Saw a lot of people check this site out! It looks like there are a lot of histories shown to introduce this place.
It was just way too hot in early August for us to dare walking and going through this place.
Hopefully we get to visit again!

They say everything is bigger in Texas, so I was a little underwhelmed by how small the mission and Alamo actually is. I understand it used to be bigger, but in all the pictures you see it just looks bigger. All in all, very neat history, nice exhibits, self guided tours are easy to follow and don’t forget the canon display off to the side and the 16 pounder up on “the wall” of the old fort.
The only one that does not perform mass , the church is used as a museum, it is something nice to see.
A great informative exhibition worth taking the time to work your way through and read the signs right next to the Alamo. Accessible from the river walk

It's a nice place with a lot of story behind it, a mandatory place to visit if you come to San Antonio.
You can walk for free over the garden and take good photos, but if you want to visit inside of the buildings it is a cheap ticket to buy. It is better to get guide information or to learn before seeing because you can understand better the history.

It is important place in the Texas history. It is known the Alamo Castle.
When Mexican Antonio López de Santa Anna invaded Texas during the Texas Revolution, as many as 200 Texans managed to resist the 5,000-6,000-strong Mexican army for 12 days, taking refuge inside the ruined walls of the castle's inner courtyard, surrounding the castle and keeping it under constant cannon fire. On the thirteenth day (March 6, 1836), the Mexicans entered the castle and Mrs All Texans were killed, except for a woman named Dickinson, her child and two servants.
Moreover it is famous for the world with a film that John Wayne took role.
But Enterence is not free. I thing it should be free particularly for child. Some big companies can be support as in Europe.
