Dinosaurs, natural history, human history, space exploration, hands-on exhibits, and an historic history village - this museum has something for everyone. A cast of Columbian mammoth fossils discovered near Waco and removed by university archeologists and students is displayed under a glass floor so visitors can walk and roll above the exhibit.
The main museum is accessible except for an early life exhibit that is too high, Some of the hands-on exhibits are not accessible. A few of the ramps in the village do not fit flush to the ground and require traveling over lumpy grass. Some of the buildings have plexiglass at the doorways for viewing the interiors. Reflections make it hard to see in.
If you have a little time go across the street to the
Martin Museum of Art. Th exhibit area is very small with works by the faculty, staff, and students.
The Baylor campus is very poorly designed for walking and rolling. There are few crosswalks, sidewalks and trails dead end, and curb cuts are missing.
The parking lot is small but RVs will fit if parked through the spaces. Most of the other lots are reserved for staff and students but visitors can park at the Mark and Paula Hurd Welcome Center which is about 1/3 miles west. There's plenty of room for any sized vehicle. Museum 31.55153, -97.1147
