Thinking about travel to San Antonio? You'll remember the Alamo. And the food. And the roller coasters.
Remember the Alamo? Not a problem--I can help because I'm still dreaming about it.
I was lucky enough to hitch onto a press trip to San Antonio, Texas recently, as Cool Mom Picks aims to cover more fun and interesting travel options and family vacation destinations by popular request, and boy am I glad I did. With international taxes and fuel surcharges making overseas trips more prohibitive, it's great to know that there are so many cool things to do right in our own borders.
I admit that San Antonio isn't the first place I necessarily think of when I'm considering booking a trip. But as it turns out, whether you're traveling with kids or taking a much-needed kid-free trip, San Antonio has a lot to offer.
[Don't miss an amaaaazing giveaway after the jump! Free trip, anyone?]
Getting Around
I'm going to cut right to the chase and tell you my very favorite thing about San Antonio: You don't need a car for 95% of the awesome stuff.
Bonus when you're traveling with kids. The downtown area is
unbelievably safe and easily traversed, whether you're on your feet with
a stroller, taking a bus or trolley, floating on a river taxi, or
enjoying a Cinderella-esque ride in a horse-drawn carriage lit with
sparkling lights. The San Antonio River ripples right through the
downtown area alongside dozens of hotels, all within walking distance of
the Alamo, museums, rides, shopping, hiking trails, art installations,
and restaurants. You can even take a boat tour to learn more-- or lure
your kids to sleep.That means that as long as your hotel has an airport shuttle, you don't have to fiddle with a rental car and car seats and the GPS with a snotty voice telling you to turn left into a field full of steers--which is my biggest traveling fear.
But that also means you have to go when it's warm, because when winter winds rip between the tall buildings, it's like being in a freezing wind tunnel. Anything after March should be fine-- they kept telling us, "It never gets this cold!" But for a couple of nights... boy, it was.
The Attractions
San
Antonio seriously has something for everyone and would make a great
multi-generational trip. There's history galore, from the beautiful
missions to the beloved Alamo, which is right smack in the middle of
downtown, across from the helpful Convention and Visitors Bureau and the
kitschy museums. Now I am talking talking serious, full-tourist, more-for-kids-than-you kitsch: think Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium of two-headed calves, Guinness World Records, and Louis Toussaud's Wax Works, which got super creepy in the religious, historic, and fairy tale parts after the celebrity section. (It ain't Madam Toussaud's, but they've got a great Bumblebee Transformer that has convinced my children I'm cool, as you can see.)
Campy stuff aside, there is a Children's Museum, but I wasn't that impressed; seemed like they were missing a lot of parts and toys. The grocery play station should have food, right? There are also a host of downtown museums and if you grab a city pass, they're a lot more affordable. It can be a fun way to pass the time indoors.
The Best of the Attractions
If you want to let the kids run wild at the San Antonio Zoo or Botanical Gardens, there's a bus just for tourists that will get you to all of the sights for $4 a day per adult. The zoo had a great kids' area where you can pretend to be a prairie dog or worm, and we got to see all the big animals. The reptile house had more venomous snakes than I've ever seen and an entire family of Komodo dragons. The Botanical Garden is beautiful with lots of room to run--but there is nothing specifically for kids. You'll know whether yours are the types who appreciate nature or not.
The Witte Museum, on the other hand, is surprisingly kid-centric, especially when you get out back to the HEB Science Treehouse, Mt. Witte climbing wall, and SkyCycle. If you like heights, the Tower of the Americas can take you up 750 feet for a beautiful view of San Antonio, and your ticket price includes a hilarious 4-D film experience that will have your little ones squealing about bull snot for
days.I was thrilled to get to hit Sea World (yes, there's one in Texas) which was utterly phenomenal. It's the one attraction that requires a car, but if you've got teens who love roller coasters, kids who dig whales, or tiny tots that will freak when they get to hug the real Grover, make sure to plan it into your trip. They've got a new Sesame Street Bay of Play with enough water and dry fun to keep preschoolers happy and cool all morning; not to mention a live Sesame Street show and a great photo opportunity with the requisite characters. My personal favorite was The Great White roller coaster, which is totally worth making someone else watch the kids for half an hour.
Also keep in mind that just walking around can be a cool cultural experience for kids, considering everyone in town is bilingual with English and Spanish. So even a trip to the drugstore can be fun and interesting for little ones.
Eating. Oh, the Eating!
San Antonio restaurants definitely spoiled my stomach. Zagat has a full 713 listings for San Antonio, so believe me, this is an eating mecca. Families will love breakfast at the historic Guenther House, where the cinnamon rolls were approximately the size of my head (but tasted much better). If mom and dad can manage to get away alone, I recommend a romantic dinner at the Little Rhein Steak House, which has a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the San Antonio River. The night we dined there, live music was playing across the river and they offered us ponchos to ward off the chill. I've also read good things about Rosario's, which is near the Alamo and listed as one of the top 50 restaurants in the US.
But again, wherever you eat, you don't have to drive there. So bring on the margaritas! Especially at swanky Q Restaurant, which is located in the Hyatt Regency, right on the river.
The Hotels
Downtown San Antonio has loads of hotels at a wide range of prices. If you're into the haunted/historic thing where they still use brass keys, try the Alamo-adjacent Menger Hotel or the Fairmount, which has a dog concierge named Luke-- yes, an actual yellow Lab-- and is across the courtyard from the best Italian food I've ever had at Tre Trattoria. And they have all the standards, such as the Hyatt and the Marriott, where I stayed. The Marriott Rivercenter was good to me, with bath products from the Body Shop and a choice of colors when I lost my toothbrush. It's also connected to a mall, which can be handy if you forget your swimsuit or need a trip to the Disney Store to placate a tiny tired traveler. And there's a Starbucks in the lobby, too. Another plus: The Marriott is so tall that you'll always be able to find it, even at night.
Travel Tips You Might Not See Everywhere
If you can avoid a layover at the Houston Airport, by all means do. It was a lot like someone's first day at Hogwarts, with changing gates and late flights and bad food and early flights and customer service lines so long that people missed their flights before they could find their luggage. I'd also counsel you to check the San Antonio weather first, because I don't think it would be much fun in the cold.
You can check the San Antonio Visitors Bureau website for special event information to plan your visit at just the right time, including the San Antonio SPURS basketball season between January and April and the amazing Luminaria art festival in April.
I also suggest if you've got young kids, bring a stroller that can maneuver up and down a couple of steps without collapsing, since there are occasional stairs when you're hoofing it. My other personal favorite tip: instead of the stroller, bring a great buckle baby carrier like the FreeHand. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
If you're looking for a fun and, more importantly, easy travel destination for the whole family, San Antonio really can be a great way to go. Check out the San Antonio travel deals right here for some cool passes that will get you into lots of the attractions mentioned above, and visit www.VisitSanAntonio.com or call toll free 1-800-447-3372 for help planning a trip.
Congratulations to Emily D. for winning a free trip to San Antonio plus hotel, restaurant vouchers and airfare. Wow!
Thank you to the San Antonio Convention Bureau for including us on this press trip, and covering Delilah's expenses. Margaritas on her next time.

We definitely go see the River Walk. http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx My friends went to cheer on our college football team for the Alamo Bowl and said they had so much fun and how pretty the river walk was - I'd have to go check that out since I was the only one that couldn't go.
This IMAX show of the battle at the Alamo would thrill my elementary school aged kids!
http://www.imax-sa.com/
Thanks!
I would love to go to Sea World. When I was younger, my family would vacation to San Antonio, but never got the opportunity to go. I would love to take my kids one day!
I would love to go back to San Antonio! I visited there very briefly when I was 18, and I know that there is so much more to do and see. I'd love to revisit Enchanted Rock! It's a beautiful place to visit.
http://visitsanantonio.com/visitors/shop/shopping-details/index.aspx?id=413

http://www.seaworld.org/adventure-camps/swt/day/camps/stroller-club.htm

Thank you for another great contest!!
I always wanted to go to Texas!! I think my boys would LOVE Sea World! It looks like so much fun. I can't believe all the fun things there are to do in San Antonio.
Well, the first stop has to be the Alamo for me: http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2037. I've wanted to see it since I saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a kid. :)
I would love to visit the River Walk.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2317
We're born and bred Texans and have never taken our kids to SA! It was one of my family's (and my husband's) favorite vacation spots when I was growing up and I just can't wait to show it to my children. I would love to hit Sea World and the Mercado along with the Alamo (of course)!
The Zoo of course!!
I would absolutely LOVE to take my kids to San Antonio. My 8 year old daughter just loves history and the Alamo. I would most like to see Sea World because all of my kids would really enjoy that :) Thanks for such a great opportunity :)
The kids would probably say Sea World but River Walk looks great for me!
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/alamo/history.html
is it totally cheesy to say i'd want to see the alamo? it's such an american icon!
I would absolutely love to win this prize. I have family in SA that I haven't seen in a while as air travel is so costly now and I miss them dearly! I would love to take a sunset river cruise on the River Walk with my hubby!! http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx
We'd do Sea World for sure - http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2027 - my kids can't get enough of Shamu, and it's been almost 2 years since we've seen him! Quite an impression he made.
There are so many amazing places to visit! I think that the Alamo would be a family favorite. Here's the link! http://visitsanantonio.com/alamo/
I'd love to visit the Alamo http://visitsanantonio.com/alamo/ and take the kids there. I think it would be education and fun for them.

http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2027
Since it's starting to warm up, I'd love to visit the Schlitterbahn Water Park. http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2025
Yummy - Food! My daughters are tolerant of large amounts of spice, and I think even they would enjoy it.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/festivals-events/Culinaria/index.aspx
If we couldn't do the trip at that time of year, though, we would enjoy the ghost tour:
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2004
A stroll along the River Walk & stopping for food/shopping looks awesome!
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx
The Alamo Riverwalk looks like a lot of fun.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/explore-the-river-walk/index.aspx
The Transportation Museum sounds like it's worth checking out:
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2148
I've been to San Antonio once and it was fabulous! Would love to take our kids there! My husband and I love the River Walk, but I think the kids would love Sea World the most! http://www.seaworld.com/
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2027 -- My son would never forgive me if I said anything but Seaworld. Both my kids think anything having to do with fish or the ocean is fantastic.
I went to San Antonio many years ago, before I had kids or even met my husband. I loved it and wished I could have stayed longer. Fabulous food, and everyone I met was unfailingly kind.
What an amazing trip! My whole family would love it!!
Would love to visit the kiddie park!!
http://visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2696
I went to SA with my dad when I was in like 5th grade. I remember the RiverWalk http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx and have dreamed of taking my 5 boys there someday. Can't wait!
The Alamo! Great history! http://visitsanantonio.com/alamo/
I would love to visit San Antonio again. I went once when I was in 8th grade. I would most look forward to Sea World with my 18 month-old daughter. She would love it!
http://visitsanantonio.com/visitors/save/theme-parks/details/index.aspx?itemid=404
I hate to be so unoriginal, but we've never been to SA and would love to visit...(wait for it)...THE RIVER WALK!
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx
We'd definitely want to take the kids to the Alamo and all the museums, but I know they're favorite would end up being Sea World and Six Flags http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/theme-parks/index.aspx
I LOVE San Antonio! One of the first things I would do is go to Casa Rio and have a margarita on the River Walk.http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/eat/restaurant-details/index.aspx?id=1304 I can taste the salt and lime already!
I just got done reading your article and loved it. I am looking forward to the restaurants since I went to culinary school.... but the River walk http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx is especially something I am looking forward to... and since I am Irish, I am going to hope the luck o' the Irish is on my side! Thank you for such a great contest!
Bobbie
I love history, so would love to visit the Alamo. I've never been to Texas!
http://visitsanantonio.com/alamo/
I would love to visit many of the historic missions and the Alamo! http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/plan/featured-stories/san-antonio-missions/index.aspx
My husband and I visited Sea World in San Antonio before we had kids, and we had a great time. I would love to take the kids there now.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2027
I have longed for a trip to "The Riverwalk" it seems like such a romantic place to visit - my husband and I have never head a honeymoon and think this would be a fantastic place.
Also see the link to the Japanese Tea Garden, looks so beautiful. http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2668
The food is definitely the best part of San Antonio - I'd plan a girls' weekend with my mom and sisters that might include a cooking class at the Culinary Institute, as well as eating lots of yummy Mexican food!
http://visitsanantonio.com/visitors/eat/index.aspx
The River Walk just sounds too relaxing and fun-filled to pass up.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx
Would love to take my baby Kenzie to Sesame Street Bay of Play http://www.seaworld.com/sanantonio/
The Fiesta San Antonia festival looks like one of those INCREDIBLE cross-cultural experiences.
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/festivals-events/fiesta/index.aspx
BTW, the San Antonio Convention Bureau may not want to brag about this but we thought it was very cool that Austin was ONLY like an hour away and there is an incredible waterpark in between in New Braufels
http://www.schlitterbahn.com/nb/
and outlet shopping if that is your thing. If you wanted to explore nature with a car there are excellent tubing opportunities on the river!
http://visitsanantonio.com/alamo/
Basement of the Alamo anyone? Would love to go and check it out!
The safari sounds wonderful! http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2012
We really want to go to Sea World!!!
San Antonio is our favorite place. Things not mentioned here are the wonderful things that are just outside of town like the Natural Bridge Caverns in New Braunfells (need a car for that one) but worth the trip.
It is unfortunate that the contest is only US as it is our dream to go back to San Antonio and we live in Canada.
Would love to take my daughter to see the River Walk! http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/the-river-walk/index.aspx
Great prize. My husband and I have always wanted to see the Almo and to be able to take the kids even better. Thanks for the chance.
Like I said we'd like to see the Almo, but I know the kids would LOVE SeeWorld since we don't have anything like that here in Minnesota!
http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2027
What an AWESOME giveaway! Of everything listed, the Kiddie Park looks like something everyone in my family would enjoy, and be low-key enough at the same time: http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/plan/featured-stories/old-fashioned-family-fun-in-san-antonio/index.aspx
Thanks,
-Leslie
I haven't been to San Antonio since my mom was life-flighted there during a trip to Cancun. She received such great medical care that my dad and i were able to go enjoy the river walk while she rested. I would love to bring my children to San Antonio to see SeaWorld.
Love Texas! Hubby and I visited the Alamo 8 yrs ago, but would love to go back with the kids.
Would love to time the trip around Noche del Rio festival - http://www.alamo-kiwanis.org/FiestaNoche.html

We lived in Dallas for 10 years and often traveled south to Austin, San Antonio, and even Corpus Christi.

San Antonio is such a great city. Schlitterbahn Water Park is a great water park. We had so much fun when I went there several years ago.

Wow, I honestly didn't know there was so many kid friendly things to do in San Antonio.

This is right up my alley, I am from Texas but live in Florida now, my husband and I honeymooned in San Antonio, a second honeymoon to celebrate 11 years of wedded bliss would be amazing :) No visit to San Antonio is complete without a meal at Mi Tierra, the best TEX-MEX!! http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/eat/restaurant-details/index.aspx?id=1573

I love San Antonio, and my family lives in nearby New Braunfels, so this would be a great opportunity to bring the grandkid for a visit. That being said, one of my favorite San Antonio attractions is the missions: http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/plan/featured-stories/san-antonio-missions/index.aspx
Here's the link to Culinaria, tho it doesn't seem to be working at the moment: http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/festivals-events/Culinaria/index.aspx

My bedtime reading right now is a history of Tex-Mex food in pictures and recipes by Robb Walsh and San Antonio features prominently, so a close second would have to be the restaurants!
