One of Will’s picks to see on this trip was the Alamo. This kid loves history.
It was in the downtown area, not far from the River Walk. We walked between the two quite easily (it was less than 10 minutes, depending on where you were on the River Walk).
It was really neat to see. They did a really nice job with historical information signs and diagrams. There’s a gorgeous, huge, oak tree in the courtyard. (Ben’s favorite thing was the “historical” gift shop.)
Due to Covid, there was a limited amount of people allowed in the church area of the Alamo. Tickets were free, but they were sold out the day we were there. We do plan on going back once we can get tickets.

VISITOR NOTE: The postcards in the Alamo gift shop were $1.99 each. The shop across the street and the San Antonio Visitor Center had them for about $0.35/each.
I look forward to when you go back and have tickets to visit the inside of the church. I also liked that old oak tree, thank you for posting the video.
We went back tonight and saw it. It was interesting, but they didn’t allow pictures or video. It was more informational and reading as the inside was stripped bare.
