Address 300 Alamo Plaza Map, Cost Free Website
This is a great stop for history buffs. It is a self guided tour so kids can explore at their own pace. My 4YO is still talking about it a year later - particularly the room where the women and children stayed during the battle. There is lots of room to burn off some energy in the grounds surrounding the Alamo. more

It's always fun to go and see what the local do. Nothing better then rooting for the home team. My son loves hockey and right now he just loves all hockey. So we never miss a chance to see a hockey game if we are in town during the season. My tip for the game...buy the cheap seats. We have sat all over and the fun is the same in any seat! more

This is a pretty great place for kids because it is an eye opener. They get to see a lot of crazy things; I can guarantee that your kids will have wide eyes as they stumble through the place. It's pretty good in their layout and have a ton of stuff, some interactive. It is quite expensive though, but you can buy the value pack and go to their other attractions if you want. more

We were walking thru San Antonio one day and noticed the museum across the street so we decided to take the kids and check it out. It doesn't look like much from the outside but when we walked in we were shocked at how big it was. We ended up spending the entire day there. They have activities and exhibits for all ages. I had just as much fun as my kids! The best piece of advice I have is to start at the beginning and go all the way thru, you will not be disappointed! more

We visited San Antonio at Christmas time (after Christmas and before Jan 1) and the river is lit with christmas lights. We took this boat tour at dusk with 6 little kids and it was great. We were able to enjoy the lights the kids thought the boat ride was fun. it was a little long but we brought snacks so that saved us at the end. The tour boat driver was very interesting and my 3 YO old learned a valuable lesson from him - if you drink too much beer, you can fall in the river. Be aware that they drain the river once a year in January for cleaning/maintenance. They have a Mud Festival during that time which sounds like a lot of fun to the mom of 2 little boys! more

We love the zoo. My kids are five and three and we have been members of the San Antonio Zoo for the last year. We often go in the morning when it first opens and visit our favorite exhibits. I think we all like the Africa Live exhibit best. After we tour the zoo, we picnic at the park and then catch the San Antonio Zoo Eagle Train. The train takes you around Brackenridge park. The kids love going through the tunnels and the trees. I find it relaxing and the breeze feels great. The train makes a stop at the Witte Museum and if we are not too tired, we occasionally pop in to see the exhibits. more

Nothing like going to Sea World. It was hot and sunny the day we took my granddaughter. She loved feeding the dolphins. The Dinner with Shamu was extra exciting for her. That's saying a lot because she's pretty calm for a 5 yr old when we're out in public. I only wish we had time to have breakfast at Sea World. What a treat that would have been. Wear sun screen and look for coupons! San Antonio is accessible if you're coming from Houston, Austin or somewhere in between. more

It might not be thrilling for adults but is great for train enthusiast kiddies. The highlight is a short ride in an old train which my son really enjoyed. They also have two old unrestored sleeper car trains which you can walk through as well as many old vehicles which are hands off.....simply to look at. We also enjoyed the working miniature train set. The museum is operated entirely by volunteers and runs on donations. more
