Dr Pepper Museum, Waco

Fun place to learn about history in Waco and how Dr. Pepper was created! Plenty of exhibits spanning across two buildings to include that include the old corner store and soda shop, and examples of old soda manufacturing machines. Plenty of old Dr. Pepper bottles and cans and interesting facts to read. At the end of the exhibits there are live demonstrations and a small cafe and gift shop where they serve soda and ice cream. Each visitor gets a free soda but be prepared for a long line. It was so long on the day we visited, that we actually passed on the free soda because it the rest of the museum was enough for us. We visited on a weekend and were able to see the Magnolia Silos in the same trip and enjoyed learning about the history of our favorite soda!

If you have not had an opportunity to visit this musuem you need to go! I took my 7 and 5 year old and we had a blast. They have a lot of interactive things for the kids to play with. The museum is well laid out and has lots of fun facts about Dr. Pepper history. They had a cool presentation for the kids about soda and carbonation. The kids got to try fruit that was carbonated and they really enjoyed the experience. The best part was with the purchase of your ticket you get a small drink. We chose a Dr. Pepper but you could have chosen any of the option at the soda fountain. Definitely a fun place for the entire family to go.
