Going to San Antonio for a couple of days: What should I do and see?

Palmer course at La Cantera


We are taking the kids to seaworld and/or six flags in October

River walk is cool at night. Boat tours are cheap and a nice way to learn about the city although very touristy

I'd say head up to the observation deck on the Tower of the Americas for an awesome view of the city. There is also a restaurant and bar up there.


Aside from what others have said, we also enjoyed the hell out of natural bridge caverns and natural bridge wildlife ranch.



Alamo of course because you can't goto San Antonio without going, but if you have never been, don't expect too much.


We also spent a day going to check out all the old missions which was cool if you are into that kind of thing.


For food recommendations:

Guenther House for breakfast is an absolute must, my wife and I both loved that place.


Mi Tierra is also a cool Mexican restaurant that we actually ate at twice.

Definitely the Geunther House, awesome breakfast.
River Walk gets old after about a day and night.
The market is neat as well

San Marcos outlets are close too if shopping is on your trip

Clearly, you did not remember the Alamo.
