Theme Parks & Adventure
There’s a treasure trove of popular kid-centric theme parks and adventures in San Antonio, from the world's largest marine par, SeaWorld San Antonio, to the nation's third largest zoo. Schilitterbahn Waterpark Resort was named the world's best waterpark by the Travel Channel, and Oprah ranked Enchanted Springs Ranch one of the nation's top "quirky" family attractions.
Explore Six Flags Fiesta Texas' two hundred acres of playground, the massive underground caves at Natural Bridge Caverns, or the exotic animals at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. Travel 750 ft. to the top of the revolving Tower of the Americas, or, hop a helicoptor and see the city from above.
The interactive fun at the San Antonio Children's Museum and the Witte Museum, and the real trains at the Texas Transportation Museum will entrance youngsters for hours.
