9 Water & Amusement Parks in San Antonio That You Shouldn't Miss
Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

Great place to bring your family for the day. Lots of cool shows to watch and enjoy! Three larger roller coasters to choose from...the Great White Shark was rough, the Steel Eel was just awesome with how high it goes, and the Wave Breaker was the smoothest coaster of all! Neat evening show with fireworks...it focuses more on the music now than the actual water show like it used to!

This is definitely one of the best six flags parks they have an amazing top three coasters with Wonder woman golden lasso Iron Rattler and superman Krypton coaster. The park is beautiful and very clean and the areas have alot more theming then other six flags parks it doesn't feel like a concrete jungle like six flags great Adventure does. They have an amazing setting with the quarry wall and a wide range of attractions for all ages. My only complaint I have is some of the rides had terrible operations most rides including Superman wonder woman and and batman the ride were running pretty quickly,The Wonder Woman and superman crew were espcially great and were working hard to dispatch the trains quickly and they were all at least on two train ops however poltergeist The Joker Carnival of chaos and especially iron Rattler had bad operations.Iron Rattler was breaking down very frequently and only running on partial train ops which really slows the lines down. Also alot of the rides were broken I was there a day and a half and I got on everything I wanted to do but regardless at one point in the day I looked on my flash pass and it said 9 different attractions were currently unoperational which doesnt look good. I still had a really great time at this park. The highlights of my visit were Wonder Woman Golden lasso Iron Rattler Superman, Poltergeist Batman the ride and Bugs White Water Rapids. Overall a great six flags park with a very nice setting and some amazing thrilling coasters the only downside is that rides seem to break down alot and operations aren't the best. This is a great destination for coaster enthusiasts and with SeaWorld san Antonio right down the road it makes it easy to hit both of those parks.

Aquatica is Sea World's water park, for a separate entry fee, and is a great and exciting way to beat the Texas Summer heat. With its family friendly atmosphere to its exciting water thrill rides, this park has a little something for everyone. You can relax at the giant wave pool with the sand beach just adjacent, or get your adrenaline rush on Ohaus drop slide where the bottom drops out and sends you on an exhilarating thrill. The Stingray falls family raft ride ends with a unique view of a sting ray exhibit from inside the tank (in a tunnel) My family and I had a blast at this park and look forward to returning.

My family (2 adults and 9 and 8 years old) had fun on this attraction. It is pretty straightforward where you ride in a jeep and shoot at targets throughout the ride for points. There are a few moments when there is a loud sound or air blasting at you. After you are done with the ride, then there is a free arcade to play at so my kids enjoyed playing vintage arcade games. We got this as part of a ticket package so we thought the experience was worth it. We would come back again.
