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.
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.
