Brackenridge Park

　　North of downtown near Trinity University, this 343-acre park is a great place to spend a family day. As well as the San Antonio Zoo, you'll find the Kiddie Park, the San Antonio Zoo Eagle miniature train ($4), an old-fashioned carousel ($2.50) and the Japanese Tea Garden. ...

　　Set on the eastern edge of Brackenridge Park, the Witte is an engaging museum of natural history, science and Texas history.

A model of the winged Quetzalcoatlus,...

McNay Art Museum

　　This Spanish Colonial revival-style mansion, 5 miles north of downtown and originally owned by artist Marion Koogler McNay, is spectacular. McNay's 700-piece collection of European and American art, which she left to the city after her death in 1950, is even more stunning. 　　The collectionThe McNay Art Museum now holds...

SeaWorld San Antonio

　　SeaWorld San Antonio is home to both Shamu the 'killer' (orca) whale and Great White, an inverted 'heels-over-head' roller coaster. Loaded with waterslides, water park Aquatica opened in 2012; there's a separate admission fee, but a combination ticket (available online) lets you visit both. 　　Since the release of the 2013...

　　The River Walk is a 15-mile-long glorious network of waterside pathways that’s tucked below street level and lined with bars and restaurants. It's the perfect place for many leisurely strolls through downtown and beyond, and considered one of the top things to do in San Antonio. You'll pass landscaped gardens and riverfront cafes,...

Mission San José

　　Known in its time as the Queen of the Missions, San José is certainly the largest and arguably the most beautiful of all the sites on the Mission Trail. Because it's a little more remote and pastoral, surrounded by thick stone walls, you can really get a sense of what life...

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

　　You don't have to be a kid to enjoy Fiesta Texas – this popular theme park has plenty of rides that you must be 'this tall' to enjoy. Of course, there are also more than 25 kids' rides for the vertically challenged, as well as swimming pools and water rides...

　　For proud Texans, the much-fabled Alamo, entered freely off San Antonio’s central plaza, is not so much a tourist attraction as a place of pilgrimage. Many visitors get downright dewy-eyed as they explore the site of the 1836 siege, in which a few hundred revolutionaries, including Davy Crockett, William Travis...

San Antonio Museum of Art

　　Housed in the original 1880s Lone Star Brewery (a piece of art in itself), the San Antonio Museum of Art is home to an impressive trove of Latin American art, including Spanish Colonial, Mexican and pre-Columbian – one of the most comprehensive collections in the US. Beyond Latin American works,...

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

　　Spain's missionary presence can best be felt at the ruins of the four missions south of town: Concepción (1731), San José (1720), San Juan (1731) and Espada (1745–56). Religious services are still held in the mission churches and the mariachi Mass at noon on Sunday at San José church is...

San Fernando Cathedral

　　Founded in 1731, San Antonio’s cathedral ranks as the oldest church in Texas. On the edge of Main Plaza, its prime interest for modern visitors is as a screen – literally – for San Antonio: The Saga, a sound and light show. 　　The sound and light showThis 24-minute-long after-dark art installation...
