What are some fun things to do on a weekend trip to San Antonio?

Answer 1

It really depends on the age group

The Riverwalk is perfect for all ages. It has some of the best food in San Antonio, even if it is a bit pricey (by pricey I mean tourist prices. Not cheap, but not overly expensive). It's a really beautiful place

If you're going with family, Sea World and Fiesta Texas are fun amusement parks.

Or if you're looking for more of an adult getaway, there's a lot of clubs and bars that one will find. Namely: Grand Central Station, and The Bonham (note: the bonham is a gay club, but it has many heterosexual patrons). The Comedy Club downtown is also a great little niche in San Antonio life.

If you're not looking for the general "touristy" things, try some offbeat restaurants. "The Silos" on Broadway is an EXCELENT restaurant and nightclub that one would normally pass up. It's not very asthetically pleasing on the outside but it is truely one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to. It's a bit expensive but by far worth it. They're menu includes beef, lamb, chicken, sea food, salads and a wide variety of wines. Catch: Gotta be 18, regardless if you're there for the food or for the music.

If by chance you're there on the first weekend of the month, there's a huge thing downtown called "First Friday" by the Blue Star art gallery. It spans for a few blocks. It's local artists, musicians and vendors showing and selling their work. Great atmosphere, never a bore and always something new.

San Antonio's a great place. You'll find plenty of things.

If you're here when they're open don't forget Six Flags and Sea World. On the north side you'll find a great water park, voted best in the country, http://www.schlitterbahn.com/nb/. You could easily spend a full day (or More) at each one of these places. Check out the Mission Trail of which the Alamo is just one of the missions to check out here in town. Then there's the Riverwalk of course and great food all over town.

You are located in the perfect location to take advantage of the many things and places in Texas. There is "Hill Country", Austin, Houston, and any points/cities South. Corpus not only has a great aquarium and some nice beaches, but there is the Texas Treasures gambling ship out of Port Aransas, the evening cruises are a must, upgrade your ticket to take advantage of a truly fine dining experience, plus the free moonlight, stars and ocean. Lots to see in the Rio Grande Valley, plus Mexico is a short hop. Being new to Texas, you will need a bit of time to locate things of interest, but there is something for everyone. Take your gf for a day of shopping at the GREAT outlet malls just outside of San Antonio, if you enjoy Mexican food, then no where except Mexico can compete. Summers and Fall offer numerous Fairs and Festivals, Sports teams abound, fishing, hunting, etc are some of the best in the country. Keep looking and exploring, there is something for everyone in Texas!
