The Cotton Palace, built in 1910, is located in a quiet residential less than two miles from the Brazos River. It’s a great neighborhood for a leisurely stroll to several excellent local restaurants. It’s not far to the major attractions of downtown Waco, including the Dr. Pepper Museum (the soda was invented right here), the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, and the popular Magnolia Market at the Silos, where you’ll also find some of Waco’s best food trucks. From your B&B, it’s a few minutes’ drive to the Cameron Park Zoo, home to 300 species of local and exotic animals, and nearby kayaking opportunities on the river. Kids who love dinosaurs and ancient animals will also get a thrill from visiting the Waco Mammoth National Monument a few miles outside of town, where they can view dozens of mammoth and sabertooth tiger fossils. You’ll feel right at home when you return to the luxury and comfort of The Cotton Palace each night of your family vacation to Waco.
