Diana Davenport: Great museum to visit. $10 for tour but if you do all 3 houses - its $25. I didnt have time to tour the other 2 houses. They are opened only Friday and Saturday. Doris was a great tour guide. It was really nice to learn history of this house and the family who owned it.
Dan Mark: Great bridge to visit when in Waco. So much history in one single place.
One can only imagine how it was crossing the river before the bridge was build.
Today the bridge is well maintained and easy to walk. There are great views to the west and east, and you can walk the nearby parks along both sides of the river.
We walked it a Saturday near lunch. Not to many people. And when you walk it from south to north you end up at a farmer’s market.
Patel Kishan: Vast trail network with biking trails ranging from green to double-diamond, plenty of great views along the Brazos. I would recommend parking near the playground/bridge or baseball area since usually other spots down the river are full. Be sure to checkout the inner areas, such as the hidden bamboo forest, and beware that even the diamond trails can be challenging for some mountain bikers.
Jill Meade: We came to the park to play disc golf and saw this so we hiked up. Didnt take long to ascend but be aware that the step risers vary in height (and are def not to code haha )because of its older rudimentary build. Very cool though! We liked the backstory of Jacobs ladder and were glad we did it before playing DG.
Vivian Bermudez: This is a great place to see wildflowers, birds and walk on the trails while admiring nature. Perfect spot to relax and do nature photography. There is a playground nearby so it’s a great place to visit with little kids and the whole family. Parking is available nearby as well as public restrooms.
Josh: We loved stopping by to find Darwin in star-spangled July 4th finery.
Will definitely stop by again. Any major holidays are worth a trip.
Darwin is under a tree, just off the road, on a dirt circle with a paved path leading to it.
Our thanks to the people who cloth and feed big D.
Molly & Jaren Garcia: Enjoyed walking the grounds and checking out the stores. Definitely gives you the southern charm of Texas and enjoyed the outdoor areas to bring the community together. Plenty of seating all around the property.
The ENTIRE property closes at 6pm. Not just the shops.
POP’s lemonade was delicious. The sweet tea tastes like sweetened sun iced tea.
Joshua Rosales: A MUST SEE for sports enthusiasts! The staff is nice and knowledgeable about the entire museum. They have so much history you will spend a lot of time looking around. I gotta bring my family back.
Josh: This art museum is a lively little space with several rambling rooms. When I visited the galleries were divided into two separate exhibits and an art studio room geared toward kids.
The gallery shares a building with the art, art history, and theater departments, along with a large performance hall.
It was a bit difficult to find visitor parking close enough for a hundred degree day, though the science museum is just across the main street.
