The number of participants per field trip or group tour is dependent upon the capacity of the museum and staffing needs.

We require a minimum of 20 participants per field trip or group tour.

Groups of more than 70 may be expected to split into multiple sessions.

Group minimums are not required for groups with special needs.

All field trips and guided group tours must be booked at least 7 days in advance.

Groups that are wanting to visit within 7 days of their request should request a self-guided group tour.

Please note that a self-guided group tour requires at least 24 hours notice of your group’s visit. Weekends must be booked by Fridays at 5 PM.

Self-guided field trips are not offered.

A guided group tour includes a one hour tour of the Museum’s two historic buildings guided by a Museum Educator. Each participant receives a glass bottle of Real Sugar Dr Pepper.

A self-guided group tour does not include a Museum Educator as a tour guide. Guests may explore the Museum at their leisure. Each participant receives a can of Dr Pepper.

Our Make-A-Soda Experience is not available for private group bookings at this time.

The Make-A-Soda Program add-on is available for field trips only. Please visit the Field Trips page for more information.

For field trips, we accept debit or credit cards, cash, and checks.

For group tours, we accept debit or credit cards, and checks on a case-by-case basis.

The Dr Pepper Museum does not accept purchase orders.

The Museum has two reserved bus parking spots for field trips that have booked in advance. They are available of a first-come first-serve basis.

Bus parking is not available for group tours. 

Buses are not able to park in the Museum’s paid lot. The Museum does not reserve individual spots in the paid lot for field trips or group tours.

More information can be found in the Bus Guide on the Field Trips or Group Tours pages.

There are two sets of 6ft picnic tables inside the Courtyard, a set of 4 (approx. 24-32 people) and a set of 8 (approx. 48-64 people). These spaces are open to the public, so they are not reservable for field trips or tour groups. Groups are more than welcome to eat lunch onsite, but they are not guaranteed space.

The Dr Pepper Museum does not procure lunch for groups.
