One of Waco's most popular events is packed with tradition. The Homestead Fair held every November features fine arts and heirloom skills, and always boasts a full itinerary of fun activities like boot making, woodworking, pottery, metal casting and basket making, among many other demonstrations. Live music, great food, and a celebration of the various cultures in the area all make for a fun family festival event. Plus, the fact that it usually is scheduled the weekend after Thanksgiving means you can begin your Christmas shopping and find a plethora of unique gifts in the expansive arts and crafts sale area.

The Mayborn Museum at Baylor University clearly believes in interaction. Their interactive exhibits are doubtlessly the starting points for many young imaginations to learn about cultures that have made significant contributions to the world's history. One example is the Lost Egypt Ancient Secrets Modern Science exhibit that allows kids to step back in time and live like an Egyptian. It's exhibits like this as well as a highly knowledgeable staff and state-of-the-art facility that make the Mayborn Museum a consistent and compelling learning experience for the whole family.
