Texas Sports Hall of Fame & Texas Rangers Museum – Waco
Lunch on your own
Thursday, Jan. 25, $39 pp
Depart SCPL 8:45 a.m.; return 5 p.m. Tickets for this event go on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 1 @ 8 a.m. Enjoy an interactive tour of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Watch sports clips in the Tom Landry Theater, compare hand and shoe sizes to those of NBA greats and take a look at the evolution of tennis rackets. See a Heisman Trophy up close, find out what made George Foreman one of the best in history, and walk through The Southwest Conference college athletics exhibit. For anyone who enjoys Monday night football, considers ball park hotdogs a delicacy or knows that Sweet Sixteen doesn't mean a girl’s 16th birthday, this museum is a must see. Rudy's is our lunch-on-your-own stop, and whether you choose slow smoked brisket, sausage, ribs or chicken, have it sliced, stuffed, or sandwiched, you will find they have earned their stars for good Texas barbeque. Following lunch, we will make a quick stop at the Baylor Bear Habitat, home to Baylor mascots Joy and Lady before heading to the Texas Ranger Museum. The Texas Rangers are some of the most colorful heroes in American history. Established in 1823 they brought peace to an untamed frontier, and they are a famous and highly respected crime-fighting force. Following a 45 minute movie, you will have free time to explore exhibits and the history of the men and women who wear the Texas Star. Ticket cost includes transportation and museum fees.
