Reviews
We toured both caves in one day. Our second tour was shorter but I liked our tour guid, Emily very much. She was friendly and welcomed questions (our first tour was a much larger group and it seemed like half of the group didn't care that the guide was speaking so it's not her fault she seemed a little short, she was trying to speak over rude people) The wonders tour was definitely my favorite because of the fossil wall.
The tour is great for getting the full information. Gets you into the Mission as a group but you can go back independently and also to museum w/ Phil Collins Texan collection. Tour was less than an hour. The mission ticket is free but if it's busy you maybe waiting.
Had our granddaughters party here at the first available time slot (11:00). It was great! The staff was friendly, and because it was so early the kids got to ride most of the rides with no wait. The pizzas and punch were delivered on time, and our host was very helpful. Important to know : bring water, they don't supply it, also you can't add pizza or drinks on the day of. So if you need extra of anything pizza, or drinks, it won't be available. Everything else was great! She loved it!
Family outing so I did it like a bucket list item. The tour was very interesting with so many types of formations. the climbing and Zipline experience pushed me out of my comfort zone. Great experience something I would never have chosen for myself but very gratifying.
The zoo was a fantastic visit. My mother was visited from Florida, enjoys walking, watching animals, and absolutely enjoyed this zoo (as we all did). The only unrelated issue we had was the recurring payments for the zoo membership as they would stop after a a few months. We didn’t feel like dealing it, but this is still a five-star visit! We couldn’t be any happier!
We visited on a weekday and had a fabulous experience seeing the mission, visiting the church, and talking to Ranger Maggie who made us laugh with her tales. Also Deacon Albert and Mateo made the experience all that much more memorable. As you walk into the church there will a crucifix to the right of the altar. The cloth that covers Jesus’s loin is a relic from St. John Paul the 2nd. The fabric is from one of his t-shirts that he left for the church in Espada. The rosary garden is heart shaped and very peaceful. It was fun to speak with the locals and pleasant to see how friendly, helpful, and responsive they are. This made the visit to Espada special. We were invited to attend their ceremony this Saturday morning. It was indeed an experience we will always remember. There’s no fee to enter. Plenty of parking.
Amazing experience. Get there early because if you're into history there are hours of things to see and learn. After three hours I didn't get enough. I'll be returning next time I'm in San Antonio. The hugely knowledgeable staff deserve a lot of credit.
Little paradise for kids. My son loves it so much, recommend and I can’t wait to go back👍🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Took five kids to the Alamo for an amazing visit! The historic site offered wonderful insights, but my mantra became “do not touch the walls” – a friendly reminder 1000 times. Despite that, the experience was educational and enjoyable, making it a must-visit for families. The Alamo’s rich history truly captivated both adults and kids alike.
Wonderful day. Knowledgeable guides. If you have mobility issues you may want to skip the Discover tour. The climb out will test your fitness. It is breathtaking and worth it in my opinion.
I visited with my daughter and her school last week and it was overall a great experience.
They are re-vamping at the moment, but you can still have a good time despite aesthetics.
My daughter was so happy to see the animals so I cannot complain. It was fun and educational. Thank you! :)

We are from out of state, visiting SA for a basic training graduation and got the city pass, our favorite thing was the San Antonio Zoo. It was so nice and a lot of animals to see. We had a great time. And we had no kids with us. So even adults will enjoy.
An exceptional tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in San Antonio, Texas. The 5 missions starting with the Alamo to the Mission Espada were each a work of art with their different architectural influences and all built before 1740. We drove the 8 miles and utilized the placards provided at each church except for the audio tour at the Alamo.
Great place to witness caves. There are two tours available here. They are 1. Discovery Tour and 2. HiddenWonders Tour.
You can choose any one of those or both for tour. Each one takes around 1.5 hour to cover. They will make 2 separate groups for these tours. You need to walk all around the tour. A guide will accompany you to explain. You can get your printed photographs outside. Food and drinks not allowed inside the caves although they allow water. You can take photographs with your mobile.

The hubs and I had a few moments to walk the city and stumbled upon the La Villita Historic Village. It's a cute collection of shops and eateries. We didn't leave with anything but all the shop owners were cordial and open to sharing more about their art.
The San Antonio River Walk is the best way to relax while getting a little heart health.. There are several restaurants along the river as well as places to sit and vibe out.
Granted there are a number of spots to stop and grab a great picture. It's an extremely picturesque area. One can also pay a little extra to take a boat ride on the river.
Overall, if you're visiting San Antonio, the river walk needs to be on your list.

Great place to visit, history is always awesome! I love coming here , this visit I brought the grandchildren and they enjoyed it. The staff were amazing and friendly and so helpful. We saw Texas Santa !! The garden beautiful and koi fish so big. Truly enjoyed walking around and reading all the history markers. The children had a great time.
Good shops and restaurants, ppl there are kind and happy, I took some photos I love the aesthetic, you can see the church and riverwalk inside
The church and gift shop and pretty much the whole grounds to walk around is FREE! The artifact museum does cost. Cool to see all the history of Texas revolutionary. Fun fact; this is not the actually spot of the Alamo but they have brought it downtown San Antonio for sight seeing purposes. They are expanding even more within the next couple years and will include native animals soon. They have a reenacting show too that’s fun.
What a great historical site. Highly recommend for people passing through our food those who have lived here and never been.
The San Antonio Zoo has gone digital. You have to scan the QRs code around the area to buy your tickets on your phone, or if you park in the free parking garage, there is a kiosk on the ground level and you can get tickets there, I believe.
I will say that for the $30+ adult admission price, I felt the value wasn’t quite there. The zoo is pretty big and spacious, but the price is steep considering the number of animals and exhibits. There are also up-charges for the Kangaroo crossing area, giraffe feeding, and several other things. With the high price of admission, I would’ve expected the kangaroo crossing to be included. I can understand the giraffe feeding being extra.
All in all, it’s a great zoo, but try to find a special discount or pricing. Also note that during the month of November, they feature a salute to heroes and they offer free admission to active duty, veterans, and retired military. They also offer 50% admission for up to four military family members. Just FYI…

Great place for a walk in the city center and near the river. Many different restaurants, shops, coffee shops. You can also take an inexpensive boat ride around this place. A very pleasant place for a walk with family or friends. And this is a historical place with interesting focus points. I highly recommend this place for a walk at least once in your life!
You can buy tickets if you want the guided tour with more immersive experience. But you can walk around and soak it all in. Way smaller than what I imagined but it doesn’t take away from the beauty the building offers. A great location to check out if you love history. The surrounding area like the park is peaceful and up to date. While the outside area is being developed further for pedestrians.
Beautiful site, the tour guide pointed out all the fab places to go to and see, he was fun and friendly, shared historical sites and had great knowledge. The boat tour was $31 per person, lasted almost an hour and there were a lot of people on the boat. Next time I'll just walk the river, lots of yummy places to try.
Out of this world. Can't say enough about this. We did the Discovery tour which I understand is the original set of caves that were opened to the public. Just incredible to be 200 feet below the surface experiencing such beauty. We had a fantastic guide as well. Charming and humorous. Very good at answering our questions and keeping track of the large group. Highly highly recommend making time for this.
Very fun and interesting experience!! Did not expect Texas to have caves like these, but it was worthwhile and incredible.
If you’re into nature and/or history, this is a must visit. The pictures and videos truly do not give justice to the views. They are just incredible.
The tour guides are all knowledgeable. Who knew exploring caves and learning fun facts about them would be so entertaining??
If you’re not into caves but are a thrill seeker, they did have zip lines and rope courses that looked quite extensive compared to some other ones I’ve seen before. We didn’t get to try the courses, but they did look very fun and exciting.

Worst zoo I've ever been to anywhere. Overpriced even for a zoo, money goes into their new entrance and not the animals or guest experience. Pay for a ticket or membership like I did, to still have exhibits blocked behind yet another ticket you have to buy. I have a membership that I will be canceling for multiple reasons. We have gone multiple times a month and still haven't seen all of the animals. Simply because their habitats are so bad, the animals would rather stay inside than be out in their overgrown, rundown forgotten enclosures. The pathways are so old and worn down that they are extremely unsafe. Going uphill by the rhinos, the hill is so bad that it has many trip hazards on the ramp, sharp 2" inch concrete protruding by underground access in the middle of this ramp. Making almost impassable by strollers and impossible for anyone by themselves in a wheelchair. The other hill close to the concession stand is almost a 40-degree ramp about 20 feet long with broken concrete and metal slip strips to try to help with the incline. All the walkways are rough. These just stand out and are serious hazards. Exhibits look like that one house in the neighborhood that hasn't cut their grass in years. Seriously, the exhibits are horrible and not maintained. It's sad to have animals living in there. Lions and Tigers exhibit is so bad that the animals themselves are never out and always inside. When they "deep clean," they use BLEACH with animals right next to them. I watched a zookeeper carelessly throw the empty BLEACH bottle next to a bird, and it got scared and flew away. I got pictures after she threw the bottle. Don't waste your money. The zoo needs to be closed down to fix these many safety hazards and probably desperately needs new management the way it's looking.
Animals were active enjoying the fantastic weather. Saw active Lions, Tigers and Bears (oh my!) Everyone was friendly and sharing viewpoints for pictures to best see the wildlife. Habitats were well kept and animals looked healthy. Great day at the zoo! Get tickets online, it saves time at the gate. QR codes are available on the walking path.
The mission church is absolutely beautiful, the rest of the complex is in ruins. There was a wedding going on while I was there so I had to wait a while to get a look inside the church
Best day ever! We rode the boat around the river walk. It was so fun. The tour guide was charming and very knowledgeable. Then we ate mexican food right on the water!
Must visit! Be sure to visit the exhibits near the gift shop where they play an informative and short clip as well as show examples of artifacts used by the communities back in the day. That really brings it to life for you
This is a marvelous place to visit. This is our third visit in 3 years. It is especially pleasant to visit on a Sunday morning when no one is around for great pictures. It is also nice to visit when the gift shop is open . I prefer this gift shop to the other missions.
The Riverwalk was so beautiful! Full of shops, places to eat and such a variety of food to choose from! We did the boat ride as well and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining as well. She was amazing and always double checked to male sure that we where able to get the pics we where taking. Again not being from San Antonio and visiting, it was an amazing experience!
This location is a hidden gem. We watch people walk by it all the time. Do yourself a favor, and enter La Villita. Have a bite to eat at La Villita Cafe - 5 stars, the local shops are perfect to pick up gifts!
Amazing historical site. $14 to view private collectors exhibits. Guided tour $$, self guided handheld audio additional $10. They must be starting reconstruction to add to the site as there were several fenced off areas with other structures. Sadly, it’s in the middle of downtown and almost invisible among the modern buildings, traffic & parking garages. The small church takes forever to get through. One way in, one way out. Didn’t stick around for the line. They do have story tellers in costume that are worth the tales and a cute gift shop labeled museum.
What a beautiful place to watch all the animals! The entire staff throughout the zoo were so friendly! For a small fee we paid to feed the animals which was an amazing experience. You can definitely see how all the staff really care for the animals and want to educate you on each animal. It was a great experience overall!
Parked here and rode the bikes 5 miles up the River trail to Mission San Jose and back. Nice ride!!! Didn't know the San Antonio River looked so nice south of downtown. Lots of ducks and parks for picnics and cookouts. Checked out 3 missions on the ride.
Beautiful building. Loved the history of San Antonio light/projection show they have at the front of the church. Highly recommend watching it.
We visited two of the sites and they were quite different: Missions Concepcion and San Jose. The latter gave a great feel for what life there was like. Helpful guides at both, a small museum and gift shop at Mission San Jose. A couple miles from town center
This is probably THE PLACE to visit when coming to San Antonio. Especially in the evening time. Very lush and beautiful. Great for taking a stroll with friends. And the food options are endless! If you have time definitely try the riverboats. You can see a lot of things much quicker than walking around.
The grounds were clean and beautiful. There's a covered picnic area just around the corner, too. Loved the signs and learning about the missions in the area. Theres even a 3D model that shows you where each buildings remains are as well as what they were.
Magic Mountain is our typical park but with family in SA, we visit this park when in town. Not gonna lie, this park is soooo much better than MM in the ways of customer service, cleanliness, drink and food availability, and overall park aesthetics. The rides are so fun and we always have a great time here. We love the crazy coasters at MM but Fiesta Texas is pretty dang fun. Iron Rattler, Poltergeist, Superman all kick butt. Oh! And the shows and entertainment are amazing!! The main theater in the front area is a gorgeous indoor theater. And Zombie Prom was a fabulously fun show. Then the fireworks and drone show was absolutely incredible. Well done Six Flags!
Loved it! It was a unique experience. I bought tickets online for the new Hidden Wonders tour. (If you're not sure you're gonna get there on time, buy them when you arrive. They're fast at the ticket counter. They start on time, every time.)
The tour took over an hour, but honestly, it felt shorter. Our guide was full of spark and knowledgeable. The pictures taken in the beginning are kinda cool. About 30$ for the whole pack. I recommend wearing shoes with traction. It is a little wet down there. I was in awe of all the formations and light show. There are rails for you to grab, and a hand washing station just outside after the tour.

We were able to enjoy these rides for free, being that we are zoo members, during a weekday!! We loved this promotion!! Please continue it past today, my toddler LOVED the rides!!
Overpriced for my 2-year-old (who charges admission for a 2-year-old anyway), most activities were too advanced for him to enjoy. The woosher room was where we spent most of our time. But it's a small space. Lots of activities had screens attached, that was disappointing. Did not play outside. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was friendly. Would pick a park next time and play for free.
The zoo is absolutely beautiful, always so clean and flowing with flowers. There is mist spots right now to cool down and the kids will love it. There's plenty on animal out. We went early and saw some feeding. Make sure you buy your ticket before hand. Right now there is some construction but nothing that'll stop any fun. Just go take the whole family. Love it, got the season pass so I can keep going back. Just a great environment.
What a great place! We will definitely be going back. Lots of parking lots to use to enter the walk area. Lots of flowers, artwork, and sites to see. We will definitely give the boat tour a try the next time. Cannot wait to go back!!
In Texas this is the best six flags. It's the nicest one. For fright fest it is decorated beautifully. The displays and their shops are just so much nicer. Worth the trip and will be returning often.
ZOO MEMBERS ONLY?? My kids were invited to a birthday party and it was great for kids five years and under. I thought it would be a great place to host my play group for a play date but when I was asking about their open schedule they said only zoo members can get in. My kids are 5 and 1 and did have fun on the rides but we aren’t zoo members so won’t be back.
Disappointed as many of the shops aren't open-to bad as it's a cute area. Maybe time of the year, but we were there mid September and no one was there day or evening.
Best way to see the river front. It's great to take as the night lights come on. Beautiful anytime, really!! Never gets old. We do this every time we visit. Highly recommended you do combination tickets with the bus tour and get a discount!!
I had a Great Childhood! A lot of things I remembered aren't here anymore but the experience and thrill of theme parks and watching your favorite Cartoon Characters come to life is still here. We had a great time
P.S. Take your own pictures because they aren't great with giving you pictures from rides anymore.
Everything else was great!

First of the four mission parks that we explored today. Very interesting history about the early missions work in this area despite the heat. All the parks are free to go to you and have helpful rangers to answer questions.
Enjoyed visiting the second of the four Mission parks, following the history of this area. We skip the trails for the gift shop because it was much cooler lol.
A beautiful natural wonder. The caverns go pretty deep underground and are filled with many beautiful things to see. The tour guide was very informative as well. Just make sure you're in good enough shape to be able to climb back up from the very bottom of the cavern as it is quite a long journey uphill. I recommend visiting and seeing the beauty of nature.
It was way more exciting and honestly peaceful than we thought. All the churches were amazing the history is there. This was a great close to home visit!!! Plus its free!!!
Went on a Monday morning so it wasn't too crowded. My son loved the outdoor water play and there's a little town where kids can pretend to shop or drive, which is great. Another positive was the calm room, which had a lot more calming activities. The only problem I had was upstairs where it can get rather noisy from some of the activities and my son gets over-stimulated by sounds. They do offer a sensory friendly program, but its difficult to find information on the website for it.
What great Texas history. Also the only world UNESCO heritage site in the state of Texas. They must visit. If you do one of the guided tours with the national Park guide it’s worth it. They also have free Wi-Fi and QR codes to give you the history of the place.
Probably the most rustic of the mall. But the cathedral is so small and so cute. It was my favorite church out of the five missions. A must see.
We came for the laser show they put on for Cinco de Mayo. It was a cool show and we’re glad that we came. They put it on around dusk. Kids liked it as well and awesome plaza and park in front. Seating is hard to come by so arrive early or plan on sitting on the ground or standing the whole time.
If you’re thinking to yourself “What is a great way to throw away money?” then look no further! Prepare yourself for an uneventful time at Kiddie park, where all the rides are closed except the miniature ferris wheel. You ever see that episode of SpongeBob where Mr. Krabs opens up a trash theme park as a cash grab? Id rather go there
Really cool place to visit. I enjoyed learning about the different missions and the culture at each one. Each mission was beautiful in its own way. I loved the architecture and the simplicity of the design. The park rangers were knowledgeable and kind. Don’t skip this park! It’s way better than the Alamo!
Small and quaint cluster of shops. Some are pretty unique and make their products on site. I found a couple of good bargains and an awesome margarita place!
The cathedral is religiously gorgeous! We attended the Saturday vigil mass and view the architecture afterwards. Many religious artifacts and glass arts were donated by generous people. It is very fascinating to witness the prayer room and able to stand at the heart of San Antonio!
The park experience was incredible. The rides were really fun. We started out at Hurricane Harbor (the waterpark within Six Flags) just because it was a hot summer day so that we could cool off and then just a little after 6pm we made our way to the amusement park to ride the rides. Everything was awesome. I do recommend to get there early so that you can enjoy the rides and Waterpark before all the long lines. The wait times to ride the rides both at the waterpark and the amusement park were long so wear comfortable shoes and clothes. It was definitely a memorable experience and we will be coming back!
Inside missions state park is a xhnace to step inside a beautiful piece of History. Great to visit for architecture or a Catholic Pilgrimage. Mission Espada is a Franciscan Mission located inside of the SA Missions Park. Active Masses take place each day but the park and church are open to the public free of charge! Mission Espada is home to a beautiful kitten with a pretty interesting baxk story. Mission Espada has a gift shop, and on the way out, there is a world map to pin your hometown and even see all of the places other visitors reside.
Absolutely breathe taking. I definitely recommend the SA Light Saga to Catholic and non catholic alike. It's one of a kind!
Had a blast last week. Very hot but many places to duck into to cool off. Lines were not long, rides were moving. Waterpark was packed, I recommend getting there early and renting a lounger. All around fun time and happy we got the season passes and looking forward to going back soon!
It's a beautiful church. They even have a gift shop with amazing gifts. Also inside the gift shop is a history about the church. There's a light show I believe every night at 9pm with vendors in the court yard.
This is a great museum for children under 12 and preschoolers. There is a outdoor treehouse and water area so wear good shoes or swim suits or clothes your willing to get wet. There are also other outdoor play areas with lots of climbing and slides. Tiny Town is great for children under age 5. The cafe is affordable but you can bring food and drinks.
Awesome Experience!
Fun rides, good food, and short lines made this the best theme park experience for the whole family! Definitely get the souvenir cup with unlimited refills and try to visit during the week to have the shortest wait possible for rides!

A thrilling experience, and I loved it!!!! 😍
I went here with my family, and we drove from Kyle to San Antonio to experience the Six Flags! I was able to ride 5 rides and got the tickets for an unlimited ride. The wait for a ride can be from 5 minutes to literally an hour.
Lots of people, even though it's a weekday visit. Tickets cost us around 60$ per person which they say is expensive. I'd suggest to buy a ticket in advance.
Parking is paid, so don't be surprised. It's like 30$ ish parking fee.

I want to share my experience the staff is very helpful. There are many different things for the kids to enjoy from H-E-B ,Whataburger truck , airplane, ups, veterinarians office ,to the outdoors water area and bubbles and science and so much more this place can be enjoyed by everyone. Family friendly and they have a cafe if you get hungry too :)
La Villita is the place to step back into history while checking out artisan boutiques and some fine dining and drinks. Located on the Riverwalk beside the legendary Palacio Del Rio.
One of the best kid attractions in the city! My kids enjoyed it so much the first time we went, we've bought annual season passes ever since! Its well worth the money and pays itself after 3visits! From indoor activities, new exhibits, to ouside bubble, and water interactions! This is easily a must go for all families with young kiddos! You'll have a blast!!
Located on the southern bank of the famed San Antonio River Walk, La Villita now occupies one artsy square block in the heart of downtown San Antonio. The Artisan village is listed on the U.S. government's National Register of Historic Places, featuring architectural styles that range from adobe structures, to early Victorian and Texas vernacular limestone buildings. Today, La Villita is a treasured Artisan and Entrepreneur district with over 25 shops and galleries that showcase local handmade goods and home to over 200 events a year.
Loved the place. Prebooking is advisable.
People who like adventurous rides can take tickets for multiple visits. We spent the whole day in there but couldn't experience all rides as the wait on weekends was huge. The wait was worth though. The only annoying part was when we wait for an hour and then when it's your turn the staff stops you to check the machine. We know that it was for our safety but it happened with us for multiple rides.
Except for that, the place and rides are very good. Must experience. ✌️

This place is always fun for the kiddos. There are multiple activities that promote critical thinking skills for all ages. There are also a lot of fun activities for kids of all ages. There is a gift shop and food vendor on site with decently priced items. Highly recommend if are in san antonio
The church is a remarkable blend of simplicity, beauty, and rich history, adorned with exquisite art that offers diverse perspectives on faith. Its serene atmosphere encourages contemplation and deepens one’s understanding of spirituality. Through its intricate artwork and historical significance
This was a pretty neat part of history to learn about. It's an historical park that is open to public to walk through and learn a bit of history. I loved how we were able to walk in some areas and see how they lived and what they lived in as well as learning about the battles they went through. If your observant enough you will see names and dates in some of the bricks throughout the whole structure on the areas that were never finished being built. If your a big fan of history this is definitely a spot you don't want to pass up on. It is a great experience for your children to be a part of.
We played for almost 3 hours and never even made it upstairs until we needed to head back home to Houston. What a fabulous children's museum. My son was in the Little Town for almost an hour, and we loved the Eric Carle exhibit next to Light and Sound. My family even enjoyed playing outside as the weather was nice for a Texas spring day. The tickets were reasonable, but make sure you pay in person for the teacher or senior discount. Since I paid online, we didn't get the discounts. However, we had such an amazing time, and I drank a really delicious iced coffee from the museum cafe.
Nice area to stroll through. Not very big, but have some small shops and a few eateries. It also leads you to the River Walk to see the historic old theater. All the buildings are Hacienda-style which are very unique. Also, we were able find 5.00 all day parking during the weekday around La Villita areas. (The village has a entrance to the Riverwalk). 👍
✝️ Beautiful Historical Site ✝️
Perhaps most renowned for being the resting place of the Alamo heroes, Cathedral of San Fernando should be on every tourists’s itinerary of stops.
This medium-sized cathedral boasts beautiful colors, architecture, and atmosphere. From the statue of San Antonio out front, to the relics on display within, there are many artifacts to witness in person. Photographers will marvel at the silhouettes, balance, and alignment within.
The cathedral allows visitors to respectfully approach the altar, which must be seen up close in all its rich detail. Because services are held here and many come to pray during daylight hours, a respectful silence is asked of all who enter.
I visited around Christmastime when the cathedral had a “history of Texas” projection in the front of the cathedral. If you get the opportunity to see it, don’t miss out!

Beautiful church, undergoing some construction out front. The inside of the cathedral was amazing! We were in the day after the service for the fallen Pope. Very somber feeling. Amazing to see the pipe organ! Beautiful cathedral backdrop! Just amazing! Glad we walked to see it.
My granddaughter had fun. She is 3 so she definitely fit on the rides perfectly. The atmosphere was very disappointing. 95% of the employees were in a very bad mood. My granddaughter was being polite and say thank you after every ride. The employees would not respond. The ride were very old. Paint chpiping away.
Super cute kid size amusement park. Nestled in a cute area next to the zoo.
We purchased vouchers via Groupon for a great deal, the digital voucher codes were accepted without any issue. Wrist bands provided and into the park we went.
Even when purchasing tickets directly at the venue, you can definitely appreciate the price for unlimited rides. There is even a meal option.
Our 1 and 6 year olds enjoyed the adventures and rode many rides countless times.
Everyone we encountered were friendly and willing to interact and entertain the littles. Plenty of families there and even birthday parties we noticed, but it was not overcrowded which is a plus.
We will definitely return when visiting San Antonio area with the kids again!

My kids had a blast today. This old place still keeps lots of its magic for the little ones. It is interesting to ride 97 year old attractions.
At first sight the park is small, however, we spent three hours there and my kids did not want to leave. They were able to ride many times without having to stand in line. We enjoyed the shade around the attractions.
Also, all the staff were super friendly. We will visit it again!

This was my 1st time to San Antonio TX. My husband wanted to share with me husband his childhood memories. I'm so glad he did. Definitely visit during the day and night, you will see different things each time. Our tour guide on this cruise was so much fun and knowledgeable. They try really hard to get crowd involvement which I enjoyed. A must do!!! Thank you.
Fun little adventure park. Older rides, but definitely 5 and under friendly. Bought the unlimited pass and the kids had fun for a couple of hours.
Only 1 ride out of order. But the rest were working perfectly fine
The staff is absolutely friendly. Good time killer.

Very throughout tour and lively tour guides. I enjoyed the entire experience since it was my first.
Absolutely loved it! I took it right at sunset and our guide was so informative and funny! You could tell she wasn't just reading a script but that she made the show her own! It was great! Highly recommend this to anyone going to San Antonio!
Had a great guide, learned a lot and saw some amazing sites. This is a MUST DO if you visit San Antonio. And get a drink before you go. 😁
We took a private Go Rio boat tour with our group. Good guide, nice sense of humor, knowledgeable about San Antonio history. The tour was 2 hours and had a bin full of various beverages. Relaxing, fun, educational. Great views of the city from the boat! Highly recommend for light history and entertainment value!
I have taken the boat many times with friends and family. I have no complaints. My only suggestion is the high demand and waiting time in December. The walk is very beautiful, calm and you learn many important historical details of the place.
The boat tour on the Riverwalk is a must when visiting. The historic information they share is cool to hear. The area is so beautiful. It is even more beautiful at night.
The boat ride was very interesting, scenic, and educational. Our guide Jason M. was great during the ride, was very funny and had a great singing voice. The ride was the a main staple of visiting the river walk for anyone that decides to visit. Highly recommend 👌
