The other staff were also cordial and pleasant Having studied the Righteous Among the Nations, those gentiles who ridker heir lives and livilihoohod to save Jews during the Holocaust, I appreciated this museum profiling these Righteous on one wall, as they served as the great lights during the Holocause experience.

Definitely grateful we came here to learn more about this very devastating historic event.

There is a public parking lot down from the museum on the corner of West Market Street and South Alamo Street. One may think, why go to a Western museum, but it's more than just Western information. This museum tells the story of how Texas became Texas. The various tidbits of information were just great, like who knew that in New Spain, Franciscan friars were the first missionaries playing a huge role in evangelizing. If you're even a little curious about how Catholicism plays a role in history, this museum answers those questions and offers insight. They also have an area for Selena. I thought there would be more info about her in that area, but I definitely loved seeing photos from the photographer's own collection. The museum is definitely worth checking out! They also have information for free field trips and various community days with additional activities. The staff to include the security is very knowledgeable about the museum as well.

This is such a fun activity for families to check out, with several parts of the museum having interactive art. My favorite part was seeing the exclusive Selena art exhibit which ends January 4th so make sure to check it out before it's gone! It was amazing seeing the history behind some of the topics discussed in school and around the world. This is a great place for some down time especially if you are looking for something different and quiet to do in San Antonio. They also offer tours and sometimes have different events that happen so make sure to follow their accounts to keep up with what's going on!

The $100 dollar per ticket price tag includes four drink tickets, an unlimited sampling of all food items. There is no on-site parking, ride share options are relegated to certain areas. Three pick up and drop off locations throughout the event transport you by charter bus to the event. I'm probably stating the obvious at this point. I can only explain why my experience was underwhelming. Firstly heeding the advice of other Yelpers I got here early. Initially all the lines were at a minimal. I made a beeline for The Orginal Donut Shop only to find a health inspector, who (in)conveniently decided to check foods right at opening time. Whilst waiting people began filing in, adding to the already growing manicotti moshpit. By seven o' clock most lines wrapped around walkways. The result were patrons pushing, grinding and bumping their way through. A huge factor was the spacing of booths. This created traffic and you couldn't tell where one line began and another one ended. It was a huge clusterFUDGE! The thinking by fiesta goers is that the exorbitant price will filter out people, the elements that make the other events unpleasant; ie. overcrowding. This could not be further from the truth. On the contrary quarters were very tight. Anywhere you stand is to be in someone's way. In addition performance stages were brilliantly placed nearby food and drink booths. For example The Spazzmatics were performing right next to a barbecue and an Italian food vendor. It's like you could get a slider and rock out to Devo's" Whip it" at the same time. This made absolutely no logistical sense. I read another review that said that this is a classy affair. To me that is very subjective. It has more to do with selection than presentation. At that capacity most of the businesses were not out of the ordinary. In addition some vendors offered healthy sized samplings, like the Snooze Eatery A.M. But for the most part samples were bite size. I saw people wait an eternity in line just for a meatball. I'm wondering in the VIP area, which I never saw, if the selection was much better? Krispy Kreme did offer a donut shish kabob. And on the drink end I must confess I'm not into wine. Nor the spirits for that matter. I fancy myself a beer drinker and the selection would shock even Howard Stern. Mind you HEB was giving away free wine samples. But on the beer front they only had Stella Artois, Bud light and Karbach, which is basically Budweiser. For future reference they should at least raise their beer profile. Otherwise just serve me a Mickey's Bigmouth in a brown paper bag. Factoring in everything the vibe was very frat house meets a food sampling at HEB Central Marketplace. I understand that this event is for a good cause. I definitely would not take that away from them. However this event made me miss the grit, the campiness of all other fiesta events. The irony of fiesta is that it embraces royalty then mocks it. At this event fiesta-goers bask in class, status and super cool Stella Artois glasses, courtesy of the VIP section. Will I ever attend this again? Let's say as a San Antonian I have a Fiesta Check Off list. "Taste of the Northside." I did it. Now scratch it off.

I'm happy with general admission: 5 drink tickets and all you can eat from 50 or so restaurants. Fast food types all the way to Mimosa and Tejas de Brazil, Texas Roadhouse, sushi zushi, too many to name. Some are true sample size, others are fill-you-up size. You can go back as many times as you wants. So if you just have a few favorites, knock yourself out. Me, I eat it all. Ha, ha. Alcohol: Deep Eddy vodka, Avon tequila, serving full size margaritas for 2 tickets. By the way, more drink tickets can be bought 2 for $15, after you blow your free five tickets. Yeah, baby. Go there next year. By the way, all proceeds benefit the Brighton Center, doing good for children with various disabilities. 04/24/19 We like the way they opened it up in the back. How does Sonterra really feel about all of us tromping on their golf course? Anyway, it was the usual great event. Beer, wine and cocktail stations abound! They were everywhere. Each cocktail station prepared a different drink. The standouts: watermelon margarita, creamitini and the como la flor (yes, for Selena). They topped it with a small flower. Among the food: the Rustic, Kirby's, Pesto, So Hill Cafe, the Hollow, Cover 3, Maggiano's, Whiskey Cake, so, so many others. Music on at least 3 stages. Photo booths. What we really like is that you can park at various locations and be shuttled in. A bit of an adventure last night, though. Our bus driver wasn't too sure about how to get to some of the parking venues. One of the riders moved up by the driver to guide him. It is pretty dark out there. All in all, another great experience. If I may state however, more trash cans are needed as well as a more frequent emptying of them. Go there.
