City Escapes

• San Antonio's extensive park system is one of the largest in the U.S.
• Stroll the Japanese Tea Garden, ride a miniature train, or take in exotic animals at the San Antonio Zoo.
• Dwarf yourself in front of the Tower of the Americas at HemisFair Park

Texas Hill Country

Venture to the lush terrain of the Hill Country, a rolling landscape that comes alive with meandering rivers and live oak adorned hillsides.

The New York Times, in its June 2008 article about 31 great summer trips, ranks the Texas Hill Country at the top of the list. Read the article or learn more about the Texas Hill Country.

Urban Adventures

Explore San Antonio and surrounding areas by taking a ride on a hot air balloon, climbing aboard a helicoptor or strapping into a parachute. For a more tame ride, tour around the city on a segway, take a quiet river cruise through the heart of downtown, or see the sights from a romantic horse-drawn carriage.
