If you are in a position to buy a home, the time is ripe for some really amazing deals. Tyler, Texas homes are definitely in a buyer’s market presently, but how long it will stay that way cannot be easily or accurately predicted. It would be a safe assumption to say that there will not be much more time to take advantage of this market before it takes a turn in favor of sellers. Strike now, while it is still hot, and you could find yourself in the home of your dreams for a good bit less that you would have expected to pay.

There are many beautiful neighborhoods in Tyler, Texas, made that way by beautiful Tyler, Texas homes. The area is a family oriented community with plenty of entertainment and culture from the Carnegie History Center to the Tyler Zoo. It is a place that is ideal for raising a family and finding fulfillment in your life. Purchasing a Tyler, Texas home could be the wisest decision you will ever make.

But buying a home is a process, and one that can be quite complex. You will need the aid of a good, experienced real estate agent to help you through all the twists and turns of the journey. Trying to handle all of the paperwork yourself only leaves you open to be taken advantage of. A realtor will also know where you will find the best deals the moment they become available, and that information is priceless.

Jack Hanna visits Tyler

October 12th, 2010

Jack Hanna Tyler Texas

I was very excited when I first heard that the celebrity animal trainer Jack Hanna was going to be visiting Tyler‘s Caldwell Zoo. On arriving to the zoo, I was overwhelmed by large crowd that showed up. I came with two small children that were extremely excited to see all the animals that we heard Jack Hanna was going to show.

My hopes were very high going to this event, but was quickly shot down. He only showed three birds and a few snakes. Jack told some very interesting stories of the adventures that he has had. He gave his opinion on P.E.D.A. and their attempts to close down many zoos and Sea World. Although he told many interesting stories, there was nothing to keep the attention of young children including my own. My kids just wanted to see animals do tricks, and honestly, so did I.

I was in agreement with the explorer when he expressed his feelings about the animal rights organization P.E.D.A. He had expressed that he was extremely disturbed by the idea of closing down zoos and Sea World. Zoos are in place to educate young children about wild life. Many people, such as the famous “crocodile hunter” Steve Irwin, have died trying to educate children of the animals around the world. Jack Hanna said that he loves animals but he thinks that children’s education is more important. Animals in preservations such as our own Caldwell Zoo here in Tyler is not abusing animal rights or abusive towards animals, but are a safe place that people can observe animals from across the world.

Jack Hanna talked about his adventures and encounters with people and animals from all different countries. His stories were very interesting and I would like to hear him again but I wish that the zoo would of described his presentation as him telling stories, instead of being some what misleading and saying that he was going to show animals and entertain children of all ages.

Tyler Zoo

January 13th, 2010

The Tyler Zoo is a wonderful place to take your whole family on a nice sunny days. No matter the age all can enjoy going to the Zoo and walking around and looking at all the exotic animals they have. The cost is reasonable , around $8 for adults and less for children or you can obtain a year pass for less than $50 dollars and that way you can go anytime you want. Here in Tyler even, the winter is nice enough to where you could go visit and won’t freeze.

The animals are so beautiful and sometimes it is hard to believe that those animals are not the stuffed kind. They have a place where you can get food in case you get hungry. The zoo also has a store where you can by some gifts or souvenir’s before you leave or in case you are, at the zoo and forgot someones birthday. The gift shop is truly impressive on its own and offers a lot for the animal enthusiast as well as those looking for quality kid toys with an animal theme.

Besides looking around at all the animals you can get some awesome exercise while doing something fun. They have all kinds of animals, lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, zebra, snakes, spiders, cougars, penguins, bob cats and many others. I can’t list all of them at this time because it will take the fun out of you going to check things out for yourself. The zoo has a petting area where you and your children can go and pet the goats. Usually most kids enjoy the petting zoo very much.

The Tyler zoo has an area that has sand and your children could stop by and play for a few minutes. Benches are all around the zoo just in case you need to take a break from walking around. They always have ice cream which in the summer time makes for a nice treat while making your rounds to the different animal cages. The zoo is also a nice place where you can meet with friends you haven’t seen for awhile. At one time the Tyler zoo was free to go to but the charitable fund eventually ran out of money to allow people to come for free. I think it is worth the $8 dollars that you have to pay and there is no time limit so you can go early afternoon and stay all day if you would like to.

You can also take a cooler and have lunch or a snack while you are there. With all this in mind I hope that I peeked your interest in going to the Tyler Zoo with your family and friends. I know that you will enjoy it and have a great time if you decide to take a trip there. These day’s everything costs you money so I figured for about $30 dollars or so you can go look around, have lunch and dessert and your entertainment is provided for you. You would pay about the same amount going out to eat or going to a movie theater. The name of the Tyler Texas zoo is the Caldwell Zoo and is remarkably large for a small town like Tyler.

Caldwell Zoo Tyler Texas

September 2nd, 2009

Caldwell Zoo, Tyler, TX

9 out of 10 Stars – Rate Caldwell Zoo and Give a Customer Review

Anyone looking for entertainment, young or old, should definitely try the Tyler, TX Caldwell Zoo. This place has a fun environment for groups of children and families. Admission prices for children and adults are very reasonable. The Caldwell Zoo has an excellent variety of animals, considering the population size of Tyler. Petting zoo is somewhat mediocre because there are fewer animals than expected and very little room for animals to roam around but is well worth the visit because of the kinds of animals throughout the rest of the zoo. The best time to see larger animals such as the white tigers is during feeding time which is typically in the evening a couple of hours before the zoo closes. Also, the in the evening there tends to be less foot-traffic if a group is less inclined to big crowds. One of the best parts of Caldwell Zoo is the small bird cage exhibit. This would be good for smaller children because of the close interaction to the birds to stimulate a child’s curiosity and interest. Overall, The Caldwell Zoo would be an excellent venture for the whole family to enjoy.
