- The Rose Capital is a place where people and pines combine to create a colorful and vibrant, just as beautiful as the red blooms, themselves.
The main attraction! What started in the 1950s as a living catalog for Tyler’s skyrocketing rose industry has bloomed into a destination the draws folks from all over. It’s a place where you can literally “stop and smell the roses!” Inside at the Tyler Rose Museum, you can learn about the famous Rose Festival and see the extravagant gowns from previous years, with their intricate details and 15-foot-long trains!
The Caldwell Zoo might be small, but its exhibits reach across the world! They’ve got Lions, Lemurs & Bears - OH MY! And while you’re there, stop by the African Exhibit to see the penguins which are actually a warm-weather breed!
One of the best-kept secrets is that Tyler is home to the candy factory that makes those pink peanut-filled candy disks of your childhood. Along with Peanut Patties, they also make pecan logs and old-fashioned peanut brittle. Stop by the store up front of the factory for first dibs on the broken pieces and a sweet trip down memory lane!
There’s plenty to see and do in the revitalized downtown, but one thing you can’t miss is the grave of Shorty the Squirrel. This beloved town squirrel lived to be 15 years old and was a local mascot until he passed. Now you can pay your respects in the town square.
This brewery is bringing life back to an old downtown building, and creative new flavors to beer brews with ingredients like Lemonhead candies and Asian noodles! They even have what they call a “smoothie beer” - a little fruit and a little beer. Stop in to toast a day trip well traveled.
Stanley’s opened in the 1950s, and it’s been a Tyler mainstay ever since. It specializes in East Texas ‘que, which means that at this restaurant Chopped Brisket is the way to go. You can get it piled into tacos, on a platter, but I suggest you get it on the famous “Brother in Law” sandwich. This bad boy comes with chopped brisket, hotlinks and cheese on sourdough, all smothered in sauce. Don’t knock it till you try it!
If you find yourself hungry and at ETX Brewing Co., head next door to my cousin’s eatery for a tasty burger. The meat is ground in-house, the sauces are made from scratch and the burgers are out-of-this-world tasty! Order the “Nate Nasty” if you’re starving. It’s a beautiful mess of pulled pork, bacon, beef, mac-n-cheese, pepper jack and hot sauce that’s topped off with a fried egg. Magnificent!

"Is Tyler even in Texas?" was a question I got a lot because hardly anyone knows about this super awesome town, filled with beautiful pine trees and nice people... oh, and roses too!!
I have a friend, Tyler, that was looking to move away from Houston to a smaller town so I suggested Tyler! He ended up in Midland 😂
I was born in Lufkin but we soon moved to Tyler and so did my mamaw and papaw Doggett and all my uncles , aunts and cousins . My mom and dad moved us to other parts of Texas but the rest of the Doggetts pretty much stayed in Tyler . We returned for all the major holidays and most of the summer vacations . I miss it SOOOO much and even though I always planned to return and live there again , I never did and have always regretted it as I've always considered Tyler to be my home. ❤❤❤
This channel deserves millions of subscribers
Tyler is such a great city. I’m not a native, but I love it like I were.
I went to the Queens tea at the rose garden during the festival, WOW. Over the top beautiful! I love Caldwell zoo! A fun ETX small town is Jefferson, come check us out. Tons of history and beautiful homes. 😊
I wanted to say thanks for this episode. As someone from central Texas, I tend to lean west but this is beautiful so thanks for reminding us there are both sides.
I think it's cool the town is so old some of the buildings predate
the war between the states
As someone who lives in Tyler, I absolutely love it here
Man I still haven't gotten a chance to go check out that rose garden. Such a beautiful looking place. I definitely gotta put northeast Texas on my list of travels this year
This is a really fun episode! Especially for a Texas town not many people have probably heard of...Get the feeling it's about to get a lot more popular!
Love Tyler. Great city. And thanks!
It’s growing like crazy. So a lot of it is starting to look like every other city. Same stores, same restaurants… hope the historical OGs can hang in there.
My brother lives in Tyler and he’s holding out on me.
Im visiting Dallas in a few weeks and I will be organising stops according to your show. xoxo
So cool you came to east texas!
Good video and I am from there. Born 1971

Y’all left out Greenberg Smoked Turkeys! 🦃
Love this brewery
As someone who’s been here forever it’s nice but we gots hot weather
RKO ..just great. All good but..funny take
What about the Tyler state park?
One cool place was the Brookshire family museum that sat behind the Distribution facility. It looks like it got closed 😢.
I do believe that stuff all got moved over to fresh off of Old Jacksonville. That's what I remember hearing when I noticed it was closed down.
herpetarium - it just sounds nasty
herpetarium - well it pretty much is
herpetarium - it's a reptile house
herpetarium - Uuuggghhhhh..
Hahaaaa love that
We have eaten there with our English friends
What State were they from?😂
Sorry that’s my attempt at a Texas joke.
Has anyone tried to be the first transgender rose queen?
If not, someone will.
CHET YOU SAID WITH THE LAST "ROSE" PHRASE YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID "ROSEY CHERKS" INSTEAD OF "ROSEY POSEY"😅😂
