If you like sports you should definitely visit this place. A must for sports fans! The museum is huge and has a lot of information. I didn’t know Texas had this many variety of sports. They even had a couple movies about how tennis balls were made that I loved and one featuring the 6th Super Bowl. That was really awesome. My husband is a big football, baseball and basket ball fan and he loved it. Lots of exhibits. Would take a true sports fan about 3 to 4 hours to fully see the museum. Glad we visited. There were not many people and it was so peaceful and we could take our time in every exhibit.

This place is AWESOME! I came here with my parents for my birthday and it was such a good experience. So many legendary players from Texas! This place is so much bigger than it looks from the outside and is full of so much knowledge, memorabilia and just a genuinely good time to relax and learn about some Texan legends! The staff is super friendly and the building is very well maintained and very clean.

Chase was AWESOME... I had to go to Waco for my girlfriends family reunion and had some time to check out the Texas Sports Hall of Fame... very cool place with a lot of great memorabilia... really had a great time. Also Chase who was the only one there was super cool and welcoming and showed me where everything was... definitely will be back. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers

If you are a sports lover, this place is great. If you want to take your time to look at/ read things, don't take your young kids. But if you just want to browse, then this is good. Most of the interactive things weren't working, which would have been better for the kids. But we still enjoyed the exhibits.

I loved this experience so much. I just got into sports about a year ago, so it was a great experience. I learned a few things and enjoyed my time with my son. I loved their interactive section, and so did my son. We will return at some point.

Lots of football history of course. The displays were really cool. I liked that they were able to get so many people to donate what are essentially priceless sports memorabilia. If your visiting Waco, this should be one of your stops.
