20 Instagram Worthy Walls of Waco, Texas: A Scavenger Hunt for Murals After Visiting Magnolia Market

You all know how much I love Waco, Texas but did you know I also love a good painted mural wall too? I'm kind of obsessed and I've been hunting them down in nearly every town I visit. I love how an otherwise blank wall that could be an eye sore can easily be turned into an artistic backdrop. Last time I was in Waco, I did my best to hunt down every mural wall I could. I know more and more are popping up all the time, {so much so, that I had to send out my son and his girlfriend to find a few!} but this list should keep you busy for a bit and as you check them off, you just might find a new hidden gem you didn't know existed.

20 Instagram Worthy Walls of Waco, Texas

1. Magnolia Market

601 Webster Ave, Waco, TX Of course you are stopping at Magnolia Market when you are in Waco {duh!} but don't miss this wall! This wall used to be something you had to walk past when the store first opened, but with a different parking situation now, you may not find yourself on the right side of this hand painted sign. Walk around to the back of the building where the main entrance is and you will find this wall.

2. Silos Baking Co. Just inside the Magnolia Market bakery, you will find a beautiful white subway tile wall and not really a mural, but a rotating letter board. It's a fun Instagram shot from inside.  Once you step outside you will find another mural on the side of the building, this one with stools lined up ready for your shot.

3. The Findery

501 S. 8th Street, Waco, TX Just down the street from Magnolia Market, you have to pop into The Findery. It's a cute shop where you will find a little bit of everything including this City with a Soul mural. Located around back, it's the perfect backdrop to let everyone know where you are!

4. My Greatest Find

324 S 6th St, Waco, TX Another mural within walking distance of the Silos is this beautiful floral mural. On the side of Savage Finds antique shop, this is one of those beautiful murals you don't want to miss!

5. Dear Waco

910 La Salle Ave, Waco, TX This mural is located on a shop called Shades of Shabby. If you remember, it was one of the shops I recommended in my 20 Places You Should Visit in Waco {thinking beyond Magnolia Market}.

1125 S 8th St, Waco, TX On the back patio of this yummy local ice cream shop, you will find several adorable Instagram worthy signs to take a selfie of with your waffle cone. In the front, you will sometimes find a vintage ice cream truck. While it's not a wall, it's a pretty awesome Instagram backdrop if you are looking for one.
