What airport do you fly into for Magnolia Market?
Here is how to plan the perfect trip to Magnolia Market in Waco Texas: – Go EARLY, Plan ahead, wake up early, and get on the road. This is my #1 tip to making sure this is a positive experience. It can get very crowded and I have been told that the bakery line can wrap around the building and be a 2-3 hour wait. 
Here is a key tip : the bakery opens at 7:30 am which is 90 minutes before the market opens. You can get first dibs of the freshly made baked goods and enjoy the grounds without the crowds. Another tip is to have someone wait in line while you park. I dropped off my son at the bakery to stand in line while we parked. 
Go early = less people = less time waiting in line. If you can’t arrive early, try to go later in the day when the crowds start to dissipate. After 5:00, the crowds start to die down a little. 
Park for FREE, There are signs everywhere offering parking spaces for $5-$10 and you can take those if you want but there is free parking that is connected to the property, off 8th Street. There was plenty of parking available when we arrived. There is also street parking available on 6th Street, 8th Street, and Webster. 
Come HUNGRY, There are so many food options at the Magnolia Silos. Of course there is the Silo Baking Co. which is a must hit. I am baker and picky about my baked goods and they offered some amazing pastries – both savory and sweet. 
The Silo Baking Co. is definitely known for their beautiful cupcakes and their lemon lavender steals the show. The lemon cake was light and moist and the frosting had the perfect balance of sweetness. They also offer five cookie choices such as a classic chocolate chip with peanut butter chips and walnuts. 
Food trucks line the Magnolia Market at the Silos and are a must try. They offer Southern food, BBQ, pizza, grilled cheese, burgers, crepes, sandwiches, salads, and even cold pressed juices. If you want to get in your car and drive, Chip and Joanna’s brand new restaurant just opened called, Magnolia Table. 
There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your food. There are white picnic tables everywhere and a large grassy area. Bring a blanket and lay it on the grass to enjoy a picnic. Get ready to SHOP, Joanna Gaines has effortless style and it is evident in every single part of Magnolia Market at the Silos.
It feels so cozy and warm and you may want to buy the entire shop and transport it into your home. It is a place of inspiration. Magnolia Market at the Silos offer large things such as signs and clocks but also offer things that can easily fit in a suitcase such as jewelry, cookbooks, tea towels, candles, caramel leather handbags, and small decor items.
It may be worth it to leave some room in your suitcase for all of your finds!
- They even offer shipping which may cost an arm and a leg but if you find something you have to have, it may just be worth it.
Take PICTURES, This may be a no-brainer but sometimes we can forget the small details unless we take photos of our experience. There are so many beautiful spots to snap photos – in the garden, with the green or red truck, at the Magnolia sign on the silos, in front of the store, in the bakery and so many more.
Explore everything and be amazed at the attention to detail in every single aspect of the Silos. RELAX and ENJOY, Once you’ve experienced the market, the bakery, and the food trucks, it is time to sit back and relax. Enjoy the black and white bean bag type chairs on the lawn, play a game of soccer or throw some bags.
Bring a blanket and sit on the lawn and people watch. It is a beautiful space and it is nice to sit back and take it all in. HOURS: Open Monday – Saturday. CLOSED Sundays. Silo Baking Company is open from 7:30 am – 6:00 pm. The Magnolia Market is open from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm.

: How to plan the perfect trip to Magnolia Market in Waco Texas
Do you ever see Chip and Joanna at the Silos?
Rarely do you ever see them at the Silos. They are there though. On a rare occasion Chip has stepped out on the stairwell and will wave or give a shout out to the crowd below. Good to remember that they are super busy these days with all their business ventures and filming.
If you love our buddy, Jimmy Don, he likes to take loads of signs to the Silos on Thursdays. He loves meeting fans and will take photos and autograph signs he has made! He also has a new shop in Crawford. There are maps at The Coffee Shop Cafe in McGregor with info. Cedar Chest Antiques Mall (as seen all the time on Fixer Upper) is in McGregor too, along with Magnolia House.
Enjoy your trip to Central Texas!
Is Magnolia in Waco worth it?
WHERE IS MAGNOLIA LOCATED? – Magnolia is located right in the center of Waco, Texas. The city is about two hours from Austin and two hours from Dallas. If you aren’t familiar with Magnolia Market, it was created by Chip and Joanna Gaines, who I’m sure you know if you clicked on this post.
They are a husband and wife team that has a famous television series about home design and renovation called Fixer Upper on HGTV. They built Magnolia Market in 2015 and have expanded considerably since then. Yes, this place is super cute and a fun way to spend the afternoon but honestly, I wouldn’t drive cross-country solely to visit.
If you happen to be in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fredericksburg, or passing through Waco for a trip, then I think it’s worth the visit. Magnolia is composed of places to shop, eat, and hang out! You can even stay in one of their renowned Fixer Upper homes.
