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.
Known as “The Tower,” The Tower of the Americas is a 750-foot-tall tower that offers guests the most spectacular view of Alamo City. Enjoy the stunning panorama from the towers revolving around the award-winning Chart House Restaurant. Take in the scenery from the indoor and outdoor Observation Deck. Grab a drink at the cafe, buy a souvenir at the gift shop, and experience the thrilling 4D Theater Ride.
