There are countless picture-perfect opportunities to be had in the Stockyards.
Fort Worth Art Museums
Not to be forgotten is Fort Worth’s world-renowned museum district. Fort Worth has been called the third best center in the United States for availability and excellence of art!
Modern – The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth showcases masterworks of modern and contemporary American and European art from 1945 to the present, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, and photography.
Kimbell – Since its opening in 1972, the Kimbell Art Museum has won acclaim for its classic modern building and is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding modern public art-gallery facilities in the world.
Amon Carter – The Amon Carter Museum of American Art was established through the generosity of Amon G. Carter Sr. (1879–1955) to house his collection of paintings and sculpture by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell.
All three of these museums are great options for your group whether you want to create a one-of-a-kind awards dinner or add on a tour for your participants during a conference. The possibilities are awaiting!
Fort Worth Zoo
The Fort Worth Zoo, the oldest zoo in Texas, is also a nationally ranked attraction. It was founded in 1909 with one lion, two bear cubs, an alligator, a coyote, a peacock and a few rabbits. From these humble beginnings, the Zoo has grown into a nationally ranked facility, housing more than 350 native and exotic species. The Zoo also has plenty of event spaces, where guests have the chance to have a cocktail with the giraffes or enjoy hors d’ovueres as they stroll through the Piney Woods and Swamps, Brush Country, and Mountains and Desert exhibits of Texas Wild! If you go soon, you can even see the new baby chicks on the block! The Caribbean flamingo chicks hatched in July, and they are cuter than ever.
Sundance Square Plaza
Sundance Square is a beautiful entertainment hub in the heart of downtown Fort Worth. The 55,000 square foot plaza hosts several public events throughout the year including concerts, yoga classes, outdoor movies, and more. You definitely won’t want to miss The Plaza at Christmas time, the square is completely decked out with Christmas decorations (including a 56-foot Spruce tree), holiday décor, and an ice-skating rink! The Plaza also makes for the perfect venue for corporate events especially with the Chisholm Trail Mural and fountain show as the backdrop. By bringing entertainment, décor, and food from all the surrounding restaurants, UV can create the perfect block party!
