San Antonio is 400 sq. miles of beautiful, historic city.
Therefore, I'm afraid that your question is a bit broad. I will, however, still make an attempt.
There is, of course, the Alamo and Riverwalk. We have all the usual restaurant chains. Downtown San Antonio offers tons of historic sites with the various missions, as well as great shopping. There is also Market square, which offers food and merchandise sold by local artisans. We also have an IMAX theater downtown located inside the Rivercenter Mall. Speaking of Rivercenter Mall, they have decent food and shopping, as well an arcade.
The nightclub scene downtown is pretty good, but can be a bit expensive. It is best to get with some locals who know their way around. (We won't bite... much...)
You can also take in a Spurs game, if you're here during the season, at the AT&T center (not the Alamodome...) The Silver Stars (our WNBA team) play at the Alamodome.
Also, if you're here during the first friday of the month, you can check out first friday. On the first friday of every month, local artists get with local galleries in Southtown (south of downtown) and dislpay fresh art. There is food, live music, and a ton of great people.
The San Antonio Zoo is always a good stop. They have just about every animal you expect to see at the zoo. Beware, however, that they are currently rennovating, so some displays may be closed.
The Witte museum is located on Broadway near downtown, and is an inexpensive diversion. There is also the San Antonio Art museum and the McNay art museum, both of which have fantastic displays year round.
There are also two outlet malls that offer discount name brand goods in San Marcos, about 40 miles north of town.
Like theme parks? I hope so, because we have two. There is Six Flags Fiesta Texas, which is always a good time; and Sea World San Antonio, for the fish-lovers.
As for waterparks, there is Splashtown here in town and Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, about 30-45 minutes away. Both are fun, but Schlitterbahn tends to get a bit crowded in the summer.
Also in New Braunfels is the Texas Ski Ranch, which offers everything from water skiing to a skateboard park. They're pretty much an extreme sports complex.
North of town you can find the Natural Bridge Caverns, which offer tours of naturally occuring underground caverns. There is also the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, offering tours of... you guessed it... various wildlife.
For all of your horse racing and gambling needs, there is Retama Park on the northeast side of town. It's nice.
These are just some of the things to do in and around San Antonio. There is tons more, but I'm tired of typing.
Hope this helps!!
