Fun Things to Do in San Antonio, Texas

Visit the famous Alamo which took 69 years to build and was completed in 1793. The Alamo originally served to house missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly seventy years. The Alamo is located in downtown San Antonio, TX and represents almost three hundred years of history with exhibits on the Texas Revolution and Texas History. Guests are welcome to wander through the lovely Alamo Gardens and it’s a must see for all those who visit San Antonio.

 

San Antonio Zoo is located along the San Antonio River and considered to be one of the best zoos in America because is holds over 3,500 animals and represents 700 different species. You encounter everything from Lions, Giraffe, and Hippopotamus to reptiles and one of the largest bird collections. In addition the zoo holds weekly educational programs and is available for private events. It’s a great and educational way to spend a fun day with the whole family.

 

 

Sea World San Antonio has is all - roller coaster rides like the Steel Eel and the Great White (which will flip you upside-down five times), along with a 450,000 gallon shark and fish tank! There are many shows and exhibits were you can see seals, dolphins and sea lions. Whatever you do, don’t miss the awe-inspiring Shamu – one of the greatest shows on earth for people of all ages.

Hi Robert, we visited San Antonio in 2005 and loved it.  We spent a lot of time at the Riverwalk but we did go see The Alamo while we were there.  I hope we have a chance to go again before long.

Robert - if or should I say when I get to San Antonio (it's on my bucket list) I will definitely have to check out all these great places - especially the Alamo - one of America's greatest landmarks! And Sea World - who doesn't love Shamu?!

Robert - I used to go to San Antonio quite a lot when I lived in Houston.  I loved the zoo!  And, how could anyone go there without seeing the Alamo and going to Mi Tiaras.

Been to all of them many, many times. The first time I went to the Alamo was in 1968 when I was 13. We were specifically in San Antonio for HemisFair, but with all the relatives we have in San Antonio and Floresville, we made it a four-day weekend trip.
