Titanic – The Exhibition, poignantly and passionately presents a story that has been told and retold.  Upon arrival at the Mayborn Museum in Waco, board the Titanic with a replica ticket from the White Star Line. Each boarding pass includes the name of an actual passenger, and you may track that passenger’s experience through the exhibit.  The Galleries feature artifacts recovered from the wreck site, room re-creations, and personal histories, each highlighting a different chapter in the compelling story of Titanic's maiden voyage.  If time allows, you may also explore the museum’s permanent collections which include Waco at the Crossroads, The Mammoth Site, and Strecker's Cabinets of Curiosity.

Lunch is on your own at Rudy's BBQ.  Sliced, chopped, stuffed in a baker, or layered on a sandwich, Rudy's slow smoked meats are first class in Texas BBQ.  

After lunch explore the heritage of our Texas railroads at Temple's historical Santa Fe Depot.  Exhibits include antique railroad equipment and model trains, along with an original Scott and White Clinic display and the history of the Harvey House, home to the Harvey Girls and luxury rail travel.

Finally, engage your complex decision making to choose just the right creamy delicious cone or cup at Freezing Point Ice Cream.  List of flavors and mix-ins provided. 

Ticket cost includes transportation, museum fees, and ice cream.  Maximum tickets: 37
