There are small bridges you can cross and a few waterfalls that seemed to be out of commission for the moment, but it didn't matter. The place is still lovely.

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!

Been living here since 2021 and we are just now getting here for the first time. Although, the…read moreGrandbubbies have been coming quite regularly, this is our first. And what better day than on my Grandbubby's 6th birthday!! Of course, being August, it was toasty out, but we trekked the whole park and seen most of the animals. It looks as though some of the exhibits were empty or under some construction. We had ourselves a blast with all the animals and the birds. Maybe next time for them penguins and a few other animals. All in all, for a Tuesday when school has started again, not bad... not many people, which I'm hoping that's the case and not low attendance on a regular. The zebras, giraffes, elephants, rhino, alligator, river otters, tortoises, various macaws, anteater, Bat-Eared Foxes, monkeys, jaguar, lions, and various bird species were all spectacular and amazing! Love it here! All in all, I love that my Grandbubbies love this place so much and provides them a learning experience! Thank you, Caldwell Zoo and Staff! As always, Enjoy & Happy Zooing!

We were able to pump our own paint and choose the colors we wanted.

The woman in charge was very nice and helpful when needed. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them to others. Thank you!

Each day has a different painting that will be done, so you can choose a day with a painting you like! The experience is BYOB and you just bring yourself and everything else is supplied such as the canvas, brushes, and paint! There is a seating chart but they do place you next to your party to make the experience more enjoyable. There will be an instructor in each class that goes through each and every step to complete the painting. Although I'm not much of a painter, the instructor was very helpful in fixing anything I didn't like and answering any questions on steps I had missed. She made the experience very fun with her upbeat, funny personality. I also loved that she wasn't strict in what we were allowed to draw. We could add or omit any part of the painting we wanted! The only complaint I would have is that pricing. It is quite expensive ranging from $35-$45 usually.

A strangers birthday surprise we'll never forget…read more.. Yesterday, while treating my daughter and her friend to a day at the mall, while both were enjoying their cotton candy treats a kind young man stopped by. He said it was his 19th birthday--and that every year, he gifts kids a Build-A-Bear in memory of his own childhood experience. He asked if he could buy the girls their own bears as his birthday gift. They screamed with joy! I was speechless, overwhelmed by his generosity and the beauty of the moment. To the Bullard, TX stranger: thank you for reflecting God's character and not looking to flaunt or advertise your generosity, but to simply live how God intends us to be. You inspired two little hearts to do the same. Build-A-Bear, your staff was incredible. This was more than just a store visit--it was a powerful experience of giving, creating, and sharing joy. Remember: one small act of love can spark another. #KindnessMatters #BuildABearMagic #GratefulHeart #BirthdayBlessing #BroadwaySquareMall

Batman outfit and converse sneakers cotton candy scent. Many to choose from. And a bday stuffed cupcake. It also comes with a birth certificate. Lol. Plus. We got a $10 gift card for $5. All this for under $45. Definitely a great place to get your loved one a gift personalized just for them.

GONE were the roulette style casino games during which you just press a button and see if you "won", replaced with truly interactive, interesting, and engaging games. We had a party package for my daughter's soccer team, and it was affordable, and awesome. Thank you, Chuck E Cheese, for getting back to your roots, and being a fantastic option for family entertainment and dining! We will FOR SURE be back!
