Aqua: Walked through the gardens the last weekend in April, and there were still plenty of blooms showing their colors. This park is easily walkable with levels paths throughout for strollers and wheelchairs. There are many quiet spots for meditation and admiration, or a private conversation. I was disappointed that many of the rose signs were not displayed, as it does help to determine which varieties to plant in your home garden when coming here. It did not deter my enjoyment of the gardens.
galila Abdelghani: I am visiting my mom in Gladewater so I decided to bring my two boys here. It a very fun filled museum! Lots of activities for all ages. Here are things you should know if your planning to visit
1. Time. There is SO much to do, I could have spent about 2 more hours here
2. Space. It’s not a lot of space. Don’t bring a stroller in if you can help it, parking is limited.
3. Beware. When I visited there were several “field trips” going on at once. It really overloaded the place. But it didn’t deter me from going back. My kids really enjoy it.
East Tx Reviewer: I have been coming here since I was very little, I love it, when I was little they didn’t have a play area but I’m really glad they do now. I love coming here during winter because of all the beautiful Christmas lights, it is not a very large park but it is definitely a good one.
Erastos Evdoxiadis: This was my first time to go and visit this park. I was entitled for a day and a 1/2 and I needed to go for a walk and I found this one to be close to where I was staying. There is plenty of parking at the entrance and a beautiful little bridge starting the path. There are 2 main paths for the walkers assured in the long and several other paths for mountain bikers. It is a beautiful area with well maintained paths and lots of signs to help you walk around. The only complaint I had about it was that he was short. I went around the short loop and the long loop twice and that took me less than 40 minutes. It is nice for short walks but for long walks it will get boy and pretty quickly.
Robert Hurst: Very nice and well kept park. We went for the Easter gathering there and it was plenty of fun. Lots of vendors and some good food. The egg grab was CRAZY but fun for the kiddos all around. Good bathrooms and playground. Nice area of Tyler.
M Munoz: Just yesterday was there again like every year. Didn’t see much different lights. But still enjoy it. I wish it was more Christmas them than Texas them and the music also would make it more enjoyable if it was more of the Christmas songs other than that my children were very happy ! And I will keep on visiting every year. Hoping to see more wonderful light.
Mohan Babu Mani: Must visit places if you are visiting Tyler. I would have not known about the history of the rose garden if I didnt go here. Well maintained with historical videos and all the queens who won the rose competition. This year (2022) the parade is scheduled in September 2022. Dont miss it.
