Attractions

The Alamo is probably San Antonio's biggest attraction. Getting in to see this wonderful attraction is free, but there is a gift shop and that profits the preservation of the site. Donations are also accepted. The Alamo's website has some wonderful information on the battle that took place there and what the Alamo means to Texas.

For a family vacation, there is a SeaWorld in San Antonio, as well as Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Both are excellent amusement parks for families and would keep your children interested for hours.

Events

The annual Texas Folklife Festival is a popular event held in San Antonio. It's celebrated in June, for four days and is full of diversity and entertainment from many different native cultures.

Fiesta San Antonio! is held city-wide for ten days and includes lots of entertainment, including carnivals, sports, fireworks, live entertainment and even parades. It's an annual event oriented around the whole family and should be missed when visiting the city.
