San Antonio Botanical Garden

Any garden is more than welcome in large metropolitan cities of the size of San Antonio.

As i wrote in other reviews, San Antonio is probably the top tourist-friendly city in Texas. Great natural getaways within the city. One of these places you should certainly visit while in San Antonio is the Botanical Garden.

Great for people of all ages and a great place for kids to get in touch with nature. Great variety of plants and flowers from all over the world, with the Texas plants being specially highlighted. The glass houses are really artistic and the staff is friendly and well trained. You will also have the opportunity to stare at many birds that feed from the trees and plants! Ideal place to connect with the plant world !

In case you would like to combine your visit to the gardens with a meal, there is a very nice restaurant, but be aware that it is closed on Mondays. The only negative thing is that not all plants are adequately described.

A must see if visiting San Antonio. Lots of varieties of natural spaces.

We went here on Christmas Eve and paid extra for the VIP parking because we don’t know the San Antonio area. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. We were expecting much more than they delivered. Mostly the whole walk is just spotlights on the trees/plants. There were 3 actual light displays that were really great, the rest just mediocre. I’ve been to the Columbus Ohio Zoo which had way way better displays than this place for less money. The hype was definitely better than the reality.
