After Dark
The sun is checking out for the day. But the kids are still restless. What other family fun can you squeeze in before the eyelids finally drop?
The answer: plenty!
DURING THE SUMMER, the San Antonio Botanical Garden offers concerts under the stars, Shakespeare in the Park and Gardens by Moonlight. Productions at the Sunken Garden Theatre, adjacent to Brackenridge Park, range from hard rock shows to classic theater.
ON DOWNTOWN'S RIVER WALK, the Arneson River Theatre is the scene of many extravaganzas. Among the most colorful is the Alamo Kiwanis Club’s folkloric song and dance production of Fiesta Noche del Rio and the Parks and Recreation Department’s BRAVO! Cinco De MAYO showcasing Mexican folklorico and flamenco students.
FROM SPECTACULAR TO SPOOKTACULAR, there are ghost tours available, each leaving from the Alamo Plaza area. Alamo City Ghost Tours can take you to historic cemeteries, plus 13 “haunted” locations. Ghost Hunts of San Antonio Tour boasts “the latest in modern ghost hunting equipment.”
SPOOKY TO SOME FASCINATING TO OTHERS, is the evening departure of bats that can be seen from a spot on the River Walk Museum Reach. Near dusk, from the Interstate 35 overpass at Camden Street, hundreds of bats will take to the night sky. An impressive alternative is the Old Tunnel near Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country.
GRAB YOUR BLANKETS AND LAWN CHAIRS and come out to free Movies by Moonlight, starting at dusk each Thursday in June on the grass in Arch Plaza at HemisFair Park. Snacks and drinks are available and nearby parking is free. Or grab an inner tube and soak in a wave pool at the Dive In Movie on Friday nights at Splashtown.
YOU CAN CATCH NIGHTTIME EXTRAVAGANZAS at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, which holds concerts and projects a spectacular laser and fireworks show onto a quarry wall; and at SeaWorld San Antonio, with its Summer Nights encores on some of the theme park's biggest acts.
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF BAD WEATHER — or just for fun, the Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College is open to the public on Friday evenings with three shows, beginning with a children’s program at 6:30 p.m..
