It has been at least a year and a half since I’ve been in this area! COVID-19 really did change my whereabouts; however, I made time to walk the Tower of Americas and area. Not many people so the timing was great! Masks were definitely used. The weather was beautiful and just an absolute perfect day to take pictures with my macro lens!

The place has awesome view of the city. There are two decks one is the inner deck and then the outer deck. Inner deck is fully enclosed but the outer deck is not fully enclosed so the winds will hit you so wear a jacket or something. They have 4d & 3d shows running these are like short 10 min movies so dont forget to attend. They have the usual other attractions like game centers and gift shops. But do attend during dusk time so that you can view the sunset, city during daytime and then the best part is seeing the city lights.

One of the best experiences in San Antonio that you shouldn’t miss. The Chart house serves some delightful sea food and also has good vegetarian options.The observation deck is magnificent and the view is perfect.

This restaurant offers amazing view. Gives you a tour around downtown while having your fantastic meals. Service is excellent. Food exceeds my expectations. Absolutely love it! Come and make your reservations and you won’t be disappointed.

The fountains surrounding the tower cool the area and fill the garden with relaxing white noise that takes you away from the bus of the city. The make beautiful photo spots. The tower restaurant is a fun experience. The sunset is stunning, the service is attentive and efficient. Its a Landrys establishment so the food is somewhat above average and the prices are high. Its definitely worth a special night out.

A very challenging climb by stairs. If they ever again hold a race here again, it is definitely a must do to check off on your bucket list.

I dont know how they get reservations, cant get them to answer the phone or return messages. That right there is enough of a turn off to want to even bother going. Its all about customer service and creating a memorable experience. Starting off like that i cant imagine what the rest wouldve been like. We got some good bonuses and wanted to go there to celebrate. There was 10 of us wouldve been a good amount spent esp in liquor as a few really like to indulge. Well as many times as this place changes owners or occupants. Well wait til someone comes in with skills.

The staff here was incredibly friendly. When we told them it was our first time being there they gave us a romantic booth that looked out towards the windows so we were able to enjoy such a breathtaking view. Its was very affordable to dine here. The food was beyond amazing as well as the drinks.

Love the view and the experience! Food was good, but not worth the $180, plus $30 tip (service was good), and $15 parking. If youre going out on a date and want to impress, then this place is good. A family dinner, not so much. Other than that, the restaurant and the staff are REALLY nice and welcoming. The theater is a nice little place to visit after dinner. The outside of the building is clean and the water fountains around make it extra relaxing.

This was pretty cool. I went up to the top of the tower with my lady friend and we both enjoyed the experience although we only went to the observation deck (not to restaurant or bar). Definitely worth checking out for the first-timer.

This was an awesome experience!! I am a little afraid of heights so after the feeling of about to puke went away from going so high, I enjoyed it. I would definitely go back.

The Tower of the Americas was such a great experience and the best place to be in San Antonio during sunset. You can watch the city skyline turn orange, then watch them light up afterwards when it gets dark. Not too much you can do upstairs, but it is definitely worth the view. We came from the Riverwalk, which was also a peaceful stroll before going up the tower. They only use one elevator, so recommend you arrive at least 30 minutes early. The 4D short film “Rio” was quite random though...

My wife and I enjoyed our 15th year anniversary here. I will say I was very skeptical about the food and prices but for our anniversary it was nice. The amount of food for the price was skimpy but the waitress, servers and staff we interacted with were friendly attentive to our needs and overall very good. I would recommend to visit for the view alone. If you are going for a special occasion I recommend going when the sun setting for the view because its priceless.....!

Awesome havent had an experience like that food was great the tower actually moves in a circle so you can see the whole city service was awesome overall it was magically and we are going back again!!!

This is a great spot to take kids. Its a great spot for anyone really. Theres a lot of history at this building. since social distancing guidelines are in place it will take you quite a while to get to the observation deck. It will take you twice as long to get to the restaurant. Currently there are only six people allowed in the elevator. please plan accordingly and have a great time. I highly recommend seeing this city gem.

Its 2020. TotA just opened...AT FULL PRICE. Again, its 2020! Were all out here struggling, but trying to keep our local economy going. $8 to park $15.70 pp. (X2) ...$40 for 2 people for entertainment is pricey 2020-Pandemic.P.S...nothing was open at 4:30 and the signs say: Open at 4:00. No Coffee Either.Thanks to the Wonderful Strangers who offered to take our photo! Spending all we make, making memories!

Don’t waste your money dining here. If you want the view, go to the observation deck. We sat at the bar/lounge. I ordered a margarita and it tasted like flat ranch water. Absolutely no flavor. I sent it back and ordered a Manhattan - how could a bartender mess that up? They brought it in a martini glass... strange. Tasted decent but it was $17 a drink! Then the appetizer, spinach and artichoke dip, tasted like they didn’t drain the water out of the spinach and it was watery. It was so bland and had zero flavor! Then we ordered the Callahan cut prime rib. 18 ounces. Great cut of a steak and super tender but ZERO flavor. I don’t think they even put salt on it. They still charged me for the margarita even though I sent it back. I had to get it taken off. For $140 meal, I was expecting so much more. Oh did I mention, the wild life exhibit? There was a BAT flying inside the dining area. Quite entertaining watching it do laps around the restaurant and flying directly over us making us duck for cover.We will not be returning.

The service was ok our waiter was very attentive. However, we go for the food dont we? I ordered the king crab. Its about a 60 dollar plate. 56 bucks to be exact.. I got a baked potato with it. The king crab was sub par. It was very small for king crab. Do not expect any seasoning. I could have made for a better presentation in my own kitchen. My husband got the steak it was verrry salty. Thank god for the good service and view cause thats what your paying for I guess.

Nice place to walk, and places to sit beautiful waterfalls for pictures!

The view is great, but we were not very pleased with one of the employees. Specifically bought wrist bands to view the sunset, however, we waited a very long time in line for the elevators and missed it! Come to find out the elevator opens on both sides, but the elevator operater was only opening one side. We finally got in line for the other door of the SAME elevator and were able to get on. After telling the operator we were upset we missed the sunset, he claimed that we must have turned out back on the elevator doors and didnt see them open! My advice is go over 30 minutes before the sunset or you will miss it.

Ive lived all my life here in San Antonio and the Tower of Americas keeps being my favorite place to go to decade after decade. This was the place I chose to go celebrate my 51st Birthday on 9-5-20 and enjoyed every little minute of it! You will be amazed from the moment you go up! So come by and experience it all. You will love it as i do since I was a tot!

It was a nice scenic view of the sunset. However, its not much of a cityscape and it gets super windy up there. The glass is all smudged and there is no where to sit.

Had an amazing date night... food was excellent and the observation deck was beautiful. Really enjoyed seeing people out there enjoying themselves and being normal.

The view of San Antonio at night was great. Those with fear of heights may not be comfortable looking out over the city on the way up or down in the elevator. Same with the observation deck outside.

For sure this is one of the most beautiful and iconic places to visit in San Antonio. On the website you can find all the information about the place and the amenities offered here. I think the best hour to go up there is between 7-8pm because you can enjoy the views during daylight and at night, both views are stunning, on the top of the tower winds are usually very strong. At the base of the tower there is a beautiful garden with fountains and waterfalls which is very nice and enjoyable. The restaurant located on the top is rotating so you will be able to enjoy the views of the city from all the possible angles. Really nice place. I loved it. 5/5 ️️️️️

Lines were short, covid compliant, great weather. Only downfall was we thought the employees may have forgotten about us, we waited over 30 minutes with only one other family there. Would go back!

A little pricey at the Chart House, but perfect for romantic date nights! Outlook the city with a gentle rotation. It was a very cool experience.

Went there to celebrate my birthday, reserved the table in advance. When we came over, they walked us to the table I didn’t like, I wanted to be by the window, they made out of it a big deal. Why they didn’t ask me where I want to be seated when I reserved? Service is very poor, my water glass was empty for a while, when they brought food and put it on out table, it slided down on my husband’s white pants, but the waiter just left without saying anything. Mess. Restaurant is rotation around and I got to see lots of dust around. And it’s during Corona time. They need to do better cleaning. Happy hour wasn’t available at the restaurant, you had to go upstairs to order it or something... but it is on their menu and online. Quality of food is ok, maybe 3 stars, but not fine dining at all

As a Texas Historian what a Great Place to Go and take the Kiddos. Definitely a must Go if you in town. I Highly recommend a seat down and eat at the Restaurant as well. (Thank me Later)What a Great History Lesson will be given once you make to the top.

Loved the visit. They have the BEST hours. Costs about $15. Loved the pre-recorded information. Loved that they have a gift shop. Loved the theater that comes with the ticketed price. Loved that the lounge is open to ALL and overlooks San Antonio. Love that they have payable telescopes. Loved that there is a little ice cream shop at the bottom. They also have a beautiful waterfall outside. Today was too hot inside though - I wish they had the A/C on max.

Didnt venture to the tower top. But on ground level, there were lots to see and hear! The water splashing and cascading downward, provided a nice cool breeze. There were other nearby buildings that were worthy and have been included with this group of photos.

First restaurant outing since covid re-opening of dining in. It was quiet and we were adequately spaced from others. So much so, it felt cozy and romantic. Reduced staff did make table-side attention less than ideal but overall good experience

Great views! Awesome history. Beautiful sunsets. Definitely spend some time there and take it all in.

Stopped by with my spouse and enjoyed an early dinner at the Chart House. I completely enjoyed the view and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was also awesome ! I would definitely recommend a visit here especially if you are from out of town.

Whether youre on the observation deck or eating at the Chart House, the view is great. The lines were short and COVID compliant. Worth the visit.

Wonderful, great services, and beautiful moments whit the family.

Ah it’s nice and fun going up. Go on a clear day and you can see far away. It’s crazy going up, you almost feel like it’s your turn to be stuck, which has happened. Parking can be an issue.

Loved the views from up top. It was very windy up top and you can feel the height. Elevator right is also very beautiful. It was very busy when we went but it was worth it. Though their photographer could do a better job and may be they should offer a better deal on those photos.

The staff at the 601 Bar are excellent! Troy was attentive and personable. We had the spinach artichoke dip and the shrimp & crab fondue. LOVED the fondue and the accompanying crostini was perfect.

My aunt who lives in San Antonio recommended we visit this local attraction and I am so pleased we did!! The landscape and feel of the attraction was just what we needed for the day. Even though I am so afraid of heights, the ride up was smooth and provided a breathtaking view of the city. We went around sun set so the lighting and the transition from evening to night was beautiful.Once at the top, we enjoyed a cocktail and appetizers as a night cap before continuing the evening. We enjoyed shrimp cocktail that was delightful and fresh!

Very nice resturant at the top. It rotates while you eat. It is pricey for sure but it tastes good.

Wish the menu was a little bigger....me and the teens loved what we ordered so we were lucky. Had to wear a mask or we would not be able to come in thank GOD I had some in car ! I only did drive 5hours All tasted delicious. We sat by the window and it was super fantastic.loved the views. There is parking for $11 or else u would have to walk a lil distance. Casual dressed. $50 per head just for entree

For the price you pay to go up to the observation level you would expect more but it is a great view of great San Antonio. Beautiful at night. My husbands first time and he enjoyed the view.

Id pick zero stars if I could. Our family plus at least 30 other people got stuck up on the observation deck because no one ever came up on the elevator to get us. The button was pushed numerous times but no response. Theres no working phone number to reach anyone, theres no email to reach anyone. Very poor customer service, and horrible if there was a medical emergency. Luckily the one pregnant lady was okay. You also need to figure out your social media/website information. Lady at the front, ticket booth, said you havent had someone update your website since , COVID, which is very unprofessional, and not very businesslike for a business such as big as this. Id really like to hear back from someone able to tell me what steps are being taken to make this a better experience for others. Youve got people coming from all over the state, country, and World to see this, and youre not having a very good showing this weekend.

The tower offers a Starbucks cafe at the base, theater, restaurant, viewing deck of the city and some great historical information. We sipped some delicious coffee/tea at the base of the tower before going up to the viewing deck. There is a lovely park area for kids to run around right there on site. This is walkable to the Riverwalk as well.

Lovely place. Reminds me of the CN Tower in Canada. If I had known about the reservations I would e reserved for the “mover tables” but still worth it at the bar.

I had an amazing date night here with my bf. Food was great!

We had went and ate in the Chart House it was so neat to b able to set by the window as it rotates ..food is perfect ...higher price but u get what u pay for

It is a very beautiful place, with an impressive view of the city. And the food in the restaurant was very good.

Neat that you get to see the city, not worth what they make you pay for. You pay 11 dollars to park and then 15 to go up. If you have a large group it can get expensive just to go “oooh aaahhh” at a city. The good thing is, the wristband you get is good for all day

Excellent views, elevator broke on way up and on way down doors wouldn’t close so we had to wait to go down for a while. Then time was 9:30 when we got back down and was looking to buy souvenirs and was CLOSED! The girl said sorry we are closed for the night. I said I thought it was at 10, she said no we close early on Saturday.... poor customer service and left without buying anything.

Have to go take the kids have water fall if they want to get wet.And very nice park beautiful garden .

San Antonio - it was a pleasure to see you from the top of the towers. The tower of America’s was of course, a show stopper and a necessary attraction if visiting San Antonio. This attraction doesn’t take a lot of time to do, so don’t plan to be there for hours. It’s definitely a quick, easy elevator ride up to the top. Unless you decide to eat at the restaurant (we didn’t venture in). The movie was okay but more geared to kids. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The snack bar/ coffee bar was overpriced. The outside grounds were kept in immaculate condition and a beautiful addition !

This place is an amazing site seeing location to visit. They have all noce water fountian around the tower, sevral areas to take nice pictures, movie theatre inside, and souvinier shop store inside. They have a restuarant at the top but you have to call and reserve for that. Pleas like and Share my pics and comment. #JasonTrueRating

Went to celebrate my daughters first dance recital with family and we could not have picked a better place. The views were just stunning. Everytime you looked up it was a different part of the city with different lighting as the sun sets. The food was great, our waitress was beyond amazing! She was so sweet and patient with our 6 year old. Even brought her out a card signed by the staff with congratulations and an ice cream just for her. Cant wait to go back again.

Never in my life had I had such horrible service ... first time here and the gals here were super rude. Absolutely rude, you cannot ask a question without getting an attitude. Never again. First night out in San Antonio and the vibe sucks .... hoping our next stop makea thw teip out here worth it. ....we were at the bar not the restaurant.

Where do I start, as soon as we walked into the restaurant section the service was outstanding . The gentlemen in the elevator named Edward and Jacob were friendly and accommodating . They helped answer questions and made our visit worthwhile. The homemade ice cream in the restaurant is one of the best Ihave tried. After the restaurant we went to the observation deck and saw amazing views. Highly recommend

It was cheap to get in. And an overall beautiful experience. We only had the spinach and artichoke dip which was really good. We were like the only ones viewing in the outlook area so it was nice not to be packed. The people were very nice. Overall great experience. Thank you all

Enjoyable and worth it! I recommend it. Great views and great historical information.

I live near this and got in it, at that point there is no choosing or deciding, its 200x better than trampoline parks so you should go visit it its one of the best places on San Antonio.

I rode the elevator to the top and took pictures. It was awesome.

It is a place to just walk around and enjoy some good ole fashion smiles.. :)

Great dining and casual viewing. If you want to eat a fine diner on the rotating platform, you have to make reservations in advance.

A supremely wonderful dinner with excellent service and an incomparable view!!! We are two very happy customers.

Experience the awesome view of San Antonio city on the top of Tower of Americas.It has a 360 view of the view until the far end and the sunset view is so beautiful.You need to purchase ticket in the ground and they have an photo-op before you climb the elevator.It has a dine-in restaurant at top of the tower of America. Best choice for an family get together situations

Overpriced from parking to viewing. Kids are over 11 bucks each from 4 on up military is over 12, for what? A simple walk around with nothing else. Family of 4 with parking over 60 bucks. Come on.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. This is the second time we have been here and both times have been disastrous. The first experience included a lost reservation and a failed attempt at a steak dinner once we proved we had a reservation. By the way this was our anniversary back in December. This experience included a lost vip slot which was suppose to include a desert and menus celebrating my husbands birthday. The dinner included no drinks for the kids for over and hour and steaks that comprised of 90% RAW fat. It was inedible and just plain gross. This was there 46 dollar herb crusted prime rib. Service was terrible and the manager stated they do not accommodate anything special for vip’s even though this is an add on. The only thing going for the place was the view which is absolutely amazing ! I would recommend going during happy hour and sitting at the bar there are cheaper drinks and apps. If you sit downstairs they do not honor the happy hour specials. Between parking cost and the food cost this is not a family friendly place and the food is not worth it !

Family fun cute gift shops and very clean as well definitely a nice spot to see

Loved it great place to have dinner n birthday n a proposal

Great location to visit in downtown San Antonio. Walking distance from many hotels in the area. They have this 4D theater that is very fun and is included in your entrance ticket. Once you get to the Observation Deck, you will be able to see beautiful views of downtown San Antonio. For the price, it was a great experience!

A sheer focal point of San Antonio doesnt even begin to cover what the tower really means. Such an iconic treasure to have in our city. I gravitate to it every chance I get. Always make it a point to go to the observation deck, it never gets old. A definite must see attraction. Look up Hemisfair 68, you will not be disappointed.

Come back after 2 years. Still love the foods and the people here

Been going here since I was a kid, love the observation deck.

Its was amazing, has awesome views,4D movie, restaurant & bar. A must see.

Great drinks, friendly staff and tasty food. Plus awesome views

Great food and an awesome view! Our server Nick was polite and very helpful with menu selections. Will definitely be back with a bigger appetite to try and make it to dessert next time.

Been to San Antonio so many times and we had never made the time to go to the tower. Worth the sunset.

It’s nice to see the city from above, but this is a dated exhibit. They tried with the 4D movie, but their camera/screen needs some updating. They have information to read on the observation level, but it doesn’t grab your attention. The water features below were beautiful. If you have never done a big tower do it. If you already have skip it.

Gorgeous views, but cheesy as it sounds they have a Zoltar fortune machine and I was soo excited about it

Very interesting, clean, nice people, good for the kids, the outside area is also very nice. At night, once the lights turn on, its nice to watch.

The view was exceptional. The food was very good but for the amount of money you pay, you shouldnt leave still being hungry. Put more food on the plate. Make the portions bigger.

Very nice place. Great food and atmosphere. Went in for a 5 year anniversary and was treated so great. We got hand written cards, a souvenir menu tied and they wrote happy anniversary on our dessert. Beautiful view. Recommend it

$12 parking (if you plan ahead you can purchase a Groupon for discounted price). It was no charge to go up the elevator to the observatory deck. Unique photographs of San Antonio’s downtown history. There is a restaurant and gift shop. A nice little experience to knock off your San Antonio bucket list.

I like Hemisfair park and the area around the tower. I’ve been there many times with my family and we always enjoy it. However, regarding the tower I could not say the same. I bought a ticket and I was excited to go to “4D theatre” with my son. It wasn’t even 3D! They just give you those glasses to see better but it was only one dimension. The observation deck was ok but not very fascinating that I would do it again :/

Terrible place! Every employee is rude as hell. So in case you didnt know, parking is $11, adults are charged $14.50 to go to the observation deck, $11.50 per child. Dont you dare ask questions cause the elevator attendant will get annoyed. Oh and you get a 4D experience which is closed on the weekends, this place was really a waste of time and money.

It was cool. Great views of the city. Plenty of places to take pics and make new memories.

Only visited the observation deck and the 4d movie which was only 3d. Over priced for my taste.

The food was awesome and the views are amazing, unfortunately our service was extremely lacking. Even much less nice restaurants provide much faster service, and we were thoroughly disappointed with how long it took to get our drinks refilled, our drinks in the first place, and overall ordering. Wow the servers were nice, we never felt prioritized. Again beautiful views, just lacking service.

Really liked visiting this place. I only gave them 4 stars cause the audio recordings were not working and also there was onlu one elevator working so the lines to go up/down were long. Other then that we loved the 4D experience before going up. The view is incredible. I find it expensive to pay $15 for parking and other $15 each for going up. Expect to spend 1 hr the least. My kids loved that they had games and bounces at the entrance. The cafe downstairs was very good. They have everything and service is great.

We didnt eat here but we did go up to see the view. If you dont mind the long wait for the elevators, the view is beautiful day or night. We also attended Free Concert Friday and had some fun.

Make sure to visit this wonderful place. What an awesome place to visit

Food is great, service was ok, could have been much better.

Very beautiful view of San Antonio and great history inside too!

Good drinks food and amazing view

We had reservation at 7:30 on June 5 and got seated fairly quickly however it took about 30 min just to order our drinks and appetizers. Because the wait was so long we went ahead and ordered our food one time. The appetizers took about 30 minutes to come out however we did not receive our entree until almost 10pm. I called the manager to ask her why the food was taking so long. She seemed like she was bothered but said she would check on it and never returned. The food came out shortly after and was cold.I thought this place was upscale and would live up to its name. The waitress was not friendly and never checked up on us!I expected more and was sadly disappointedSincerely,Wife of an executive chef!

We had a great time here. It is within walking distance to many of the hotels in the area. The area was safe to walk around even at night. The price is reasonable and includes the observation deck and the 4D theater. We enjoyed the 4D theater a lot. Great experience. The views from the top are very nice. There was no line or wait when we visited.

It was really nice. We got the groupon for it, so it was a good deal. It also includes the theater ride thing which we, unfortunately, didnt have time to do. Obviously, its a must if visiting the area.

Food was perfect. Employees were awesome too.

Go around 630, you will make it just before sunset. Youll get to see it during the day, sunset and night all within the span of 1hr or less

Best time of my life ,, w/ my grandson for the first time we enjoyed a 15 min 3-D clip awesome
