I am going to visit San Antonio for a few days. Are there any must-see attractions besides the Riverwalk and the Alamo? Currently have a hotel reservation near SeaWorld- is it going to be a problem driving into the city? Is the Zoo worth visiting? Also considered driving to Austin for a day- is that a good idea or should I just stay in SA? |

Yeah it is nice place and zoo is also worth to see,i have been there in 2008 Austin also good to drive and see.
thanks
You MUST go to a Spurs game! The San Antonio Spurs are far by the most creative and funnest basketball team to watch. Trust me you will not be dissapointed by them.
OK, you know about the Riverwalk and the Alamo, but did you know that the Alamo is only a part of the mission story? The San Antonio Missions National Historic Park contains four other historic missions, all within a few miles of one another, and all worth seeing.
Yes, the zoo is great. Also, since you’re in the neighborhood, stop by the restored Sunken Gardens, just a short walk up the sidewalk from the zoo.
If you’re into gardens, the San Antonio Botanic Gardens on Funston street, not far from the zoo, is terrific at any time of year.
San Antonio also has a number of great museums, both art and historic. The McNay is a beautiful place! The San Antonio Museum of Art is also really good. If you’re traveling with kids, the Children’s Treehouse at Witte Museum is a blast!
Shopping? The Rivercenter Mall is on the Riverwalk. There is also North Star Mall (check out the giant boots), The Shops at La Cantera and Quarry Market, to name a few. For something a little different, visit Artisan’s Alley.
You could take the time to drive to Austin for a day, but Austin is a world of it’s own and really deserves more than just a day. But if you do go, a tour of the state capitol, the Bob Bullock Museum and a stroll down Sixth Street are all musts.
Have a great trip!
P. S. As Stephen T suggests, Schlitterbahn, which is in New Braunfels (just up I-35 from San Antonio) is probably the best waterpark in the US.
Check out Slitterbahn if your going in the summer.
The good things to see in San Antonio are:
River walk its a must,
alamo
the villita
La Canterra mall
Sea word its great also its Fiesta Texas
the missions -there are century old missions in san antonio, check them out.
driving to the city from Sea word is not too bad, you will be within 15 of everything. (avoid traveling at 5pm Mon-Fri gets jammed pack!)
The zoo its not so good, skip it.
Yes do go to Austin, see the capitol and on your way to Austin stop at San Marcos shops… you can find great deals on clothes and brand purses, glasses, shoes
