SOLD OUT - Mammoth Site & Dr Pepper Museum – Waco
Lunch on your own – Rudy’s BBQ
Thursday, Feb. 2, $44 pp
Depart SCPL 8 a.m.; return 5 p.m. Tickets for this event go on sale on Thursday, December 1 @ 8 a.m. The story of the Waco Mammoth has captured the imagination of Central Texans for almost 40 years. Two young men searching for arrowheads along the Brazos River on a spring day in 1978 led to the nation’s first and only recorded discovery of a nursery herd of Pleistocene mammoths. Take a guided tour of our newest National Park, walk through the Dig Shelter with fossil remains on view, and hear the story of this amazing site. Our next stop is Rudy's BBQ for lunch on your own. Slow smoked brisket, sausage, ribs, chicken and turkey with all the fixin's, a tour through BBQ heaven. After lunch explore another Waco discovery, Dr Pepper, America's first major soft drink brand. A guided tour will take us back to the early days of Dr Pepper and through a treasure trove of memorabilia – bicycles, pedal cars, calendars, clocks, Dr Pepper advertisements and merchandise. A new gift shop and soda fountain and 7000 square feet have been added to the original museum. Our tour will end with a frosty Dr Pepper float! NOTE: The Dig Shelter is a ¼ mile walk on a concrete path; the Dr Pepper tour is approx. 45 minutes of walking. Ticket cost includes transportation, museum tours, and Dr Pepper float.
