To most, Waco is a highway and nothing more. Just a pass-through, not a destination. But there is way more to this town than meets the eye, and to those who are willing to look a little deeper, Waco is much, much more.

While you’re in town, you gotta go to the Dr Pepper Museum to learn how the oldest major soft drink on the market was invented in 1885. You’ll see original bottling equipment, old Dr Pepper ads and you can even grab a Dr Pepper Float at the old-fashioned soda fountain at the end! Soon enough, you’ll be a “Pepper,” too!

Head to the Texas Rangers Museum to learn all about the brave men who have been devoting their lives to keeping Texans safe since the first group of rangers protected the Texas frontier from Indians in the 1830s. You’ll see how the roles of the Texas Rangers have changed over time, and you can even pay homage to 30 Rangers who made significant impacts on Texas at the Hall of Fame.

Calling all sports fanatics: this is the museum of your dreams. Explore dozens of exhibits showcasing Texas’s top players in football, basketball, tennis and more. One of the coolest exhibits is the Southwest Conference Gallery and Cotton Bowl Exhibit, where you’ll learn the history of the Cotton Bowl and see the jerseys of some of the greatest college football athletes in one room.

Waco is full of history and a great place to brush up on all the details is at the Mayborn Museum on the Baylor University campus. You’ll find exhibits about Waco’s history as a Mammoth hangout to the various sea animal fossils found in the area. And if you’re more into experiments than history lessons, check out the hands-on science exhibits on everything from weather to simple machines.

Don’t miss taking a stroll around Texas’s oldest university, Baylor University which was started in 1845. Take a stroll on Baylor’s campus, check out Baylor’s Bear Habitat where they keep the mascots “Joy” and “Lady” and stop by the famous Pat Neff Hall.

Kick your day off with a caffeine jolt to the mouth at Common Grounds, a locally-owned coffee shop. Common Grounds has all forms of caffeine to fuel your day trip from classics like cold brewed coffee and espresso to specialties like iced coffees with peanut butter and chocolate. YUM!

If it’s soy burgers and salads you want…you won’t find them at this 60-year old burger joint. At Health Camp, the three main food groups are Burger, Cheeseburger and Bacon Cheese Burger. Of course, you must get some greasy fries on the side and for a definitely-not-healthy dessert, try their frozen custard that comes in amazing flavors like Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, Toasted Marshmallow, Peach and more!

George’s is a Waco classic that’s been serving massive burgers and chicken fried steaks to Baylor bears since 1930. Stop in to relax like a local after a day of trippin’ with an 18 oz. frosty beer (called a “Big O”) and a plate of chicken wings wrapped in bacon.

If you want pizza and secret hideouts, look no further than Poppa Rollos. You can try one of their specialty pizzas or create your own (I like mine topped with jalapenos!) And while the pizza’s delicious, the secret hideouts at the original location are epic…check the secret door near the phone booth and you might just find a bar!

Enjoy some of the best mountain biking Texas has to offer at Cameron Park. Hike to the top of Lover’s Leap or Emmons Cliff to see breathtaking panoramic views of the Brazos and Bosque Rivers. While you’re at the park, check out the Cameron Park Zoo to say “hello” to the bears, giraffes and elephants. They even have Komodo Dragons!
