Top  Five Things To Do in Waco, Texas.   I grew up in Meridian, Texas which is approximately 45 miles from Waco, Texas and I have not been to all of these tourist attractions.   While growing up in small town Meridian, it was a big treat to get to go to "the big city" and it did not happen often. That being said, now that I live in the Waco, Texas area, I am on a mission to visit each of these. 1.  Cameron Park Zoo- Our zoo rests on 52 acres along the Brazos River.  This zoo is the perfect size for young and old.  It is not so large that you cannot see it all in a day, yet it is large enough to have a wide array of animals.  I have taken my grandchildren to this zoo and it always provides a wonderful day trip.2.  McLane Stadium- Home of the Baylor Bears!  This new football stadium rests... 01/03/2016
