[Blackpony]

Me the wife and my 6 yr old daughter are going to San Antonio august 20-24. Looking for some ideas of fun places to go besides the obvious sea world, schlitterban, etc. I see that have a train museum, a zoo, dude ranches etc.

Ready go!

Don't go to the zoo. It's horrible and I was let down when I went. There's always the Alamo.

There's some kid oriented stuff at the Witte Museum. There Ripleys downtown across the street from the Alamo. Ithink there are some thing for kids at the Institute of Texan Cultures. Theres the Kiddie Park at Brackenridge Park along with the Brackenridge Eagle train that runs all through the park. And at the same park is the zoo. My sister took my nephew a few weks ago and said they had a good time.

Oh and visiting the alamo is on the list. We went about 4 years ago but now the little one is a bit older id like to take her again.

I live down here, and I would definitely recommend having lunch and touring the guenther house. It's fairly close to the river walk.

There used to be some big Circus museum I visited when I was little. I don't know if it's still there but the kid would like it.

Do not even leave a phone charger in sight, or these damn dirty Apes here will bash in your window to see if anything is connected to it in order to steal it. Happen to my brother when he visited.

I liked their zoo, it's constantly undergoing renovations but was a good visit last time I was there.

If you are into military stuff at all the Quadrangle at Fort Sam Houston is pretty cool. You need to call and see what the entry requirements are but it's worth a visit. When it was setup as a prison for Genomino they let a bunch of random wildlife move in and they are still there for some reason. Wild peacocks, deer, rabbits and whatever just roam all around the facility.

Next to it is the housing for senior command. It's not typical of base housing, it looks more like you are driving through the Hamptons or something. Lots of very large and old mansions with different generals and admirals living in them.

do not even leave a phone charger in sight, or these damn dirty mexicans here will bash in your window to see if anything is connected to it in order to steal it. Happen to my brother when he visited.

Keep in mind that it's on an active military base, you will need to show ID to get in but it's open to civilians, at least the quadrangle is. Just make sure you don't have any thing you wouldn't walk into a federal building with.
