It's always hit or miss regarding what you're going to encounter in small city and town museums…read more I was in downtown Tyler on business and just happened to park across the street from this building. Upon investigation I found a nice young lady that told me about the small local history museum,the building and some Tyler history. Very knowledgeable and much appreciated. She pointed out this building was originally an Andrew Carnegie Library. I love the story about his magnanimous philanthropy effort that built libraries across the country Glad I found this one.

Great place to visit, especially if your interested in local history. If your interested in…read moreresearching your family history from Smith County, be sure to check out their archives. A great selection of artifacts on display chronicling Smith County History.

I walked in earlier, trying to find a good place to go for early voting. Even though it's not here,…read morethe staff was very friendly & helpful. And people come here to pay their taxes. The lobby is very spacious, & they've put up some festive (yet family-friendly) Halloween decorations. I'm glad I got the chance to visit!

What a fun experience and place for a birthday party! My Grandbud celebrated his 3rd birthday here…read morewith friends and family, and I am so glad I was in town long enough to be a part of it. A great place to hold parties, play, learn, be curious, and more importantly, have fun! He and his friends had so much fun exploring and playing everywhere! They could pretend to be service heroes, doctors, working at a restaurant or at the grocery store. Be an astronaut, play on a ship, and learn with a bunch of gadgets and gizmos. I would absolutely recommend this place for birthday parties and school field trips. As always, Enjoy & Happy Learning!

My grandson had his 3rd birthday party here at Discovery Science Place. My husband and I have…read morenever been here before. It really is a fun place to have fun and learn. When you enter, you can choice to go right or left, two sides to the center. To the right is a few games, (such as connect four), life size light bright, and a cool vacuum that you put fluff balls in and watch how it filters through the vacuum suction tubes. You can walk through the volcano and experience what an earthquake could possibly feel like. Walk all the way up to the ship deck and see the world. Down on the main floor, my granddaughter loved learning the magic of being on television. When coming in, if you turned left, you enter the world of life skills and career options. The makeshift grocery store is very realistic and makes it fun for kids to learn to shop and organize. The kids can pretend to work in medical clinics, veterinarian clinics, restaurant personnel (food prep/chef/server), be an astronaut and explore the outer world, firefighter, police officer, lawyer, and/or judge, medical specialist, and more. There is a separate room for birthdays or gatherings. There is a very low price of $10 pre adult/student and discounts offered for seniors and military. I didn't get pictures while exploring with my grandkids, but it really is a fun little place to go explore. You can visit their website for more pictures and info. https://www. discoveryscienceplace.org

Such a nice out-of-the-way & off-the-beaten-path place for a theatre. I came here to see "39 Steps"…read moreseveral months ago. Last night I came with a group of other single ladies in the area, since they had an extra ticket for "Legally Blonde". It was weird that to check in to this location, I had to step outside. People were saying that the metal building blocks phone signals. But it was a wonderful play! It was difficult to get in & out of the parking lot, & it may get crowded out there. But I hope to go to other plays here!

I appreciate the work being done by TPWD. the facility is nice, clean, and not too big. Short…read morepresentation and fish feeding at the aquarium was good. Lots of smaller aquariums showcasing various native fish. Ride the tram and take the short walk back on the "wetlands trail" (not wet) and enjoy the birds and the scenery. Be prepared for lots of kids if the school busses are present.

Lots to see! Bring the kids! Seriously, bring the kids! Besides learning about and seeing the hatcheries, you and THE KIDS can fish their well stocked tanks. There are multiple tours and a very educational walking path in between a few ponds with cascading stream with slow creeks full of turtles, frogs, birds and fish! HUGE parking lot, very cheap, and be prepared to spend a few hours here. While there is a snack bar, there are some fantastic near by restaurants.

I came out here to watch a (TVCC--Trinity Valley Community College) Lady Cardinals softball game…read morethat actually got rescheduled. But the field looked nice & so did the stands (some covered & shaded, some open--bring a hat or umbrella for those hotter or rainier days!). There are restrooms with multiple stalls nearby, which are OK for public restrooms at a softball/baseball complex. The concession stand also accepts credit/debit cards, which is good for the 21st Century, since less & less people carry cash these days. I wouldn't mind going to a future game here.
