10. Texas Sports Hall of Fame

Learn about the Texas athletes who have distinguished themselves both on and off the field and arenas at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Divided into four separate halls of fame: the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Texas Tennis Hall of Fame, Texas High School Football Hall of Fame, and Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame, this museum complex pays tribute to some of Texas sports greats. One step inside the Texas Sports Hall of Fame will engage visitors in an interactive tour of the history of Texas athletics. Watch clips of important sports moments in Texas history in the Tom Landry Theater, show school spirit by singing along with the school songs from Texas universities, and compare hand and shoe sizes to those of NBA greats, with life-size replicas. Take a look at the evolution of tennis rackets (and wonder how low a professional's score would be if they played with one of those originals!), see a Heisman Trophy up close, and find out what made Texas boxer George Foreman one of the best in history. For anyone who enjoys Monday night football, considers baseball park hotdogs a delicacy or knows that the Sweet Sixteen doesn't necessarily refer to a girl's special birthday, this museum is a must-see on the list of Waco attractions.
