This review is mostly for the Aqua Glow event, that takes place from 6 - 11 pm. It overlaps a…read morelittle bit with the regular Aquatica general admission hours that typically end at 7:30 pm. Before the end of general admission hours, my sister and I were able to purchase the last 2 trays of fish to the feed the stingrays before Aquatica ran out by early evening :) ! We absolutely loved Aqua Glow because the majority of visitors from the daytime have gone home, and it's a lot easier to really enjoy the water rides and the pools without dealing with the crowds :) ! We could go on rides multiple times without waiting in long lines, and enjoy the pools without constantly bumping into other people :D ! And when the fluorescent lights come on, the entire water park is truly awesome and amazing to admire all lit up :D ! While we were standing in line for Sting Ray Falls (which for us, was a really short line), we had such a spectacular view of the Sea World fireworks :D ! You can walk barefoot throughout the park if you want to. But I personally think it's much better to have water shoes or sturdy waterproof sandals because not all pavements are smooth. However, you just have to keep in mind that you can't wear flip flops or certain shoes on the water rides, and may have to hold onto them (which is a hassle) or you can rent a locker and lock them up. Most of the small and jumbo lockers were taken. But fortunately, we were still able to rent a large locker (which is obviously bigger than a small locker, but smaller than a jumbo) for $42, and access it multiple times until the end of our rental. If time permits before Aqua Glow finishes on Sept 5, we would absolutely love to come again :D !!

Visited the park this past week because we have the free pre school passes and I have a season…read morepass. I was surprised to learn that parking is a whopping $40 for standard parking & Covered parking is $70! My littles and I walked over to the front gate where the security guards were checking the guests bags, which I appreciated. There was a security guard, whose name I will not post, but I will post his initials GV. He was rudely shouting at the guests to move forward or "get out of the way because you're blocking the line" and "move it lose it people".... In my opinion, Seaworld is very much for younger children (despite them offering a few roller coasters). This type of attitude toward guests should not be allowed, and it should certainly not be the first thing people hear when entering the gates... I was there with my two toddlers. I certainly don't want someone yelling at me to "hurry up or get out of the way." That not something you tell a mom who is trying her best, or any family that just paid $40 for parking + $79 per single daily pass, at MINIMUM . I think he should be talked to and reminded he's not a bouncer, but rather a security guard at a kid/family friendly establishment. We arrived early, so we didn't have to wait long to get in, nor did we have an issue finding a seat. Surprisingly, there were plenty of seats available from open till we left, about 2pm. I was appalled at the price of popcorn (+$11) and the taste was terrible. It was HIGHLY BUTTERED AND SALTED. They sold me on the bucket because it's $5 for refills, but that's still a very high cost for popcorn. Next time I will ask them to make fresh stuff with little to no additives. As it is, it's A terrible snack for kids who are out in the sun all day. The water and ice were free, but you have to find a designated stations for it, which can be difficult for any person, especially those with littles. I think it should be more readily available for guests. I appreciated that the park offered different sections to appeal to the population. There were not many tubes at the lazy river and we sometimes had to wait a while before getting one. I would love for their floats to have bottoms so the littles can sit and enjoy. I, also, appreciated that the lifeguards were available in abundance and seemingly took their job seriously, as I didn't see them playing around or talking and such. I loved the family restrooms and the cleanliness of the restrooms because I understand it can be a challenge in Waterparks. Overall, I would go again and recommend it, but I would caution against the excessive unnecessary costs (parking & snacks/drinks). Overall, my score is based on the security guard at the entrance, and the extremely high cost of everything... which I suppose is expected at a waterpark. I did not get photos because I wanted to respect the privacy of the attendees.

So when I spotted a…read more$124 Groupon for the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience 10-lap "Qualifier" package (regularly $249), I went for it. We arrived at San Antonio Speedway at the appointed time. Check-in was smooth, and everyone was very friendly. They asked my wife if she wanted to add a 3-lap ride-along with a professional driver for another $59 (regularly $99). We decided to go for it, and this ended up being a good idea. My wife felt the ride-along helped her when it came time to do the actual drive. My wife's driving group went through a 45-minute class to learn the procedures and safety considerations, and then they walked out to the pit area to suit up in preparation for their race. Everything went smoothly, and everyone had a great time. In fact, my wife had so much fun that she's already planning to do it again the next time the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience comes to town. Quick note about the facility: San Antonio Speedway is still in pretty bad shape, having only recently reopened after about 4 years of disuse. But the owners are working hard to get things going again. I expect it will soon be back up to speed.

This is…read moreone of four (five with The Alamo) San Antonio missions in the National Parks system, and you get to walk back in time at this CCC-restored, community advocated site whose advocacy history is also on display. Put on your sunscreen and set aside 2-3 hours, or more if you like! A couple hours flew by before we noticed, and there is so many neat things to see. You are also walking into the present: San Jose is still an active congregation where you can attend mass, light a candle, and the congregation might be already having an event. Thankfully the air-conditioned chapel was open during our visit. As a fee-free site, you can leave $ for the congregation in a donation box by the holy water, or visit the gift shop. Alas the gift shop inside the mission walls was closed, but the visitor center (after staff lunch) was open and full of souvenirs and reading material. What a beautiful chapel, and lovely landscaping and birds outside. Some even nested in crevices outside the chapel walls. A profound spot all around. San Jose isn't the closest mission to downtown, but is the only site with a visitor center, and a good spot if your kid's earning a junior ranger badge (ps, the junior ranger badge collection displayed at the visitor Center is itself amazing).

We spent about an hour here walking around and enjoying the place and it's very peaceful, well-kept, and beautiful. Well worth a visit if you are in San Antonio.

There were only two stops this ride, but we have had 4 stops in the past. The staff is friendly and the annual pass is only $25, so a great deal if you'll ride 2-3x in the year. We accidentally spilled a Drink on the seat. I asked for napkins or towels, but the staff were nice and reassured me not to worry about it. Overall, I'd say this is a must, especially if you have littles.

You got to see something this train ride has none of that. You just happen to be right in front of the zoo I guess it goes very slowly around a decent size park and up along the driving range of a golf course. It clearly seems like the train ride used to have multiple stops and starts to help people get around But now has just become one loop frankly for the almost $20 the cost I was disappointed my wife was as well. Our eight-year-old son thought it was cool, but they don't narrate the experience. They don't tell you about the area. They don't provide much more than a very slow train ride around a park.

I chose to join one of the ranger-led tours at Mission San Jose to get a little more information. The tour is very informative and you learn a lot about the history of the Mission San Jose and the general era of the missions. I didn't have a lot of knowledge of that time, so being able to hear about the history and walk around the mission to see the architecture was very cool. I also went up to Mission Concepcion to see the church there. Being in these places, you really feel the history all around you in a different way. Absolutely worth taking some time to explore and try to pay attention to the amazing details.
