My husband and I went on a mini Southern road trip (with no kids)! We spent some time in Waco, San Antonio, and New Orleans.
While in Waco, we spent a good portion of our time at the Magnolia Market. There is so much to explore and eat at Magnolia! But there is also so much to see, eat, and explore in the rest of Waco too!

Here are some things to do and places to eat in Waco, Texas:
Covering 2 city blocks in downtown Waco, the Magnolia Market has so much to explore. They have multiple shops, lots of food trucks, a bakery, and a coffee shop.
Shop, eat, repeat! And when you need a pick-me-up, grab some coffee at Magnolia Press.
They have some activities and games spread throughout the property… for both kids and adults!
I highly recommend doing this Classic Waco Tour. It’s a great way to learn some history of Waco and see some main attractions.
Do this tour early in your trip so you can ask the tour guide for recommendations for the rest of your trip!
We stopped at Lovers Leap in Cameron Park on the Classic Waco Tour that went on. If you don’t do the tour, I recommend stopping out here on your own! But on the tour, we got to hear the story behind the name which was very interesting.
The views are great at Lovers Leap! It would be the perfect place for a picnic or walk.
Grab some take away from Magnolia Table and enjoy these pretty views!
If you didn’t get enough shopping at Magnolia Market, check out Spice Village. It is packed full with lots of vendors selling their merchandise. It is also much much cheaper than what you will find at Magnolia!
We didn’t stop at the zoo as we didn’t have the kiddos on this trip, but this would be a great stop with kids.
Leading up to the zoo they have some animal statues along the river walk which was fun to stop and take a picture with. We had to take a picture of the elephant and send it to our daughter who LOVES elephants!
We enjoyed staying out in the country just outside of Waco. This is the Airbnb rental that we stayed in and loved!
There are a lot of great rentals to choose from in/near Waco!
Here are some fun places to visit with limited time in San Antonio Texas! Including…
