The nice gentleman gave me socks and I didn't need to pay -so nice of him because my kiddo was tired in 20 min!! Plenty of trampolines, 2 basket ball hoops, and dodge ball. It was the most fun! You can jump in a foam pit or big air pillow as well. We didn't pay for it, but there is laser tag, rock wall, and laser tag. Place was clean and well kept!

Gorgeous park! Came here for the first time this year for our first day hike. Then I made a pact to…read morecome back and camp here, which I just accomplished over the weekend. Can't speak much on the staff bc we barely interacted with them, they seemed mostly unbothered and nonchalant. We rent a screened shelter for 2 nights, Fri - Sunday. We actually got the last open shelter for the weekend, so we got lucky! We stayed in section 9. Very pretty area. Most of our fellow campers were courteous, although on our first night we heard music blaring from another part of section 9. For us to be able to hear it from where we were, they must have been LOUD so I can only imagine how their actual neighbors felt. And even though quiet hours are at 10, this music went on until probably around 11:30ish range. I also heard screaming and very loud laughing. Sounded like teenagers maybe. Remember people.... We all came out here to enjoy nature. Be courteous if you're sharing the space with other campers. Leave no trace ALSO includes noise pollution. It's ok to play some music and have a good time - I know I did! But I kept my music very low, and made sure to keep my voice down or at least not at such a volume that I could be heard across the camp ground. Anyway aside from that we had a wonderful time. The shelter was clean, the surrounding area was free of litter. We hiked, swam, made campsites, cooked, played games, rested in the grass, and had a grand time. I'd have to put this park up there on my list of top 5 parks. It's has everything! It definitely gave me *summer camp* vibes. The only thing I probably wouldn't recommend is the boat rentals. They are quite pricey. If you can swing it, bring your own!

On Sunday morning while in Tyler, my girlfriend and I made a drive up to Tyler State Park to…read moreadventure through the piney woods and explore another great state park together. What's really great about Tyler State Park is that it is not too far off of I-20 and the heart of downtown Tyler. It's actually kind of mesmerizing how close this preserved state park is from the city and how many people don't take that quick drive on a spring day. There's plenty of hiking to do on the almost one thousand acres of land. My girlfriend and I hiked the B Loop hiking trail, which is a little over 3 miles and was a very easy adventure for us. I wanted us to do more, but our legs were tired, so we called it there. Instead, we went to the Northside Day-Use Area to get our feet in the water and enjoy the view of the lake. Overall, it's a really fantastic park and I hope to return to do all A through D on the hiking trail. RIYL: Adventuring through the trees

It's been a minute, but I was going through some old photos and got reminded I never did a review…read more I am amazed because I really lived this zoo. The trip here was not as planned as I would normally do. We had come to Tyler for something else, but kept hearing "you gotta check out the zoo". Being from Dallas, i snobbishly thought "how could it be better than what we have in the metroplex?". I am gonna say this zoo earned my respect! I loved the design and the walk through the zoo. I also loved that you could get such great unobstructed views of the animals in the zoo. We had a great time here and would definitely come back!

The younger guy that helped us at the front desk was so nice and walked us through the process of this course as it was our first time playing here. The only downside we had here was the older gentlemen in the clubhouse house was pretty rude when we told him we called for a tee time. He immediately snapped at us and said "no you didn't" the younger gentlemen helped us as he was the one who took the initial call. Also, the cart girls were friendly, but one of them was extremely intoxicated, and took over 20 mins to make 2 drinks out on the course, as she had to ask 5 or 6 times what we wanted again. She drove away with open juice bottles and empty cans flying off of her cart. It was semi funny, but not extremely professional. Overall the course was nice and I would definitely play here again.

Played Tempest on Wednesday and Thursday. Absolutely a great golf course. Only issue were the traps…read morewere hard and there was hardly any sand in them. If this course had good sand traps or a lot fewer sand traps, it would be a 10 on a scale of 10. Staff wasn't overly friendly and a smile on their faces would have improved things. Also, the drop off was very unusual and staff at the drop off didn't seem to want to help us with putting clubs in cart or doing things without having to be asked. Very strange even though we tipped them anyway.

Don't come here looking for a lot of shade because roses need a lot of sun to bloom!…read more I grew up in the era where Tyler roses were kind of a big deal. If you had a Mother's Day or Mom's birthday to buy flowers, for it was a big deal to give her Tyler roses. If you were sweet other girl at school, it was also a big deal, if you not only gave her roses, but roses directly from Tyler. I had always wanted to see this Rose capital of the world. It was an easy day trip from Dallas and gave me the opportunity to see this Ground Zero from some thing that has a strong memory for me growing up. The gardens were beautiful, and when the breeze was just right, the fragrance was amazing. But I have to admit I was a little disappointed that it was not like our Arboretum, Or something like that. Nevertheless, it was worth the trip and took me down memory lane!

There are a bunch of different spaces to visit, and it is well maintained. While we were there, a 3-year-old kid and his grandma were walking around, and the kid seemed to have no object permanence. He would trip and fall into a bush, get back up, and fall into the same bush again. It's not important to this review, but it was hilarious and worth sharing. Anyways, this place is a must-visit for locals and visitors! RIYL: Roses

We really enjoyed exploring Lake Tyler and had no trouble with the boat.

I would recommend JW Rentals and use them again!
