    A lot more history behind this beverage company from it partnerships and acquisitions, to its leadership. Well worth the small $10 admission fee

    It's really fun if you like vintage stuff. I'm 15 but I still found it really interesting and definitely made me crave a Dr.Pepper afterwards. Fun for everyone!

    Get a free drink with your admission ticket or get $1 off menu items (get 2 scoops of ice cream for $4 or a root beer float for $5). Mix your own soda flavor!

    You can buy a six pack of pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper in the gift shop for about $5. You can also get a souvenir cup filled with Waco DP at the soda fountain for an extra $1.

    Charles Alderton invented Dr. Pepper, first called "Waco," in a local pharmacy. He then began selling it as a syrup mixed with carbonated water at his soda fountain. Watch this video for more info. Read more

    Fun way to kill a couple of hours (max). Best part is the real Soda jerk. Intrigued by the Dr. Pepper floats.

    Lots of amazing marketing material here with some questionable racial allusions made back in the day.

    Had high expectations, but the museum itself was a let down, especially after having been to World of Coke recently. Fountain is the lone highlight of this place.

    Created right here in Waco at the Old Corner Drug Store. Learn about the history of sodas, DP, and even Waco. Then, get a genuine DP from a soda jerk like they used to do at 10, 2,& 4.
