Sites to See:
Visit the Historic site of the 13 day siege that was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. The site was originally founded by Roman Catholic missionaries in the 18th century, then abandoned, which became a fortress with periodic garrisons after. On February 23, Mexico took 2000+ soldiers to reclaim the fort, which had a force around 200+ total men from the Republic of Texas.
From April 24 to May 4, 2025, discover Fiesta San Antonio, a celebration and parades in commemoration of the Battle of the Alamo, and the rich diverse culture of the people of San Antonio. The parades often include sculptures decorated with a plethora of different types of colorful flowers. Hear plenty of musicians perform, and indulge in a selection of tasty cuisine. Funds go towards helping the citizens and the city of San Antonio as well!
Come visit a fascinating aquarium with a number of interactive exhibits with the animals. The aquarium is home to tons of marine life, and even birds, reptiles, and mammals! Rather you want to interact with a cute penguin, hold a sloth, lemur, or a iguana, there's something for everyone.
