Doc And Laddy’s

Doc and Laddy’s opened in 1998 off I-35 as a family fun park featuring go-karts, batting cages, and a 60-game arcade packed with ticket redemption favorites and classic racers like Daytona USA. It quickly became a weekend staple for Baylor students and Waco families thanks to weekday “Quarter Mania” promotions.

The venue closed in 2004 following a property sale; archived ads from the Waco Tribune-Herald mark both its grand-opening specials in August 1998 and a liquidation notice six years later. Although the park is gone, Central Texas nostalgia blogs still share photos of its neon-lit mini-golf castle and token dispensers.
