Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute

About

Historic home of the nation's oldest major soft drink - Dr Pepper!

Description

The Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute is open year-round except on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Years Day. Our 2017 hours are listed below.

On May 27, 2016 we opened the Emerson Holt - Ted Getterman Exhibit Gallery, Peggy Pepper's Emporium, and Frosty's Soda Shop in the East Wing Building. These spaces add an additional 10,000 square feet to our previous exhibit and visitor services space. Because a typical Museum visit takes longer now, our hours have been adjusted accordingly.

Soda Fountain and Gift Shop open until 5:30 pm
Last ticket to the Museum gallery sold at 4:00 pm

What a cool experience! So much history at the Dr pepper museum. History of sparkling water, mineral water, Dr pepper, and all kinds of other soda's. Museum also had pictures and information about the tornado of 1953 that destroyed a large portion of Waco. Museum tour includes a fountain drink as well. So much history here. Great way to cool off indoors and learn about the history of soda! Definitely recommend this place.
Super Place to take a break from driving for a few hours. Much more to see and do than we expected. Try the Taste-a-soda... We got 0 right but had a great time with Gale anyway. My kids 16&14 actually enjoyed the whole place. Don't miss the Dr. Pepper floats. Seriously.... Don't miss them.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
I don't think just anybody would be as excited by this museum as we were, but we are so glad we stopped! It's not World of Coca-Cola Atlanta, but isn't trying to be, and that's what we loved! It's a small, non-profit museum in an historic building telling a story about the rise of soft drink, the bottling processes, the employee experiences, the international expansion, the power of marketing, and the passion of one of Dr. Pepper's most devoted CEOs-W. W. "Foots" Clements. My 16 year-old said he preferred it to World of Coke though that was about 4 years ago. That may have also partly been because it's smaller size and cheaper ticket meant we only spent about 2 hours and didn't burn out the kids. Mom and I had been through here almost 20 years ago and were shocked how much it seemed to have grown. If it was there before, we missed the 7-Up section and soda jerk / soda floats completely before, but not this time! Who SHOULD visit? I'd say it is definitely better for someone who is interested in soda pop or history in general, willing to do a lot of reading, and doesn't require hands-on exhibits to stay occupied. A bit of nostalgia helps, too, whether you're of the "10, 2, and 4" era or "Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?" Now, time to go try a hot Dr. Pepper...
Love it!!! Definitely a great experience for a Dr.Pepper fan or really any soda fan! Did the taste testing and make your own soda exhibits that were so fun to do. Book in advance!! Great photo ops too and awesome gift shop. The virtual tour was kind of hard to follow and not really up to date with the museum, so it would be great if you could update it and not make it a video but audio only
Definitely an experience to share!!! There was a lot of information about the Dr. Pepper company, how it was made, where it came from and even where it is now. If you have an afternoon, Definitely check it out!!! Don't forget to get your free drink or dollar off of a float! Which I recommend!Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
Drove into Waco to visit the motherland, and it was a great experience. The lines to get tickets in my case were about 20 minutes. And the line to get your free Dr Pepper was close to an hour from the man I spoke to in line. We did the Make A Soda Event & the Pick A Soda event. Both were fun and I recommend doing atleast one to make the trip worth it. If I had to pick, I’d do the Pick A Soda event. The exhibits were a fun walkthrough but not the most exciting. I appreciated the good AC and classic old architecture mostly. It’s a quick walk to Magnolia Farms if you want to check out both. But if I had to give one piece of advice, if you buy one of the events online and don’t have a ticket, show up plenty early so you have time to wait in line. Fun place and I’m glad it exists!
Overall fun trip. The museum was smaller than I anticipated but still had a lot of awesome vintage Dr. Pepper memorabilia which was fun to see and walk through, just doesn’t take very long to walk through. Was a fun visit, but I think one visit is enough to see it all : Admission comes with a dr pepper from the soda shop which is nice. Parking is $10 in a lot right next to the museum itself!
Very nice awesome experience. If you are a pepper, then you should go. It isn't big and yet not that small, but you can learn a thing or two about it. It's like a one-time visit, so it's inexpensive the entrance only thing I was there was very early when it barely opened and yet I didn't get a chance to do a coke on my own. They should have more tutors or 2 rooms at same time many people from different city's come probably to experience that and yet go home wanting to know that experience so yea i was dissapointed I went on a Saturday and yet another opening till Monday by that time I'm gone home to my city. 8 hours away.. and many others live further. And P.S Dr. PEPPER, can you please bring back that, Dr. PEPPER gum with the same ingredients as back then. Don't change it. But bring it back!.
Interesting exhibit of the history of Dr. Pepper. Tried to schedule a taste testing visit, but the system wouldn't allow me to. Gave up and just walked around. Really enjoyed the Dr. Pepper float and my son liked the Berry and Cream soda. A little pricey for a small drink, but spring the museum. I would like to go without kids because they weren't interested in reading any of the signs/ history, but the displays were intriguing.
Excellent museum! Kids love Dr. Pepper and on our way to Dallas we stopped and it was awesome experience! Very neat to read and see the history of the drink, various photos, equipment, tools, first bottles and more! At the end tried the float and was tasty! Kids loved it! Recommended it!
