Private soda-history and custom-bottle experiences
Tour soda history privately, then personalize a bottled blend
Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute
The Extreme Pepper Experience pairs a private guided tour of the museum’s two historic buildings with its Make-A-Soda activity. Guests combine offered commercial soda bases and flavorings, then personalize a sealed bottle with a decal. The museum interprets soft-drink equipment and memorabilia; its historic bottling machinery is display-only, not a working factory.
