    What makes it fun

    Do you and your significant other have a significant love for Dr. Pepper? If so, you should head over to the Dr. Pepper Museum! Located at the original 1906 Dr. Pepper bottling plant, the Dr. Pepper Museum is home to one of the best collections of soft drink memorabilia in the world. Not all of the items are Dr. Pepper related. In fact, the Dr. Pepper Museum welcomes all brands of soft drinks from Pepsi-Cola to something called Kickapoo Joy Juice. Admission includes a Dr. Pepper from the Soda Fountain. For an additional fee you can even make your own soda!

    Visited the Dr. Pepper museum and had a wonderful time with my family… Everyone was friendly and the facility was very well kept.

    Has some racist tones, frequently says "the native Americans did..." but doesn't say which natives, despite giving incredibly specific origins to the white people "polish," "russian and german jews," "anglo-irish." Native Americans aren't a monolith and live in a area much larger than eurpoe and deserve to be named. Not naming the specific groups is racist and erasure.Also they don't serve food! Only sugar water.

    Educational and fun. Simple time. Good way to spend some of your time in Waco. We all know about Dr pepper but rarely do we understand how things came to be. This goes back over 100 years to give insight and understanding to what became something that exists today.

    *** Fun Place for a Sunday Funday***The museum is small. Entrance fee is reasonable. It was very interactive and informative. Definitely take your time to plan your trip. We drove from Houston without any plans so once we left the Museum we really didn't know what to do next!

    Unexpected good time. The Dr. Pepper Museum is walking through history of invention, perseverance, families, hardships & determination to make a successful product. In the end you get to savor your favorite drink.

    If you are a HUGE fan of Dr. Pepper, then I suggest you come here and learn the history of how soda became a thing and how Dr. Pepper was discovered. If you have mobility limitations there is an elevator to take you to the different floors. The meuseum has a cute gift shop and for an extra $10 each you can make your own soda or do a tasting of soda. It's worth the extra money but book ahead on the website. Parking cost between $5-10 dollars but if you don't mind walking a little there are free spots around the area. Nice little day trip!

    Such a unique place with lots of history! It has 3 floors filled with information and unique items. The employee who sold us our tickets was so nice and friendly. Very busy on the weekend. We opted to not wait for the free soda because the line was so long. I hope to be back to do the taste a soda and make a soda experiences!

    What an amazing experience! Three floors of Dr. Pepper history, another separate building with even more Dr. Pepper history, including a free Dr. Pepper drink. Only $12.00 dollars per individual, free for children 4 and younger. The gift shop was also neat, with plenty of Dr. Pepper trinkets to buy. Took my wife and I, along with a very, dear friend of ours and her two sons, about two hours to check the whole experience out. No wonder this museum was packed as it is truly a must see experience if you're in Waco, TX.

    It was such a fun experience! Very reasonably priced. No long wait. We toured both buildings, main one has three floors. The history behind it all was very interesting. The gift was so cool with so many things to choose from. We purchased an ornament, cup, sticker, and a hat. We did also receive a free drink. At the end we also purchased a float! So good, and kiddos loved it too.
