When walking down historic Grapevine, Texas, it’s hard to miss the Glockenspiel Clock Tower. If you come at the right time, you’ll catch a scene of two nine-foot-tall figures known as the Would-Be Train Robbers duking it out at the top. Stop by the tower each day at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. for the show.
