For a gravity-defying experience, check out the Suspension Bridge and Riverwalk. The bridge is located over the Brazos River and links two attractive park areas the whole family can enjoy. You can only cross the bridge by foot, and the view from it is absolutely breathtaking so remember to take your camera to capture several amazing shots of this high-rise attraction. The structure is also historically significant as it was the longest suspension bridge west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1870.

Hawaiian Falls is the perfect place for the whole family to take the plunge! Beat the Central Texas heat by diving into one of the two pools, slip and slide on the series of slides that tower up 22 feet, test your swimming skills in the competition pool or maybe opt for the beach entry pool with interactive toys. Not only will the kids have much to do, mom and dad can relax in the shaded rest areas and enjoy some great snacks at the reasonably-priced concession booths. Have fun exploring the sights at this water-filled attraction, but don't forget the sunscreen!

Step into rich history and amazing past pillars that shaped our nation by visiting the Earle-Napier-Kinnard House constructed between 1858 and 1869, an example of one of the earliest brick homes to be found in Waco today. A classic example of Greek Revival Style, this House reflects a typical architectural standard of the era with the original ceiling lamp in the entrance hall and the Lincoln rocking chair in the South Parlor.  Your visit will enhance appreciation of the mission of the Historic Waco Foundation to preserve the heritage of the area for future generations and to present enriching diverse historical experiences of all ages. The tour package also includes a visit to the East Terrace, Fort and McCulloch Houses.

Since 1976, locals and visitors alike have enjoyed the Westfest Polka Festival, held in West, Texas, a short 15 mile drive from Waco. Visitors pay homage to the German culture in Texas with a big variety of food booths, kids' activities, a parade, baking contests, arts and crafts, a tractor pull and even a polka mass! Of course, there is also plenty of polka music and dance contests to enter and enjoy. The event is traditionally held over the Labor Day weekend, so plan to make your way out West for an unforgettable time at the Westfest Polka Festival.
