Once home to the wealthiest merchants in San Antonio, the King William Historic District is where you will find preserved and historic Victorian-Era homes. Most homes are lived in by their current residents, while a few have been converted into shops and cafes, offering a stylish experience and fostering educational, recreational, and cultural activities. Take a stroll and enjoy any of the four self-guided walking tours, the King William Area Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Concepción, and Along the Acequia Madre.
Take a walk on the wild side with SeaWorld San Antonio’s incredible rides, attractions, shows, activities, and animal habitats. Get up close with playful dolphins at Discovery Point, visit the mysterious creatures that dwell in the depths of Explorer’s Reef, and experience the wonder of sea lions and other coastal wildlife at Pacific Point Preserve.
Experience the beauty as you visit Villa Finale Museum & Gardens, one of the last homes of local preservationist Walter Nold Mathis who revitalized the historic King William neighborhood. Take a self-guided or guided tour, and enjoy a close-up look at the unique art and antique collection. Need to plan a special event? Ville Finale's facade, lush gardens, and river-side location provide a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding, graduation, quinceañera, or other special occasions.
