San Antonio Travel Forum

Hi,

We stay in Dallas, TX, my husband an myself are planning to drive to San Antonio for the memorial day weekend. We are planning to stay for 2 days and visit the seaworld. Since, this is our first trip, could you provide any suggestions, like what are the good hotels/studios available near the seaworld at reasonable rates, do we have to reserve them in advance, or can it be reserved after we arrive there, what are the other nearby places to seaworld that are good to visit? Do you know of any indian restaurants nearby? What all attractions are good to see in the seaworld?

Try staying near Fiesta Texas instead. There are tons of restaraunts on I-10 and DeZavala. The shops @ La Cantera ( Fancy new mall ) are right there. I'm sure there are some nice places over by Seaworld, I have only been there twice. It's 45min+ from the NE side of town so I'm not familiar. A trip to the riverwalk should be on the list. Just north of downtown is the zoo, the Whitte museum, the Botanical Gardens, which could be done all in the same ( very long ) day. Or, drive north to New Braunfels to experience Schlitterbahn. On the soth side of town you could do the "Missions driving tour", part of the National Park service.

As for reservations, book early, it's a holiday at the end of school. Anyone with kids will be planning vacations.

Good luck and I hope you find your stay in San Antonio very enjoyable.

In addition to those suggestions by Camermom, don't miss the Museum of Texan Life.

Just wanted to add my must-do's:
1. Enjoy lunch at any Mexican restaurant along the Riverwalk and
2. See the Alamo.
