This is a must see if you are in San Antonio the restaurant has an amazing view good food & service. Lil spendy but I understand this isn't you average dining experience as the floor slowly rotates as you eat giving you a view of San Antonio from 700+ ft in the air. The 4D theater short films were a riot they are only 20 minutes but worth it and free with the pass. I recommend going at more towards the evening so you can see views in daylight and night as well.
Finally! After years of driving by I went here. It's a really nice park. The Tower has several things you can do. Go to observation deck very informative walls, eat at the restaurant, watch short 4D movies, gift shop,
Tower of the Americas wzs a lot of fun. An exciring elevator ride to the observation deck. Fantastic views of the San Antonio area. Beautiful water fountains on the ground. The 4D theater is included in the price. Saw an Angry Birds movie. Another about Texas as seen from a helicopter. A fun and must see experience for sll.
I'm always up for visiting a tower/building with an observation deck. The views from Tower of the Americas @ Hemisfair certainly did not disappoint !
What was disappointing was the broken audio on the Six Flags over Texas display. Only 1 or 2 worked properly or at all.
Also the place is very dated and needs some renovations to bring it into 2024. It felt stuffy in the indoor observation deck, smelled like febreeze.
The short movies shown at the base of the tower were very enjoyable.

We went on a Wednesday and the place almost seemed abandoned. There were very few other people there which was nice. I imagine it's much busier on weekends. It's only $18 and you get to go up to the observation as many times as you want all day. It also includes the 4D videos. (Not sure I recommend the 4D videos as they were somewhat entertaining but the 4D experience was very lacking). We spent quite a bit of time in the observation area. It was fine trying to find various places around the city. Side note: the gift shop is very affordable.
My children from toddler to teen love it here. There’s a toddler area, splash pad, 3 mini swimming pools, Yanaguana garden 5 a.m until midnight. There’s areas for picnic , swings, climbing. Overall, a nice place for photos and a day out.
A wonderful place to visit. We had lunch at the top of the tower and the chart House restaurant. Got a very good selection on the lunch menu and you could also order from the dinner menu if you preferred. The view was outstanding. Service wasn't all that great. Our server was not very attentive. She didn't seem to know very well what she was doing. We didn't want to go on the observation deck after dining but they told us it was an additional $12 to go upstairs. We really didn't think it was worth it just been another $24 just to go up the stairway. It would probably be a better idea if they would allow access to their dining guests. I believe the cost was $18 for gas and $12 for dining guests.
It is what it is.
I believe if I live there I would dine there much more often if the deck was open to dinars. Otherwise it's one of those things if you've done it once you probably don't need to do it again.

Absolutely breathtaking views of the city skyline from this park. A serene oasis amidst the urban hustle, perfect for a peaceful stroll or enjoying a picnic with loved ones. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a refreshing escape from the city bustle.
