Mayborn Museum Complex explores the natural sciences and cultural history of Central Texas on Baylor University's Waco campus.

Hands-on discovery areas complement historical and natural-history displays, while an outdoor historic village adds another setting to explore. Changing exhibitions give visitors additional reasons to return.
Check current admission, exhibition dates, and historic-village access before arriving. Hands-on activities and special programs may follow their own schedules, so review the calendar if a particular experience interests you. Allow time for several sections and use the museum's visitor parking directions rather than general campus parking.
Visitor details reviewed October 18, 2026. Check official visitor information for current access, admission, and operating arrangements. View on OpenStreetMap.
