My daughter and I spent an entire afternoon here last Saturday exploring the grounds and gardens. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and unique. The many seats and benches throughout the property encourage quiet contemplation of your surroundings. We had a very enjoyable time and I look forward to going back for one of their picnic evenings!

Needs more cleaning of the areas where we eat and get beverages. Staff needs more training to make the experience better.

We had a fun time in the park. There are a lot of things to see here and a good walk in the woods. Our dog loved it too.

My GPS had trouble finding this place so make sure you check the map first. Unusually good food on site - prices are reasonable and lots of good choices. Sandwiches, Salads and regular pub food. If you have to spend a day at an arena this is a good one.

Take a walk around the Memorial stopping at each of the nine 18ft granite columns where you will learn about American Wars and Conflicts from the War of 1812 to the Wars of the Middle East. Read quotes from Presidents and Generals and see through the eyes of the veterans as you read their words during times of war. Feel the never ending gratitude as you read the names of fallen soldiers Wounded Warriors, POWs and heroes of the armed forces etched in granite. Walk amongst the pavers honoring local love ones and supporting our troops with personalized messages. A fountain, located in the center, is a gathering place for reflection and it's constant flow reminds us of the memory of our Veterans which will be kept alive forever at this Memorial. Open 7 days a week, the Memorial Association is proud to honor our men and women in uniform with the Memorial dedicated to preserving the legacy of all Veterans and active members of the American Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and National Guard during any period from all over the nation.

I really like this place for two reasons. The first being the meaning behind it. I love when veterans get the recognition they deserve and two I like that it is flat. I have an older dog and he doesn't do well on hills anymore. Great place!!!

We booked a Couples Massage Session. We arrived early for our appointment and these was plenty of parking available around the building even though it was pretty full. We were greeted and lead upstairs to the Spa Area. We filled out the necessary paperwork and then we were led to individual changing areas. We were staged in a preparation area which typically is separated men/women but because there were no other men we were put together. We were met by Steve and Drew and lead to the couples area. Great mood and good massage service - very relaxing. Once we were complete we were able to sit in a calming area before we went back to the dressing rooms. Overall very nice experience together. The cost is pretty pricey with proper tips but was a special event for us.

After seeing several friends post pictures on Facebook of the Big Bugs special exhibit at Tyler, I knew I wanted to take my kids there. After further researching Tyler on its website and seeing the pictures of the tree houses, I got even more excited to take them. It was everything I had expected and hoped for, and more. The Big Bugs were so cool to look at, and it was fun finding them throughout the property. My kids loved the tree houses. Each one was so different, unique, and fun to explore. Searching for bullfrogs in the marshy areas was another of my kids' favorite adventures of the day. There is so much to see in the way of plants, trees and nature and the walking paths are great throughout the property. I enjoyed it so much we bought a family membership. It will be awesome to visit Tyler again in the fall.

What a beautiful stadium and fantastic place to watch professional soccer. We have visited several times and always enjoyed ourselves. There are plenty of safe parking lots for tailgating. There aren't any bad seats in the stadium. Food prices are somewhat cheaper than MLB and NFL stadiums, but beer prices are similar. Look forward to going back soon.
