Bear Country
Baylor University is a very nice campus to visit. The Mayborn Museum and Texas Sports Hall of Fame are located here. One of the few campuses where located next to a river while McLane Stadium makes this campus stand out while driving on I-35. After our visit of the Mayborn Museum we ventured off to find the bear pen. After following directions we found it and parked in front. Here we saw Joy & Lady relaxing in the Bill & Eva Williams Bear Habitat. One was sleeping but the other walked around and drank water. They originated from Oregon and are medium sized brown bears. There are signs to not bring pets here. From here you can walk to campus centerpiece Rosenbalm Fountain and circle around to enjoy his beautiful campus. Back at bear habitat you can walk along Waco Creek below. Before leaving made sure to see and take photos of Pat Neff Hall with its magnificent colonial architecture.

Beautiful campus to walk around.
We visited the campus in late December during the vacation period. Baylor is a beautiful campus to walk around and enjoy as a few other couples were. I recommend starting at Coffee Grounds to the South / West, walking through campus to the river, and visiting the Texas Ranger museum. You can cross the river to the stadium, or walk along the river to the Waco suspension bridge.

Took a Drive ...
Took a drive around the outer roads of campus and then onto campus, to the extent you could get there. Was really trying to see what things look like in terms of students and others being out and about. Seemed quieter, but perhaps it was just my timing. Some students wearing masks and some not wearing masks. It’s a very pretty Campus with a variety of architecture, older and newer.
