Your generous support is critical for the Mayborn Museum to accomplish its mission to encourage diverse audiences to explore their surroundings and discover their connection to the broader world. Your giving spirit results in additional facilities and exhibit upgrades, and enhances educational resources and services.

We are preparing for our largest renovation in Mayborn history. The first phase will provide innovative upgrades to the natural science and cultural history galleries. New exhibits will include an Acrocanthosaurus (a big meat-eating dinosaur!) that comes to life every ten minutes, a replica of the Waco Suspension Bridge that walks guests through Central Texas’ history, and life-sized bronze mammoths at the entrance of the museum by renowned wildlife sculptor, Tom Tischler.

Our Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village is coming to life again with our fourth season of Christmas Lights in the Village, presented by Reliant. Don't miss your chance to take an enchanted night time walk through our charming historic village this Christmas. Santa Claus will be back along with our petting zoo and train! See you there!
