Looking to cool down? Head to nearby New Braunfels for Schlitterbahn Waterpark, one of the country’s top-rated water parks with rides, lazy rivers, and shaded cabanas. Or, stay in town and splash around at SeaWorld San Antonio’s Aquatica, where thrilling water slides and animal encounters make for an unforgettable day with the family.
• Step Into History at The Alamo and Mission Trail:
No trip to San Antonio is complete without visiting The Alamo, the city’s most iconic landmark. Then explore the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where four beautifully preserved missions tell the story of the region’s colonial past. Rent a bike or walk the scenic trail that connects them all.
• Celebrate with Summer Festivals and Concerts:
Summer in San Antonio means live music, food festivals, and cultural celebrations. From the Tejano Conjunto Festival to summer evenings at The Pearl District—where live bands and farmers markets line the plaza—you’ll find exciting events every weekend. Don't miss outdoor movies and concerts at The Historic Market Square or Hemisfair Park.
