Your Texas-sized adventure starts with Mission Adventure Tours, where all nature enthusiasts can explore the great outdoors while having a good time. While there are scenic and historical routes available, there is no better way to appreciate this great city than paddling around in kayaks, biking with traditional and electric bicycles, and walking along the RiverWalk and downtown streets on foot, on and off the beaten path.
Take part in a dynamic experience as you learn about stars, planets, black holes, and distant galaxies at the Planetarium - The Scobee Education Center at San Antonio College. Every Friday night, the planetarium opens to the public, so they get a chance to stargaze and see digitally-created images of stars, planets, and galaxies fill the night sky. Housed atop the iconic blue Charles E. Cheever, Jr. Star Tower, the Scalan Observatory houses a 10-inch refractor telescope and features a 360-degree rotating dome and panel that opens 90 degrees, enabling stargazing in any direction.
Grab your gear and float down the spring-fed, crystal clear, 72-degree water, where you’ll flow through a few tube chutes along the way with Comal Tubes. Take advantage of the fantastic tubing experience with everything you need, such as koozies, towels, sunscreen, apparel, souvenirs, hats, water toys, and snacks. They even have a Party Bus that will pick you up anywhere in Texas and get you back home safe, sound and dry.
Be entertained year-round in multiple venues with high-quality theatrical productions by The Public Theater of San Antonio, where you can choose from classic and contemporary plays. Join the SoTex Play Lab that supports new and emerging local playwrights. Unite with Artists At Work, where they pay artists to keep making art to apply their skills and creative thinking to the community. Connect with The Public in the Public, where performers venture out into the city to connect with the people. Link up with the Resident Artists, where actors, playwrights, and producers in the theater community unite to invest in local theater artists and talent.
