San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the U.S so of course there are many things to do, which was all listed. Many people are curious because many do not talk about the night life. There is a night life but the people here are more family orienated because of all the military bases, families, and Christian beliefs. You will have a great time with someone of any age. I dont know of many cities that has that many theme parks or tourist attractions. Many cities like Dallas are big but there is nothing to do but go to clubs which is so boring to do the entire time.
What city or state are you from?
