Great place. History of the Dr Pepper products but also, many "period" things. Reproduction of a Malt Shop/ Soda Fountain was fun.

I like Dr. Pepper but confess to rarely drinking it and am not a collector or a subscriber to the lore of Dr. Pepper. That said, I absolutely loved this museum. It is $8 to get in, or $6 for seniors. If you read everything, watch all the videos, you can spend hours there. The museum comprises three levels of... More

This museum is OK if you love Dr. Pepper. Not much things to see except many old bottles and packaging. $8 admission is overkill charge and not worth to pay. Ticket includes a tiny cup of sample, toooooo small.

We discovered the Dr. Pepper museum and just as a bit of serendipity decided to visit. In a relatively non-nondescript building the museum is filled with the rich history of both Dr. Pepper, created in Waco, and the city of Waco. Exhibits about tje origin of the soft drink and of carbonated beverages in general are educational and fun. A... More

Fun tour of museum. Inexpensive and worth it if you are visiting Waco. Plenty of parking. They also house a great pictorial archive of the 1952 tornado that hit Waco.

We were pleasantly surprised by this museum that manages to make Dr. Pepper interesting enough to fill a building. It was a well done exhibit and seemed recently updated to include just the right balance of reading and memorabilia. We spend 1-2 hours there. Free parking just across the street. Gift shop was small but I'm sure big Dr. Pepper... More

Don't bother unless you are a big Dr. Pepper fan. Certainly don't go out of your way. It's worth about 3 bucks, not the $8 they charge. On the other hand, a Dr. Pepper collector would probably love it.

My husband has been drinking Dr. Pepper since he was a kid so we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit & go through this museum! There is a reasonable fee to enter the museum - $8 for Adults, $5 for Kids, and $6 for Seniors. This is a small museum with a few floors of memorabilia although there... More

We went here before we went to the Zoo. They had some interested things to see. You just have to take your time and look/read everything and play the guessing games. The place is really not that big but we enjoyed ourselves. They give you a token to receive a free drink/float. I had a REAL homemade DR. Pepper which... More
