Mayborn Museum Complex, Waco

Hotels in Waco

This expansive museum complex includes exhibits on natural and social history of this region. Learn more about Waco with a visit to the Waco at the Crossroads of Texas Natural History Exhibits, which includes three walk-in dioramas of a limestone cave, Texas forest, and Waco mammoth experience.

A popular area with children is the Discovery Center, where 16 themed rooms offer hands-on learning in areas that range from vertebrates to TV weather to Native Americans.

Beyond the museum walls, the learning continues in 15 wood frame buildings found on the 13-acre Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village, a recreation of nineteenth-century cotton town. It includes a schoolhouse, a mercantile store, and, of course, a Wild West saloon. The buildings, once the property of the Governor, were moved to this site from a plantation community in Liberty County, Texas and restored by Baylor University.

Location: 1301 University Parks Dr.
