  1. The stops are really interesting. Kids would love the dinosaur museum, so would I. Museums are always enthralling. Slovacek caught my attention as it sounds similar to Sovakia and now I know why. Overall, it’s an amazing roadtrip from Fort Worth to Waco.

  2. When you’re driving with kids, it is always nice to have a few stops to help them take a break and have fun. My daughter starts asking ‘are we there yet’ as soon as we get into the car! Haha… See and touch real dino bones at Keene – Dinosaur Science Museum and Research Center??? My dino crazy daughter is gonna have so much fun there! History of the West museum is interesting too.

  3. Wow! My boys are into dinosaurs these this and I think it would be cool if we visit the Dinosaur Science Museum and Research Center. Happy to know that the tickets are really cheap. Thank you for sharing this. Will make sure to setup an appointment.

  4. Very interesting stops! We’d love to see all those museums. They say, it’s not the destination but the journey, I guess in this case, it’s both! The kind of travel you’d want – seeing a lot and then settling to a beautiful destination. Must try all the kolaches 😀 I have forgotten my last trip to Slovakia and the Czech Republic!

  5. Had me sold on Willie Nelson’s hometown, what a legend. I also love the water towers around america. I don’t know why, but we just don’t have them in the U.K and the odd tanks we do are build under ground or in a normal building.

    1. Originally I’m from Asia. so, the water tower is still amazed me, especially when they painted or shaped differently.

  6. So many exciting stops in a short distance. It’s only 91.2 miles from Fort Worth to Waco.I think it’s a great idea for a road trip. Dinosaur Science Museum and Research Center seems to be a great fun and educational place. I would like to see Hillsboro City Library as I love books and visiting libraries worldwide. For sureSlovacek’ss Kolaches is a great place to stop.

  7. The road trip from Fort worth to Waco is indeed a cool one with some interesting stop overs. I would love to visit legendary Willie Nelson’s hometown, the Keene’s dinosaur museum, heritage museum and get a taste of sweet and savory kolaches in Slovacek’s.

  8. I love these short drives and especially when there are so many things to do. Museums have always fascinated me and is a great way to learn history. Would visit Hillsboro and Dinosaur Science Museum for sure. Love the Church as well. Lovely Architecture.

  9. I like that you checked out how to find some great spots on the shorter road trip from Fort Worth to Waco. We are always up for a detour to see a cool spot like Willie Nelson’s home town. And since we have never tried a kolaches, we would have to stop and finally try this as a sweet treat.

  10. It looks like you can definitely make it a couple of day’s trip, driving from Fort Worth to Waco. I would be very interested in visiting the dinosaurs museum, especially that they exhibit real bones. I can imagine this is a very popular destination for children too. You’ve sold that kolaches stop to me. I have never tried kolaches before, but from your photo, they look so delicious!

    1. Yes! You can make the trip to the museum as a day trip itself. You must try kolaches when you are somewhere in eastern Europe.

  11. I haven’t been to this part of the US. However, Slovacek sounds very Czech – and Kolace most certainly, too. I remember when my grandmother used to make them. But actually, all the stops sounds worth the…halt 😉

    1. Yep! It’s where immigrants from Czech that settled in West. They still keep the tradition of kolaches and have annual Czech Festival.

  12. I would love to go to the dinosaur museum. One of my favorite memories as a kid, was seeing the dinosaur exhibit at the Museum of Natural History, in NYC.
