Dr Pepper Museum
About This Museum
You haven't really lived until you've paid homage to the birthplace of America's oldest major soft drink, right here in the heart of Waco. Stepping into the historic brick building feels like walking into a fizzy time capsule, where the air practically crackles with nostalgia. I spent a solid hour just marveling at the gorgeous old delivery trucks and walls plastered with vintage advertisements that are pure art. The best part? Getting to craft my own custom soda at the end—it’s way harder than it looks but an absolute blast.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is the original 'Liquid Laboratory' where Dr Pepper was first perfected, complete with beakers and old formulas. Don't miss the stunning collection of neon signs and the fully restored 1930s delivery truck that looks ready to hit the road.
Visitor Information
It's super easy to find at 300 S Fifth Street, right downtown. Grab your tickets online to skip any potential lines, especially on weekends when it gets busy with families and soda enthusiasts.
Architecture & Building
Housed in the beautifully preserved, three-story brick building that was the first dedicated Dr Pepper bottling plant, it's a fantastic example of early 20th-century industrial architecture.
