Culture
The Waco Suspension Bridge
You can’t miss this Waco classic that’s been around since 1870. It was once the world’s longest single pass suspension bridge when it was built, but now it’s a great way to take in the beauty of the Brazos River and downtown Waco.
Culture
Magnolia Silos
You know what this is…it’s like a “Fixer Upper” Disney Land where you can buy every design thing you’d ever need, eat from local food trucks, hang out on the lawn or grab a cupcake from the bakery. It’s a really cool place!
Harp Design Co.
Sadly for us, since filming, Clint & Kelly Harp decided to resign from the design business to pursue some of their other successful endeavors.
Waco Mammoth National Monument
One of the most amazing prehistoric discoveries was made in Waco, and YOU can tour it! This site is the only place in the world that a nursery herd of mammoths was discovered all together, and is still teaching us more about this extinct species.
Food
Magnolia Table
True to their name, the “Fixer Uppers” Chip and Jo took the historic Elite Cafe, and turned into a new, yet still, iconic Waco restaurant. Stop in to try their farm-inspired menu with upscale comfort food and some of the best buttery biscuits you’ve ever had.
Silos Baking Co.
If you’ve ever wondered how Shiplap Cupcakes taste, you need to hit up this bakery, because (spoiler alert) they’re delicious. On the campus of Magnolia Silos is this little bakery where you can grab some treats to enjoy on the sprawling lawn outside.
Shorty's Pizza
You don’t have to be a college student to enjoy the hand-tossed, cheesy pizzas with gourmet toppings at this local favorite. Order a slice, or opt for the “Pizza Pillow” — meats, veggies and cheese all folded into a fluffy dough pillow — for a unique eat.
Outdoors
Waco Surf - formerly BSR Cable Park
Since filming, the BSR Cable Park has reopened as Waco Surf, but you can still surf, ski, and slide your way to fun at this cable park that has a little bit of everything. There’s a Lazy River, a Cable Park and a giant Surf Park, but one of my favorite parts is the Royal Flush — three huge slides that’ll shoot you through the air and splashing into the water!
