Caldwell Zoo
|
Caldwell Zoo - Located in Tyler, Texas, the Caldwell Zoo is an incredible place to spend the day. With children's classes, day camps, and special activities like the scavenger hunts and Zooper Day, the entire family will find plenty to enjoy. You can welcome the new baby giraffe, see the black-footed penguins playing in the water, or go on a Wild Bird Walkabout in the aviary that's filled with parakeets and cockatiels. Feed sticks of millet to the birds or head out to the grasslands to see the lions, yaks, and antelope. The zoo is open every day except holidays. This is a great place to celebrate a birthday or get-together! |
The Texas State Railroad
|
The Texas State Railroad - Established 1881, is truly a "Texas Treasure!" This historic train travels through the scenic piney woods and hardwood creek bottoms of East Texas where rolling hills, nature and wildlife abound.
The Texas State Railroad offers both steam and diesel train excursions reminiscent of days gone by. Passengers may board excursion trains at either the Rusk or Palestine depots where southern hospitality is the norm. These depots were built with an eye for detail and the elegance of Victorian charm. They are surrounded by beautiful parks with lakes and streams offering visitors full-service campground facilities, picnic areas, concessions and a great deal more to enhance a four-season vacation experience. This is a perfect family outing!

Grapeland Drive-Thru Safari - Located just north of Grapeland, Texas, the Grapeland Drive-Thru Safari is a completely fenced, natural environment where you can view rare species of animals. Follow the self-guided auto tour and see camels, buffalo, oryx, zebras, turkeys, and peacocks. You can stay as long as you like, checking out the watering hole and the adorable baby llamas. There are even opportunities to feed large animals, take a pony ride, or jump around in the inflated bounce house. If you like, take a ride aboard the safari train, viewing the 200 animals that live in this 59-acre natural environment. Come view the donkeys, pigmy goats, potbellied pigs, ponies, ducks, deer, geese, and more. |
Tyler Rose Museum
|
Tyler Rose Museum - Known as the "Rose Capital of the Nation," Tyler, Texas is absolutely famous for its roses. From late April until the first frost, the gardens at the Tyler Rose Museum explode with color when the nearly 40,000 rose bushes bloom. You'll see approximately 500 varieties of roses when you visit, plus the attractions of the museum itself. If you happen to visit in late October, be sure to catch the beauty of the annual Rose Festival. In the spring, between mid March and April 1, you can follow the stunning Azalea Trail for blooms of a different sort. Rose lovers certainly won't want to miss a stop in Tyler! |
