I really think this is a good zoo for a city like Waco. Nice layout, clean and safe habitat's for the animals, and they have just opened a great central TX themed exhibit. It's rarely packed, so you can have the animals to yourself! Another great way to spend an afternoon either with or without children.

More
If you are a poetry or literature buff, or just a fan of the Victorian era, you will love this ambling through this museum/library. This library contains artifacts related to the Victorian poets Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Not sure who they are? You've surely heard quoted "How do I love thee--let me count the ways"--It's the first line of a poem written by Elizabeth Barret Browning. And any child knows of "The Pied Piper," penned by Robert Browning--though he was not primarily a children's writer.)
You can see paintings of the brownings, furniture from their home (including Robert Browning's Writing Desk), artwork which inspired some of their work, and other works of art inspired by their work, correspondence, relics from their home, and other items.
The architecture in the library is beautiful. One room with a high exquisitely carved ceiling, murals, and towering stained glass windows is especially breathtaking.
They suggest a $2 donation, but admission is free.

More
I have been here several times throughout my years here in Texas. The Museum is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places and is a nonprofit organization. It has three floors of exhibits. The building that it is in was the actual headquarters until 1924. They have the Beverage World Soft Drink Hall of Fame and the Free Enterprise Institute. The best thing about it is it has an actual operating old fashioned soda fountain. This is a wonderful place to go to learn about how Dr Pepper was made and just to see the different items that Dr. Pepper use to be to what Dr Pepper is now. I love this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I have taken our kids here several times. The kids also go here on field trips with their school. We all love it here. They have alot of different artifacts there from the old times of the Rangers. They have an exceptional collection of guns, Indian artifacts and alot of antiques. This place is really clean and it is definately the place that you will want to go to show your kids or just to take your spouse to see the old times and learn a little about how our Rangers use to be.

Our family goes here a couple times a year during the summer. We love their campgrounds and the kids and us always have fun. They have the beach area for the kids to swim. They have picnic tables and the outside grills for people to use. They have the shower facilities and well as the bathroom facilities. They are always kept clean and the people there are really friendly. They have security and you really have a great time there.

This is where I go get my sons gear for his sports. They have baseball bats, balls, socks, shoes as well as the items he uses for football and other sports. He really likes going here as they have a wide variety of things for him to chose from and he isn't stuck getting to pick from just a couple things. If they don't have something in a brand he is interested in , they will order it for him and have it in usually within a couple days at the most. This place is very clean and the people are really nice and helpful.

This is a great place to get your sports trophies and have them engraved. They do a wonderful job on the engraving and they are back in no time at all. If they don't have what you want, they can order it for you. They have a Fast Guarantee Service which I like because if they dont' get it back to you when they say they will, you get the stuff done for free. This way I always know my items are going to be there on time. This is a definate place for people to go get their trophies.

They have so many different types of antiques at the best prices you can find anywhere. They have booths that people can rent to sell their antiques as well. They are open everyday for a great added convienence to everyone. I love going here to look at all the different items and have actually been able to buy some things as well for our bedroom decor.

Wow!!! This was a great choice to stop in and take a glance. Set around Baylor University campus, this historic hall of fame building has so much to offer for any sports lover. First the prices are excellent. Adults is about $6 and kids get in for $3. They offer discounts to large groups. The exhibits included tennis, h.s football, basketball, baseball and texas baseball hall of fame. Their are some interactive items and its wonderful for the family as well. There's a lot to say but I HIGHLY recommend you stop by here.
