First time here. If you're interested in the Texas Rangers or just Texas and U.S. history, you'll enjoy the displays here. There is an optional 40 minute documentary about the Rangers. Even if you're just into historic guns, you'll like it here. They have one of the automatic rifles used to take down Bonnie and Clyde. The display of historic badges is amazing. Give yourself 45 minutes to an hour for a self-guided tour and don't forget the gift shop at the end. I highly recommend this museum and I'll be coming back.

Lots of good information and cool artifacts. I learned a lot. Gun enthusiasts, war heads, native Texans, and history buffs will love this museum! Good job, Waco!! As an added bonus the oldest cemetery in Waco is right next door, too.

The museum is very well organized, with every item of history in the areas properly related to its point in time. The interior is beautiful and structured proper, giving room for information to be put on the walls in a viewable location. Each item has its own interesting backstory and provides context put into understandable sentences.I had some confusion with the building the museum was located in. The woman at the front desk of the Waco Welcome Center quickly and clearly told us where to enter, which is the large building to the left. Tickets were 10$ for adults ages 13 to 59, 8$ for seniors 60 and over, and 4$ for children 6 to 12, with 5 and under given free entry. They also do military/law enforcement discounts, with military being 8$ and law enforcement being 6$.Overall, great museum if you’re looking to dive deeper into the Texas Rangers’ history!

Me and my wife took a last-minute weekend trip to Waco, and this was one of the stops we wanted to check out.What a great spot of history for Texas Rangers. If you're interested, there's a documentary to watch at 12:30 pm and it takes about 50 minutes. There are plenty of seats.There may be some other times to watch the film. Check for times. And check out the gift shop.I would highly recommend this place.

If you like guns, rangers and learn about them this is great place. They had so much information on how rangers came into existence and various types of guns they used. They also had a documentary on rangers which was really informative. The whole place will take about 3 hours. If you want to read everything about guns then add more time. The tickets are not expensive at all just 10 per adult and they do have discounts too.The guns the rangers used are beautiful. They also have a beautiful gift shop. My husband really enjoyed it. We are planning on bringing my father in-law here too as he loves Texas Rangers.

What an amazing place. Anyone who enjoys Texas now, anyone fleeing their lawless states (California, New York) can come and appreciate what it took to make a once lawless ruthless state (during reconstruction) to a very polite society with its law abiding citizenry. This museum is amazing and a hidden jem off of the Baylor campus.

If you like museums, history and everything about rangers, that’s a great museum to visit in Waco. Very interesting, informative, well organised and full of facts, paintings and pictures about rangers in Texas. No need to buy tickets in advance, not crowded, spacious. Absolutely recommend to visit. Adult ticket price is 10 dollars and kids till 12 years old 4 dollars each.

A museum that captivated my attention.Such a large display of beautiful custom engraved weapons along with antique arms and criminally modified ones.From their beginnings (which I had no clue of) to today's law enforcement. The good Rangers and the bad Rangers. From tracking criminals to their captures or demise.Plan on watching the movie and spending a couple hours or more.

This museum is so worth it, you're going to need a few hours to do it. Do not make the mistake I did and think it would be a short ordeal. I felt so bad when I didn't get to experience it all because I didn't dedicate more time to it and sadly it was closing.As stated, I actually came here after taking a look at another attraction close by and did not realize just how jam-packed full of information it is. If you like history than you're going to want to read all the descriptions and really take it all in. There is so much about Texas one can learn from this museum. There is artwork here as well. I can see children becoming a little angstsy but there are fun things for them as well like the cute toys in the gift shop and the Lone Ranger photo area (so much fun!)It's just surprising how comprehensive the exhibits are, everything from clothing to boots, weapons, etc it is a lot to see and a definite must-do when in Waco.
