About the Business

Specialties

A museum dedicated to the nation's oldest major soft drink - Dr Pepper! We offer three floors of exhibits featuring information about many different soft drinks, as well as a carefully curated selection of our massive soft drink memorabilia collection. Exhibits change regularly! You can visit our soda fountain and gift shop any time without paying admission. Photo ops outside the Museum include a Dr Pepper Green 1940s delivery truck, one of three original neon signs from the Mockingbird Plant in Dallas, and a hand-painted advertising sign original to the site. Of course the front of the Museum building itself is visitors' favorite photo location. We are a two block walk from Magnolia Market and the famous silos, and about half a mile from the newest restaurants including Torchy's Tacos and In-N-Out Burger.

History

Established in 1991.

The Dr Pepper Museum was founded in 1988 and will be a recognized leader devoted to telling the story of Dr Pepper, the soft drink industry and entrepreneurship by serving as a resource for learning through innovative, interactive, and inspiring programming. The Dr Pepper Museum is a private, non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors elected by its membership. The Museum opened to the public in May 1991 and has hosted over 1,200,000 visitors. The Museum is housed in the 1906 Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company building located in downtown Waco. The 100 year-old building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Home of Dr Pepper." The Museum receives the support of Keurig Dr Pepper and its affiliated bottlers but is not owned or operated by them.
