$BaCl_2$ crystals were grown by using the Czochralski method, and their scintillation properties were measured. The emission spectrum was located in the range of $370{sim}450$ nm, peaking at about 400 nm. The fluorescence decay time was approximately 75.9 ns for 662 keV ${gamma}$-rays excitation. The energy resolution was about 24.4 % for $^{137}Cs$ 662 keV ${gamma}$-rays, and the ${alpha}/{eta}$ ratio to $alpha$ particles from a $^{210}Po$ 5.4 MeV was about 0.25.
