San Antonio's Top Attractions and Activities

18 Chill out at San Antonio Botanical Garden

Nature lovers will find much to ooh and aah over at San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Conceived by two women in the 1940s, the botanical garden is a family-friendly attraction with themed green areas, including one for people who are blind.

Pack a picnic and stroll, paint, read, and relax surrounded by flowers, trees, and birds. The odds that you'll spot a bride walking down the aisle are not insignificant, and during the holidays, you may find the gardens festively illuminated.
