Waco, TX Is So Much More Than Just A College Town, So Here Are Some Things To Do There
It's more than just a college town.
Waco, Texas is home to the Baylor Bears, but it is so much more than an empty little college town like I once thought.
When I first got here, my immediate thought was "Thank goodness we are not far from both Dallas and Austin," because there is "nothing to do" in Waco, right? Wrong. If you ever stop by the little town of Waco, you need to check out these fun activities that will make you think differently of this little town.
First, the obvious, you should go check out Magnolia Market Silos! If you are a fan of the show "Fixer Upper," this is a must. Grab a bite to eat from the food trucks, take some cute pics and shop till you drop.
Next, you should grab some OMJ (Oh My Juice!) and hit the shops at Spice Village.
Now one of the most exciting things for me is the Cameron Park Zoo. Seriously, go. It's magical.
If you are here during the warmer months, take the fam to the BSR Cable Park and float through the lazy river. If you're a real one, you'll go down the giant slide.
If you want to know if you are gonna be single forever, go tortilla tossing off of the Waco suspension bridge. So, rumor has it that if you throw tortillas off of the bridge and make it onto one of the pillars, you will find your husband here at Baylor. If not, you're doomed.
Finally, you should take a nice hike through Cameron Park and become one with nature.
Hope this gives you some ideas on things to do next time you are ever in or driving through my beloved Waco.
