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!

Great history lesson on Texas Rangers,crime, and guns. Bring your reading glasses cause there is alot of small print reading in the displays. I got bored after awhile,honestly, I'm just not that interested in guns and endless displays of them. But I did enjoy the displays of historical crime and the Rangers who help solve them. We didn't have kids with us, but I did note they have a Jr Rangers program for the kids to as they explore the museum, I didn't see that there were any real interactive parts to the museum. Nice gift shop and good documentary film showing. This place is worth the detour, with beautiful displays and real treasure peices if you love guns, and Texas history!

A place to learn about Rangers origin, development and their importance in Texas history. There is a lot of interesting data to learn. The museum has a lot of information to read and also objects to see. If you like to read information, you can spend easily more than two hours. In my opinion, this museum is more enjoyable for adult public because historical information could be a little dense for kids, but objects are great. There is a room where they run a 45 minutes documental that it is included with your admission. It is worth it to see it. During my visit, the documetal started after I saw all the museum so, I was able to rest a little.

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.

This was not my first time to the museum, however it has been at least 20 years. Never disappoints always interesting, new displays and added artifacts. Traveling through Waco in traffic, do yourself a favor, stop and learn about the Texas Rangers. You can sit in traffic later. This was my dad's favorite museum and we were a family that hit every museum in the area of wherever we were. Loved the selection of the gift shop too. The visitors bureau is on the premises too.. don't drive through Texas, stop and learn about Texas. See ya' down the road.

We saw the water, walked through the walking trail while seeing all the beautiful and colorful rocks on the columns of the bridge, the lake looked beautiful and full of life even though it was night time. The bridge lights grabbed most of the attention with the passive blues and purples reflecting all over the water. We were able to see the McLane Stadium front entrance and some of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame statues. There were even picnic tables all over to sit down and enjoy the view that not many get to experience at night.
