Brookshire's World of Wildlife Museum & Country Store

The Brookshire's World of Wildlife Museum and Country Store has large dioramas of over 450 animals featuring African and North American animals. The country store is set up to look like a 1920s general store. *** Temporarily Closed Please know there are no plans for the Brookshire’s museum and playground located on Old Jacksonville Highway to permanently close. However, this location will remain closed temporarily until we have taken every possible measure to ensure the highest degree of safety for our visitors and staff. We are going above and beyond in proactive safety measures following an accidental ammonia refrigeration release recently at one of our warehouses. Although it is our full intention and desire to reopen as soon as we safely can, we do not have a definitive timeline. We realize Brookshire’s museum and playground are a favorite destination in Tyler, Smith County and East Texas, and we appreciate our friends, neighbors and the community for your patience and understanding as we continue to work through safety protocols.
