THE TOP 11 MURALS AND LOCATIONS IN WACO YOU NEED PHOTOS WITH ASAP
Murals sure aren’t lacking in Waco, that’s for certain. While traveling and visiting cities you can truly see the art and culture shine through in murals around town. Artists has created full blown careers out of being mural painters. How dope is that?! I’ve always felt like mural hunting around a city was kind of like and art gallery scavenger hunt in a sense. You’re able to see the city, learn about it through its artists, and take beautiful photos. Plus, most murals are on the sides of shops, restaurants, etc. that you can support. In this blog post, I’m rounding up 11 of my favorite Waco murals you absolutely need to visit while exploring the city.
THE TOP 11 MURALS AND LOCATIONS IN WACO YOU NEED PHOTOS WITH ASAP
1. City With A Soul
📍: The Findery
Artist: Kalyn Dunks
About the location:
This gorgeous and fun mural is on the back side of The Findery, a funky boutique near Magnolia that sells cute rustic decor and even hosts classes; so be sure to go shopping after you snap your photo. The mural highlights some of the most iconic places in the city. Regarding parking, it’s close to Magnolia so it can get hectic, you can park in the back of The Findery.
2. Drink Dr. Pepper
Artist: Unknown
About the location:
This mural is located in the Dr. Pepper Museum, which I highly recommend checking out! You can walk in without attending the museum, but if you love Dr. Pepper, which I feel like you would if you want a picture with this mural, then pop in a grab a DP on tap! Parking is right across the street and free for museum guests.
3. Summer of Downtown Chalk Murals
Artist: various artists
About the location:
These chalk murals are part of the Summer of Downtown Project! Which I highly recommend reading more on here. Waco is always trying to incorporate the arts into the city and it makes my art loving heart so happy! There is free street parking downtown.
4. Dichotomy Waco Mural
📍: Rooftop Patio at Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits
Artist: Mike Trozzo
About the location:
This is more of a hidden mural you have to do a little work to get to. Dichotomy has high quality coffee, unique non-alcoholic drinks, delicious alcoholic beverages, and a beautiful view of downtown on their rooftop patio. Speaking of their rooftop patio… that’s where you’ll see this amazing WACO mural. I highly recommend purchasing a drink before you head up to snap a photo.
5. Bold Waco
Artist: Nick Frigo
About the location:
This mural is on the side of one of my all time favorite pubs! Barnett's is Texas’ largest whiskey bar and third in the nation, which is wild to think about considering it’s in Waco freaking Texas… Like what?! Barnett’s also has a great brunch on the weekend as well as some cool events throughout the year like the Easter Keg Hunt. Be sure to stop in for a bite or a pint after you snap a photo! The parking lot for the pub is the best place to park to easily pop over.
6. Welcome to the Magnolia Silos
📍: Silos Baking Co. at Magnolia Market
Artist: Unknown
About the location:
Of course, Magnolia had to be included in this round up! They created a simple and aesthetic mural that you’ll absolutely want to take a picture with after you grab some of those famous Magnolia cupcakes. Pro Tip: If you get there 30 minutes before Silos Baking Co closes there is a significantly shorter line & way less people in front of the mural.
7. Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul
Artist: Will Suarez
About the location:
This mural is actually on the side of an awesome and relatively new food hall, Union Hall. It’s a great place for friends or family when you can’t quite decide on what you want to eat. My favorite is Billy Wizzbangs for burgers!
8. Lamp of the Body
Artist: Joe Rooster
About the location:
This location is pretty much just randomly put in the middle of downtown. It’s not really on the side of anything cool that I know of, but it is an awesome mural so I wanted to include it!
9. 1000 Hopes for Waco
📍: 320 S 2nd St

This mural is on the side of Putters, an indoor mini golf business! Grab some friends and head to Putters then snap a photo with this epic mural after.
10. You look nice today Wacotown

About the location:
This is probably my all time favorite mural in Waco! It’s just so freaking cute — I can’t even. This mural is right next to one of my favorite coffee shops, Lighthouse, so be sure to grab a coffee and then take a pic with these cute pink birds.
11. Starry Night
