Most popular attraction is the Alamo founded in 1724. It was occupied by the Spanish military, rebels and Mexicans. It is remembered as the site of the fight for the independence of Texas.
Within the Alamo complex is the old church where an exhibit of artifacts during the battle of Alamo can be viewed. The Alamo gardens are a sight to behold with beautiful flowers and well-kept lawns, also displayed are some of the cannons actually used in the battle. Adding to the surroundings is an old Oak tree planted in 1914.
The Sea world is a heaven for children. Aside featuring different marine life, there are lots of thrill rides such as the Rio Loco and Texas Splashdown.
Children would be thrilled by the Jumpin' Jungle, Pete's Pinwheel, and Shamu Express.
Also featured are shows and exhibits such as the Rockin' Ski Party, the Aviary Habitats, and the Penguin Encounter. If the kids are still brimming with energy at this time, you can bring them to the Activity Pool, Splash Attack or the Wave Wash Pool.
Another place for the whole family is the Alamodome where sports tournaments and other events are held. It also hosts skating events, basketball, football, rodeos and wrestling.
Now, if you want to be left alone at night, couples can take a stroll along River Walk. There's a River Walk nightlife in the downtown area of San Antonio. If the wife wants to go shopping, the Rivercenter Mall is the place to go where numerous shops display fashion wear and tourist items.
Want the whole family to try a different cuisine every night? The River Walk group of restaurants in Downtown San Antonio offer Greek, Lebanese, Spanish, German, and Texan-Mexican food. There are quality reasonably priced foods of every kind and upscale dining in the better restaurants is offered.
Did you know that five missions in the Downtown area of San Antonio were the foundations of the City? These are San Jose, San Juan, Espada, Concepcion and Alamo. The Fiesta Theme park includes the popular White Water Bay with slides and giant waves. There are concerts and performances. One can ride in the largest steel coaster in this part of the country or in the incredibly fast Poltergeist taking the rider from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, sounds like an expensive sports car to everybody.*
