2 Best Sights in San Antonio, Texas

Step into this lovely, lush, flowering oasis within Brackenridge Park that was originally a rock quarry. A man-made 60-foot waterfall is the focus, along with beautiful rock bridges and walkways over and around lily ponds with hundreds of koi fish. The entire place is filled with photo ops perfect for Instagram. The Jingu House café at the top of the garden offers a wide variety of teas and light lunch fare. 

Step into 38 acres of formal gardens, wildflower-spangled meadows, native Texas vegetation, fascinating historical structures, and diverse sections designed to educate and delight nature lovers at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Here you can walk on 11 acres of Texas native trails with more than 250 plant species representing three distinct regions of Texas. The stunning centerpiece of the garden is the Lucile Halsell Conservatory, a unique collection of five exhibit rooms. A self-guided tour of the climate-controlled conservatory takes visitors through plants and flowers found in different worldwide environments from the desert to the tropics.

Other highlights include the Zachry Foundation Culinary Garden, which promotes healthy food choices and encourages visitors to participate in planting, harvesting, and preparing fresh fruits and vegetables. The Kumamoto En, a gift from San Antonio sister-city Kumamoto, is a serene, authentic Japanese garden with stone walks and water features. The Family Adventure Garden encourages kids to experience more than a dozen fun spaces to run, climb, and splash.
