You can even take a boat ride on the river if you wish, and the best part of all is that you can experience this for free.  The river walk is a city park so therefore it is public property and they do not charge an entrance fee of any kind.

Shamu

If you are in San Antonio at the right time of the year then you better not miss out on Sea World not only is it one of the best attractions in San Antonio, but it might just be one of the best things to do in Texas.

Sea world in San Antonio is one of only three Sea World location in the USA. This is truly an amazing place for both children and adults. The major part of the park is all the different shows with live animals including, killer whales and dolphins. The most famous of all the shows is the one featuring Shamu, a killer whale.

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking around the park. Also a swimsuit or something that you don’t mind getting wet is highly recommended. Many of the shows have “splash zones.” These are areas where the trainer will have the animals in the show splash the audience. If you want to get into one of these splash zones be sure to get to the show a little early because these tend to be one of the first areas to fill up.

Hours:
Sea World is not open all year long so their schedules can vary quite a bit. See the calendar for specific dates and times.

Admission:
Ticket prices can vary depending on the specific time you are going and whether you buy them online or at the gate. We urge you to visit their website to check ticket prices for yourself.
