Well worth the price of admission. 45 minute film shown throughout day which gives history of Rangers. A lot to take in.

Our family had a nice visit to this interesting museum. The kids enjoyed doing the scavenger hunt and that kept them engaged. We started our visit with the movie which helped our greater understanding and appreciation of the Rangers and the rest of the museum. There was A LOT in this little space with so much to read. We all... More

Reasonably priced. Before you wander among the displays, watch the 45 minute movie that gives the history of the Texas Rangers from their first organization up to today's duties. The extensive displays are very well presented with well written information cards. I think even children would find this museum interesting. Very interesting even to this Californian!!!

A must see if you are interested in our history of the past and the great men that lived it then and are still protecting us today. There was a very good film and lots of guns and equipment that was used..My friend found a record of her great grand father who served with the Texas Rangers in the 1800's... More

My husband is a fan of the TX Rangers, who always get the criminal. Film is good; museum covers Rangers from the beginning.

This small museum was surprisingly good and easy to find off I-35; easy-on and easy off the highway. It's a good and worthwhile break on that long stretch of road. My son and I took about an hour to look at the exhibits and watch the film. I learned a lot. Those Texas Rangers are amazingly brave people. It traces... More

The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum is a must-do for families passing through Waco. It is packed with history, memorabilia, and hands-on exhibits for all ages. For the younger set, two levels of scavenger hunts available at the front desk provide incentive to explore the more text intense exhibits, while hands-on weapons displays and dress up photo ops...

This is the real mccoy! Everything you wanted to know about the history of the famous Texas Rangers. Actual pistols, saddles, videos, dioramas, even a movie room devoted to Hollywood movies about the Rangers (or actors who played them). The weapons collection is worth the visit. Also liked the Bonny & Clyde exhibit. Great bookstore with lots of Texas history... More
