Having Fun The San Antonio Way

By Alex Johnson


So you want to go to San Antonio and have heaps of fun!? Ok, I'm here to help you my friend. There are many, many things you can do in this city, and unfortunately most people miss a lot of them due to focusing too much on the fancy and glitzy best-marketed sights. Don't let that fool you, there's far more to this city than a six-flags and an Alamo.

The one thing that used to be almost a given for tourists to have to visit was the tower of Americas. Unfortunately, over the years it has somehow fallen off the "5 things to do in SA" guide. Why this has happened I have no clue, considering that the tower itself is just as impressive as it ever was. So please be sure to check it out as well!

For those of you who are into the foodie culture, be sure to take a walk down La Vilitta. It's essentially this artisan village that has a very unique selection of restaurants, and not many tourists know about it. Most of them do however know about the River Walk. What you might not know is that if you over the entire length you keep discovering new and different, unique restaurants. So don't be lazy, and explore!

Seeing that your belly is full, I think we can now proceed to overloading another one of your senses. This time, let's go with art of the visual variety! You probably know of this fun trick, but I'm going to mention it anyway. As a San Antonio tourist you can get to brag about having seen Picasso and Van Gogh up-close. All you have to do is visit the McNay museum. It's either cheap, or even free most of the year too.

Oh, and if you're still not satisfied, let me tell you, this city can throw more at you than you can ever handle! Not even the most ambitious traveler will be left out of things to do and see! Other things to have fun with are the already obvious zoo, sea world, the natural history museum, the Spanish governor's palace, scobee's planetarium, and even the children's museum. Speaking of children, this city houses the first theme park dedicated to children with special needs, and those bound by wheelchairs.
