A great way to learn about San Antonio is to take a barge ride. You'll see and hear about many historic places while touring the Riverwalk from a duck's perspective. Groups can also arrange to be served dinner on the trip.
Do you remember riding the Brackenridge Eagle as a child? Your kids will remember riding the SA Zoo train, too. It only costs a couple of dollars. What are you waiting for?
