Fantastic experience! I highly recommend The Night at the Museum Tour!!! Even if youve been through the museum during the day, do the night tour! The reenactors have extensive knowledge and were super informative. We had a GREAT time and will go again next time were in San Antonio!

Pretty neat place to see. Very informative. Learned some details about the Alamo battle that I never knew. Sort of pricey. My wife and I both enjoyed it. At the end, some employees dress up and help you escape from the night of the Alamo attack. It was fun.

My 6 and 4 year olds now have a good understanding of what happened during those 13 days. I was able to explain the different styles of guns, swords and knives to the kids. They loved the iPod stories and actors. Well done.The Night at the Museum program is very well done. Great banter with the characters and lots of information. Dont miss adding this to your trip

The Alamo in San Antonio. The Comal River floating in New Braunfels. The National Monument to our Forefathers and Patriot Guard Flag Captain Plaque.

This place is Amazing!!!! I highly recommend going with your family. Its truly a historical experience.

Went here today and website said opens at noon. When it wasnt opened I called the number on the website and was told it is permanently closed! Need to take down the site and put a sign up at the entrance! Disappointed as it sounded like a wonderful exhibit.

Things I should have learned in history class!!! (Im a native Texan)This place was amazing. We went on a Wed at noon. Maybe a total of 12 of us in the whole placeI took lots of pictures but I wont ruin it, Ill let you discover them for yourself. =)

I Went Today With My ITT Class Seminar Here At Lackland AFB.! Everyone Including The Manager Joel Was Super Awesome, I Hope To Come Back Again SOON.

I was really impressed with all of the things they had on display and the story they told. If you are into Texas history from its Origins as the Nation of Texas this is very interesting. They had Santa Annas uniform, and the sword that he surrendered to Sam Houston at San Jacinto. It was a very interesting display. It was nice that they also showed that the tejanos were very instrumental in the Texas Revolution from Mexico. Tejanos where the Mexicans that has lived in Texas, some for Generations by the time of the Texas Revolution from Mexico. My only disappointment was that I was hoping to see a very big diorama showing the Battle of the Alamo. I had talked to the person that made the diorama about a year-and-a-half ago and was expecting it to be in the mall because it was too big to fit on the Alamo grounds. I was told the exhibition that they showed, for the Battle of Texas was supposed to be on the first floor, when they moved it to the basement they could not get the diorama down to it. I hope somebody steps up and gets them the room on the first floor to display that diorama. It too would be really worth seeing.

This should be a free museum. The artifacts are kind of cool that displays were very lame. Think the best part was the and. As someone else said theres nothing immersive or interactive about it. Its way overpriced. The staff is very friendly And the gift shop is a typical gift shop. Dont take young kids thry will be bored to death.

This is a MUST SEE in San Antonio. It was absolutely amazing and everyone who worked there were so friendly and helpful. We also did their Night at the Museum and it was my favorite thing we did while in San Antonio. It was so interesting and informative. And when my daughter got scared at the end and was outside crying all of the actors and actress came out to personally check on her.

Quite contrary to what is implied on the website and marketing materials, this place is simply a self-guided museum. There is no show, no performers, nothing exciting. There is no experience. Granted its full of interesting history and artifacts, but its in the basement of a mall, dead, quiet, isolated, no staff, and nothing to do but slowly wander an empty museum setting.

Great museum. We went during the day and saw all the artifacts and city a greater understanding of the Alamo add its importance to Texas history. We went to the Night at the Musuem as well. Loved the individual monologues from the actors. It gave us a great experience and I highly recommend both excursions.

We attended the “Night at the Museum”. Not only was it entertaining, but it was highly educational as well. This was the highlight of our trip, according to our 7 year-old daughter. The price was very reasonable and my husband and I especially loved viewing the original artifacts on display. The staff was friendly and well-informed and the performance was great! We plan to attend the daytime version on our next trip. I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to San Antonio!

Best museum in the area. Make time to walk through this exhibit. You wont be disappointed. Fantastic artifacts and well written descriptions.

This was so much fun, I would also recommend the night at the museum tour too.

I am working towards my Masters degree for teaching history. This experience, and others like them, really provide an opportunity to place yourself into the events and provide a 1st person perception to history. I will certainly draw from this experience in my class!

So much fun. So much more than just a simple bar. I will say that the museum was a little pricey.

A great little walk through with lots of history!

The people who reenact the history really know it and can teach you alot.they can answer any and all questions.lots to see very fun my son loved it

Our family really enjoyed this place. The history and artifacts are amazing. The only reason I rated it four stars instead of five stars is because, even though you purchase tickets, you have to pay an extra five dollars to get the audio tour and make sure you have headphones. Otherwise, it wont let you listen to it and youve wasted $4.99 (which we did). Without the audio tour get ready to read. Without reading the informational posts on the walls, I could see someone saying it wasnt worth the cost. There is SO much neat information if your willing to take the time and read it. We went here through purchasing a pogo pass. I would be willing to go again for $40 for our family of four vs what it would cost right now ($68). The almost $20 an adult regular price is just a little too much. I think if they lowered the price to even $8 for a child and $15 for adults during the off season they would get a lot more traffic. Now, with all that in mind, our family really did enjoy this place. It made the Alamo real to our girls (ages 6 & 8).

Too much walking for the info you get. I thought it would be like a movie or something. It was just a long series of rooms containing information about the Alamo and some artfacts. There was a video at the end but it was just about Texas overall. If you really are into Alamo stuff you will probably like the exhibit but I think most people would be better off saving their time and money.

Really excellent museum about the Alamo and the forming of Texas independence. The whole family enjoyed it. Our only disappointment was the lack of hands-on/re-enactment that we expected based on the website.

My wife and I did the Night at the Museum after hours tour. This was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this for a couple or family looking for something to do as well as learn a bit of history.

New since we were here in 2016. We visited the Alamo but there is so much to that story. This experience gave us a better understanding of why US folks were here in the first place. Also, why there was fighting between those in Texas and Santa Anna. Lots of original, personal belongings of Houston, Santa Anna, etc. Worth the visit. And the bonus, it is all indoors!

We did the “Night at the Museum” tour. It was just our family of 4 and the night watchman. Excellent tour and the massive amount of artifacts is unbelievable. We highly recommend the night tour because the museum really comes alive. The only issue we faced was trying to figure out how to enter the building from Commerce street. The brochure only says the night tour is on Saturday night. Make sure to call and check because we did the tour on a Monday night.

The artifacts are great most are in restoration

Closed at the moment.

Excellent re-enactment of the Alamo battle that sensitizes people to the common and uncommon actors of the battle. The night show is the best and starts around 6:30. Takes you around the museum in dark where the heroes emerge from dark and narrate what happened. You finally emerge through a staging of the war as a participant yourself. Don’t leave Alamo without seeing this—makes your experience complete. Very close to the riverside walk and The Alamo

Some great painting...

The museum is interesting to walk through and read all about the history of the people at the Alamo. The five stars however are for the Night at the Museum show that they do every Saturday night. They have a night guard walk you through the museum as various characters come to life to tell you their stories. It concludes with having to run through replica rooms of the Alamo as reinacters of the soldiers are invading. It was a really fun experience and the highlight of our San Antonio trip.

It was ok. I would not recommend to others not much there. Lady at register was kind of rude when I told her I was not interested in the Night at the Museum thing and said it was her job to tell us about it. The only part my family enjoyed was pulling the cannon. Find something else to do around there.

Fun night at the museum experience. The friendly actors seem like they really enjoy what they do.

It was really awesome!! I preferred it over the Alamo. I wish would couldve made it back for the Night at the Museum Show.

Wonderful museum with lots of amazing artifacts: Santa Annas uniform, knives, guns, portraits of the famous defenders and info about the not so famous Tejano defenders. Fun little interactive demo at the end.

We got a Groupon for here and although a bit tough to find, once we did... what a treat. Great history, artifacts, care in putting together the exhibits, etc. We really enjoyed our walk through the museum, reading most all the exhibits and enjoying ourselves. We just felt bad more people werent there. It really is a great view on the history of Texas and the Alamo too.

I am new to the area & we went with my mom who was visiting, we had a great time. We went late in the afternoon so we were not able to take our time but we still enjoyed it.

My adult daughter and I visited this museum and it was fantastic! For us being older, Im sure people got a kick out of watching us try to pull the cannon up a slant, or draw a line in the sand, or any of the other fascinating hands on activities offered. Wonderful displays and artifacts. We did a self-walking tour and the ticket employees were very nice and helpful. It was a FUN discovery and we highly recommend it, especially to families with children. We are planning another trip with a son and are going to visit again!

You got to do the night at the museum, they do a great job .

This place is an experience you have to check out for yourself. Its just steps away from the Alamo. Check out the displays and at the end you will feel apart of the Texas History.

This place is great! Definitely a hidden gem!!

We really enjoyed this exhibit. It was recommended to us and we were glad it was. It was a good break from the heat as well.

If you are interested in American history & dont understand what actually happened at the Alamo, I recommend it. Also very cool guns, swords & uniforms on display.

A must see exhibit...

Superbly done! A magnificent representation of the true story of Texas. Worth every cent.

Its so well done. And the reinactments re so fun.

Very good. Learned a lot. Great experience. Freedom is NOT free. People gave thier lives so we can enjoy our lives today

Hopefully you will read this for you before any of the others. This was a remarkably disappointing experience. Actually using the word experience is really not appropriate. It is a relatively poorly thought out collection of exhibits. Please dont waste your time or money.

My favorite thing to see. Helps sets the stage for Alamo visit. Great, knowledgeable, and friendly staff work here.

I thought it was going to be a movie. But was a very good walk through museum.

A little hidden treasure under the raucous Rivercenter Mall... If youre a Texan and a patriot, this is the place to go see. I bought a ceramic boot that complemented my wifes interior decor.

Great place to learn more about the Alamo. Must visit if youre a history buff.

A must visit.... fabulous

Not what we expected. Informative but not interactive.

We really enjoyed this museum. A wonderful collection of artificats and helpful and knowledgeable staff.

My 7 year old really enjoyed coming here. A lot of amazing history and artifacts. The reenactment part scared my son at one point and made me laugh as we navigated the battled walls.

I got this as part of a tour package that included the Alamo, mission san Jose, and missionconcepcion. It was cool but Im glad it was came with the tour and I dont drop 20 bucks on the ticket. The real Alamo and the missions are way better and this place just felt so fake. This extraction mainly involves walking through an exhibit showing guns, a bunch of stuff on Santa Anna, and the main 3 Alamo guys. The actors are placed at to sections. One where a soldier answers questions about Santa anna (weak) and the other were you are run through the Alamo as its happening. That part takes maybe 2 to 3 minutes and it kind of reminded me of those haunted houses during Halloween that you walk see a scene and then walk to the next one.

Great experience and history of Texas and those who fought to settle it.

Very nice exhibit

An incredible hidden experience in San Antonio. I happened to stumble upon it and it turned out to be one of things I most enjoyed on my trip. If you are big history fan you will love this with tons of artifacts on display!

This was an excellent collection of artifacts and information. My mother and I highly enjoyed our experience. I would recommend this piece of history to everyone!

Great for history buffs, both the written plaques as well as the interactive ipod made this a unique learning experience. The small screen on the pod can be difficult to use with fat fingers, but all in all well worth it. Save receipt tickets from other things for discounts, go as early as you can.

Very cool exhibit inside Rivercenter Mall. Many Texas artifacts and stories about Texas presented in a unique way.

We did the night at the museum which was awesome. Highly recommend it!

It was great to see families educating their children in history

Small but cool area to visit

It was just ok. Go to the Alamo its free!

Check it out. I hope its still open for all to see. Its even a little interactive. Try pulling the cannon. Its great for visitors and long time Texans.

It was a pretty cool interactive show. It was much better than we expected.

Great play...awsome way to learn a bit more for The Battle For Texas.

Little known treasure in the basement of the mall near the Alamo.

Not as good as it is advertised more suitable for children

Great interactive exhibits, we loved it!

The artifacts were great, but there were no actors or interactive experiences unless you purchased an app. Very disappointed. If not for the artifacts I would rate this place zero stars, not worth twenty dollars per person.

Great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the Night at the Museum Tour.

Had fun on a field trip. Enjoyed the interactive battle experience.

This was the biggest rip off my family has ever encountered on a vacation. There was nothing interactive or immersive about the Experience. We walked through an empty exhibit where there were come artifacts in cases, uniforms and mannequins dressed like Bowie, Travis and Crockett but no actors or enactments at all an a slide/movie wall that was an advertisement for Texas but not educational at all. I would give it minus stars if I could. The real Alamo is right around the corner, a much better experience and its free! At $20 a head dont waste your money. I have no idea how this got a rating of 4.7.

Entertaining and informative. Enjoyed it very much!

Absolutely best fun a family can have and still learn

Great place to go and experience the Alamo not at the Alamo! Fun and reasonably priced!

Great way to remember the history of the past. Great exhibits.

Went on a field trip all the kids enjoyed their visit.

Love it! ask for the night at the museum experience!!!

Information at a quiet pace

Good military rates, wonderful artifiacts. Bout an hour or so depending on how long you look at each exhibit. Would reccommend to anyone that enjoys history. Its no wonder why Texans are so patroitic towards their state or country depending on whom you ask. Polite, energetic, dedicated, passoniate staff. I was asked twice if there were any questions that I had which sparked into a whole new lesson about the topic. It was almost as though it was a guided tour. This place is great!

Awesome experience! Informative and fun.

Mixed feelings on this. I just went to a museum for $8, and could have spent a half of a day there if I had the time. I went in to this expecting much more, as alluded to in the hand-out, and I saw people with kids cruise through it in maybe 15-20 minutes, which if you are the type who doesnt like to stop to read the fine print, it would very boring. I had to go slow to try to make it worth the twenty bucks. Understand, the artifacts they do have are amazing, (the rooms have artifacts around the walls, and it does have lots of empty space making up their claim for how big it is), but as for the whole package, the make your flag turned out to be a few computer terminals at a desk. If I hadnt been to the Alamo, I wouldnt have had a clue what the cannon on the ramp with the rope tied to it sitting in the middle of the floor was for. (You can pull it up the ramp (on its track) a few feet to the wheel stops to simulate the cannon that was moved into the church ruins. And after the artifacts, there is a walk through simulated Alamo ruins, with noises of battle (kinda) appropriate for all family members, nothing scary. Big gift shop at the end, with lots of merchandise.Lists for the artifacts in display cases are just on one side, often not lit, and small print. If there were more visitors, that would have been more of a problem, with two people trying to see the artifacts, it was a pain. Turned out it was an employee I was trying see around to share a list with, on one of the cases. None of the artifacts are labeled, just numbered, and you have to get very close to the list on the wall next to the case with the small print, to search the numbers for the item you are wondering about, and many of the artifacts arent numbered in order, the numbers on the artifacts are small, impossible to see from standing by the list, and some of the lists arent in order either. You have to walk back and forth trying to figure out which item is which.If you are a history nut, the artifacts they do have, are very nice.

Im from the city of the Alamo, but returning home after years of being gone was like yep. The lines was long so the wait time was normal, and the guide know about the history

Had a terrific time at A Night at the Museum

Really good place to learn about the history of the Alamo.

Well worth going to the after dark museum

Audio walk not good kept locking up. but was still informing

Nice museum. Pricey, but worth it.

Not much to learn or see

Did not attend. But look like it would be ok

Its hands on love it

Nice to get away and see the scenery

Very fun and informative. The actors were awesome.

Great place to visit to learn more about Texas history

Great historical experience with live reenactment.
