Schedule

Baylor's Summer Graduation will be taking place the same weekend, so please keep that in mind due to accommodations filling up and the general crowds around campus/town. We've provided some recommended accommodations below, however, there are many other great places around Waco. Airbnb is also an excellent alternative! Other popular hotels: Hotel Indigo, Hilton Waco, AC Hotel Waco Downtown, Hotel 1928, Hotel Herringbone

8 minute drive from venue (Deerfield Estates) (4.1 miles away), 7 minute drive from Baylor Campus (3.6 miles away). -- Includes Hot Breakfast. Newer Build There is no room block, however, since Baylor Summer Graduation is the same weekend...this is a great option outside of the Baylor bubble!

TownePlace Suites Waco Northeast

12 minute drive from venue (Deerfield Estates) (8.6 miles away), 3 minute drive from Baylor Campus (.5 miles away). -- Includes Hot Breakfast. Newer Build There is no room block, however, Baylor Summer Graduation takes place the same weekend so keep this in mind due to rooms selling out and general crowds around town.

SpringHill Suites Waco

For those traveling from out of town and in groups we recommend AIRBNB.

Travel

Waco Food/Drink Staples: All Casual and shouldn’t need a reservation unless noted. 1. Georges (Speight Location, been there since 1930): American/Southern cooking food, but you can find everything on the menu. My favorites &amp; popular items:- Apps: Baylor Beggars (just yummy rolls served with side of ranch), Bear Bites (get side of ranch and cilantro to dip)- Meals: Chicken Fried Chicken, Chicken Tenders, Stuffed Potatoes, Pork Chop- Drinks: Big “O” of beer or margarita&nbsp;2. Shortys (12th Street Location - started in 2011 by BU grad “Shorty”): Great prices on NY style pizza, Pizza Pillows (Calzones), pitcher of beer and great ranch for dipping. You can get the pizza by a slice or whole pizzas.&nbsp;3. Health Camp (been around since 1948): Classic old-fashioned burger joint, great shakes too!&nbsp;4. Schmaltzs (a few locations around town, opened in 1975): Sandwich shop known for their amazing in-house made fresh everyday bread!&nbsp;5. Viteks (started in the 50s): Great BBQ, famous for their “Gut Pak” combination of Frito’s corn chips, hand-chopped brisket, sausage, bean, pickles, onions, and jalapenos piled high. Gut Pak won national notoriety as it’s been ranked a few times as “best college eats”&nbsp;6. The Mix: Little café that serves fresh soups, salads, sandwiches. -- Fun Fact: The bar across the street (The Buckle) is where Derek was working the night we met!&nbsp;7. Café Homestead: Fresh, natural food in a traditional farming community.&nbsp;8. Red Herring: You can order a few things and just share everything. The Sourdough Focaccia is a must and then there is a rooftop bar upstairs called Lucky Buck’s with a lovely view of the city!&nbsp;9. Common Grounds (8th street location): Was started as a BU student’s class project in the 90s but then became a standalone coffee shop right on the outskirts of campus! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, great spot to hang out/read etc.&nbsp;10. Pop’s Lemonade: Newer to Waco, but it’s a little drink spot. Fresh Lemonade, teas, and treats! Blackberry Mojito Lemonade is our fav! Things to do:1. Baylor Tour: Below are some of my fav spots on campus!- Visit the live bears on campus. (Indy &amp; Belle) -- In the summer, earlier mornings and as the sun is setting is the best chance to see them out and about. TIP: Follow their Instagram: @baylorbearhabitat because they often update their bio or stories if they are going to be off campus and when they will return.- Founders Mall: Long green space at the heart of campus, where the Judge Baylor statue sits! Be sure you take a photo with him!- Stop in the Armstrong Browning Library on campus, it’s beautiful and houses rare 19th century books, manuscripts, and art.&nbsp;2. Mammoth National Monument: Waco used to have a large mammoth population, and the fossils weren’t discovered until 1978!&nbsp;3. Dr Pepper Museum: Built in 1906, but it’s the first building dedicated to manufacturing Dr Pepper. It’s a very interesting tour and with the price of the tour, you get 1 Dr Pepper in the Soda Fountain at the end! (Range of tours offered)&nbsp;4. Cameron Park Zoo: a smaller zoo so it doesn’t take a full day, but a great time filler.&nbsp;5. Mayborn Museum: Quick easy museum with some interactive rooms&nbsp;6. Walk around or have a picnic lunch in Cameron Park. Hike up Jacob’s Ladder Shopping:- Spice Village: Lots of little boutique stores in 1 building! Clothing/gifts/home décor etc.- Barefoot Campus Outfitters: mostly Baylor items, but not everything is BU.- Baylor Bookstore: The OG is at the bottom of the parking garage near bear habitat, but there now a smaller one in the Hurd Welcome Center too!
