If you are like me and most of my family you are always on the look out for a steep snow sledding hill just in case it happens to snow in Tyler Texas.
Snow is very rare in Tyler Texas and snow that resembles what you see at Breckenridge and Keystone Colorado ski resorts is almost unheard of.
When we do get snow it falls and melts immediately but last night and today we have a thick soft blanket of about 4 – 5 inches of snow.
I have had my eye on this one great hill over at the Walmart Highway 64 parking lot.
If you drive in and look over to your right toward the back there is a very large steep hill.
We climbed up and used a $10 plastic container ironically bought at Walmart last year.
Although our container was not ideal it still worked and was a lot of fun. If you actually had a real sled you could have quite a blast going down this mini ski/snowboard trail.
So for those in Tyler Texas that like to have a little fun in the snow and cold check this hill out sometime while Walmart is still ok with you being on it.
When deciding on family vacation destinations indoor water parks are becoming more of an option especially in east Texas.
You no longer have to wait until the summer time to go for family fun at Splash Kingdom Water Park as The Villages indoor water park in the Flint TX area is now open.
One problem with The Villages water park, it’s tiny inside there, super crowded, and very expensive. A positive about The Villages water park is that they are very close to Tyler TX.
Now looking at Great Wolf Lodge water park in the Grapevine TX Dallas area you have a much larger all inclusive kind of thing going.
Great Wolf Lodge is in the Dallas TX area so it is a small drive from Tyler TX. The drive is a definite negative but if your spending a weekend somewhere for vacation is a 1 1/2 hour drive that big of a deal?
Great Wolf also has a really nice connected hotel and restaurant and you don’t have to worry about being hit up with a sales pitch for buying a vacation time share.
Finally with Great Wolf water park you get more elbow room, water rides and a generally more friendly professional atmosphere to experience a great family time.
