25 Fun Things to Do in San Antonio, Texas, San Antonio, Texas

There are so many fun things to do in San Antonio, Texas and the surrounding suburbs of New Braunfels and Gruene.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from and it’s great to visit whether it’s day time or night time.

You can schedule a guided walking tour through the site in advance for anywhere from $30-$45 depending on your age and eligible discounts.

If you want to just visit the Alamo Church on your own, it’s free, but you still need to schedule a timed ticket for entry in advance.

It’s located in the same vicinity as the Riverwalk and Alamo, so it’s easy to do all of these one after the other when you’re in San Antonio.

We took lots of pictures and videos while we were there and the kids loved all the different flowers and the ducks.

The following attractions you can buy individual admission tickets for, but to really get the most bang for your buck, I highly recommend the San Antonio GoCity Pass.

GoCity attractions cards offer included admission to over 400 top attractions, activities, tours, and museums for one low price!
