Loved the personal touch of the winery. Owners were in Germany but the daughter was there and was very informative of the wines. Enjoyed the visit and the wines!

What a nice little gem to find in Bullard, Texas!
Took my visiting brothers in law (both veterans) there on a Wednesday afternoon. The museum takes you on a time line from the Revolutionary War through the recent wars on terrorism. The artifacts and history were well presented, interesting and educational. We spent 2 hours there and could have stayed another 30 minutes. The museum closes at 3 PM. We were all quite impressed.
Veterans receive complimentary admission.

We are local to this zoo & I feel I tend to take it for granted after visiting other zoos across the country. It's a good sized zoo with LOTS of neat animals to see (some of our favorites include the white tigers, the meerkats & the golden lion tamarin). Be sure to bring some cash & quarters to feed the ducks, fish, birds & giraffe ($5 for the giraffe). We have a membership & go monthly sometimes several times a month & my daughter STILL loves to go after 6 years. I would recommend it for animal lovers.

I sure many people like this place, but not for me. This is a lifestyle winery. Its mostly a real estate development business, with a side order of wine.

There are lots of nooks and crannies in this old home, which was constructed in several eras as the family living in it gained more wealth. The home tells the stories of two Tyler's native families, and many of their possessions are still in the home. The bedrooms and kitchen were my favorite rooms to visit. Of course, local legend (and even some of the guides) say the home is still inhabited by at least one of its former residents. Do a search online for "Haunted Goodman Museum" by Stephanie Frazier to see my article with pics, for more details.

We were in town for the Thanksgiving holiday and decided to drop by. The grounds were beautifully maintained. It was a peaceful place to stroll and see some extraordinary roses. Even though it wasn't in full bloom, there were still many beautiful bushes and a multitude of colors and sizes. We will visit again when we get back to Tyler.

No matter what season you visit Tyler you should definitely drive through this old, historic residential area. If you are fortunate enough to be there when the azaleas are blooming, it is absolutely breath taking. Tours are offered and it is fun to see the young ladies dressed in period costumes. A true view of the old south.

Very well presented museum hindered somewhat by rudeness. Visited with my family and took our time, about 30 minutes before closing they start turning the lights off. We ask if they are closing and they indicate no. So we continue looking around but notice they are watching us. So I think we get the hint. We leave about 15 minutes before closing and sure enough we are almost followed out the door by the staff. Also looking back we were always followed around by someone, maybe they have had problems in the past with some people who knows.

There is so much to see and experience at the Discovery Science Place. It's a good idea to prepare so that you don't miss any of the action. We have a variety of programs, exhibits, and events that are sure to entertain and educate the whole family. Because of the hands-on nature of the exhibits, the DSP is a wonderful place for visitors of all abilities and ages to experience and learn more about our world.

My group stopped here to break up a long trip. It was just right. Prices were ok too! There were lots of things to chose from. Fun and educational! A must do if you're in the Tyler area or even if you're just passing thru.Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll stop by again when your travels bring you to or through Tyler.

We needed somewhere to walk and boy did we find it! Gorgeous trails that made us wish we had brought our bikes! There are a few attached machines for those who want to do circuit training during their jobs (pull up bars...etc). It was an amazing trail and we will be using it each time we return here!
