If you have a woman with you, she'll probably want to see the Silos.
Texas Ranger Hall of Fame as previously stated. Dr. Pepper Museum is a must. You can visit Mt. Carmel, please bring a cash donation for the drop box and follow their signs/written requests. It is still an active place of worship and home to families. |

Buzzard Billy's restaurant used to have some really good food, seafood, cajun etc. Been a few years since we've been so you might want to Yelp or Trip Advisor it and see what folks are saying. It on the NW corner of I-35 and the Brazos River. Let me know how it is if you go there please.

Haven’t been since the change and super hard to find the entrance when that area was under construction. |

Homestead north of town on 933 near Gholson. Makers at a pretty high level of old school craftsmanship. Good cafe.
Balcones if you like Sweet Whiskeys. |

Go check out the massive bronze statues of cattle and vaqueros along the river leading to the old Waco suspension bridge. This is where the cattle drives crossed the Brazos river to drive them to the Fort Worth Stockyards. The bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the U.S. and worth seeing and just across I-35 about 6 blocks from the Ranger Museum. Do this in the daytime or afternoon and there are decent restaurants nearby within walking distance. Don't go to the other side of the bridge.. pretty run down neighborhood but the southern side is safe. Cameron Park Zoo is nearby if you have kids. They may still be working on the suspension bridge but seeing it and the statues only takes ten minutes.
If you want a custom made cowboy or other style hat measured perfectly to your head go visit standard Hat Works. They were bought out but still make some damn nice felt hats. https://standardhatworks.myshopify.com/

My Son and I got suckered into a trip there while visiting family in Katy. To this day, we refer to anything shitty as 'getting waco'd'....if that gives you any indication of our experience. I took about 8 steps into that Gaines' facility and immediately walked out letting the girls 'shop'. Just like me, they saw the china tags and inflated prices but they chose to at least look at stuff. My Son and I got some bad food truck BBQ but some good sweet tea and waited dutifully.

Here’s another vote for the Texas Ranger Museum.
I went to Baylor a few years back and can also suggest the ‘Bear Pit’ if you have kids. They (usually) have a couple live bears on display on campus. Otherwise the Silo/Magnolia stuff is a hit with the ladies but is massively crowded and overpriced. There are no good gun shops or ranges in town, so you’re not missing much in that department. If you’re looking for a decent hike, Cameron park has some cool cliffside trails. |

Half the plates in Waco around I-35 are out of state from all the college students. Baylor University is in the heart of it and their nice new football stadium is pretty impressive. |

When the windows rattle and there is a sound like a F15 in full afterburner that just doesn't go away, it's Elon Musk testing a rocket engine- 30 miles away.
He's building one a day, so there's always a test going. Awesome sound, even from 30 miles away. |
