Things To Do
Tower of the Americas
Want to see it all at once? Check out the Tower of the Americas. Tip your hat to Emily's love of architecture by visiting this World's Fair 1968 local landmark.
The Alamo
Did you really go to San Antonio if you didn't go to the Alamo? Check it off the bucket list and... REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
Helotes Gallery
We absolutely love this quaint Old Town gallery. Take some time to check out the local artists beautiful work, including some amazing photography from Emily’s grandfather, Jim Roberts!
Japanese Tea Garden
We visited the Tea Garden with some family on one of our many trips to San Antonio. One of the city's many public parks, the Tea Garden is free to the public and has some stunning scenery and peaceful ambiance.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
You've been to Six Flags, but Fiesta Texas is a whole new spin. If you have some time to kill, this is just right up the road!
Andretti Indoor Karting & Games San Antonio
A familiar face for those of us in Dallas (a.k.a The Colony). A great indoor option for those thrill seekers!
The Shops at La Cantera
Need some retail therapy? Forgot something you need? The Shops at La Cantera is one of our favorite malls.
Mary's Tacos
A delicious local taco restaurant, and a fan favorite amongst the locals. If you're looking for something casual, be sure to give this place a try.
El Chaparral
A local favorite! If you want a true taste of Helotes, you have got to try El Chap ;)
Ocho
For our friends with an elevated palette. We enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner overlooking the riverwalk at this Latin cuisine restaurant. Be sure to check out the hotel bar down below!
