Awesome place. We went during the thanksgivings week and it was pretty decorated and looked really nice. Had a nice time around here visited the towerz of America. It had really nice view of the city. Do visit during the evening time so to grab the nicest view around. But beware of some shady people around here as its a tourist location there are lot of people trying to con you for your money. They should make the frequency or number of law officers around the area more so as to keep these people at Bay.

Enjoy a nice brisk walk through Hemisfair park. A free Kids park for the children. Ride up to the tower and get a 360 view of the city or dine at the top of the tower. Moderately priced restaurant. During the day enjoy a coffee or a beverage outside the tower while listening to the water fountain sculptures. My favorite is to take a picture with the angle wings.

Beautiful scenery. My son and his girlfriend took some really cute photos.

Pretty nice park, its very clean and well maintained. Free parking available for your convenience. They have ping pong, lifesize checkers and chess as well as tons of stuff for the kids to play on, my daughter loves this place

This was a fun place to go for a quick date. Walking up there were tons of people on those electric rental scooter things. Weather was nice (November) and during Covid, the staff took good precaution to keep everyone at safe distance with masks on. The 4D quick movies were neat but the glasses seemed broken as the right of both my date and I were darkened when the show started. Either way, we had fun no matter what. The elevator ride to the top of the tower made me get dizzy (which was the point for me. Im afraid of heights but will still tough it out) Theres a bar at the top (I dont drink) so Im sure the observation deck is even more fun after a couple of good stiff drinks.

Parking is only $15. The views are amazing! I loved the park and tower! Will definitely go again with the kids.

Really cool park. There are lots of climbing equipment for the kids and some pretty unique swings including one that can hold 2 toddlers at a time. There are concrete ping pong tables, Foosball tables and corn hole. All in all, ver y unique and fun.

Its breathtaking fun for the kids lots of running space ...beautiful view... we spent the whole day there so much to do and enjoy

Nice place to be to enjoy yourself and relax evwn at the parks. Parking is not free on Tuesdays unless you arrive from 2pm to 3pm before the booth employees get there shhh. So Im told. Liked that the short film movies were included in the purchase of Observatory only. Place has a bar but didnt get to go because it was full. Had a good time

On my most recent trip I found a park attached to this parking lot. Its huge they have a sitting areas, tables and large size play area for kids of all ages.which includes a mini walk climbing area and some good size swings even adults can fit comfortably. This is really nice stop at night for a Romantic walk or take a trip up the tower to check out the view.

Anniversary lunch/dinner and the atmosphere is always amazing. Doesnt matter how many times Ive been on the observation deck, it takes my breathe away every time. The restaurant is very good. Wait staff is always on point and the food is delicious!! Expect nothing but the best!

Its nice but the water before the tower reeks. Too many people not wearing masks. Smh

Quick, simple attraction. This spot is also great at night. Great for a night stroll.

Simply Awesome. Lots to see and do. A must when visiting San Antonio,TX

My birthday 27th October 2020Views r spectacular.DoraJean Momin-TuhelAlways with Mohsin K. Momin.

Nice public space with plenty of seating and a large water display if you dont want to go up the tower.

Perfect place to stretch your legs, breathe in the outdoor air, and enjoy the serenity of the water features.

Excellent customer service on the bottom floor of this magnificent building.. Wall mounted pictures showing different stages of the building.. Gift shop, ticket counter and so much more.. Didnt make it up to the observation deck or the Chart House restaurant.. Will have to do that another day..

One of only several towers in the USA over 700 feet high. Great view of the city and beyond. Nice restaurant at top.

Excellent food and very delightful service! The amazing view really topped it off!

This park has something for everyone. It is beautifully maintained and obviously cared for with love and pride. Its free for anyone to enjoy, its fun, and its a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with family or friends.

My grand kids love to cam to play and have lots fun

The park is much much better then it was when I first had moved to San Antonio. They have done a lot to improve it. There is much to do. Hopefully it will continue to improve. Can be a great park to take kids too. A few things to see like the tower.

Its ok jus went to take pictures of the wings

Beautiful views of the city. Shared a drink and snacks with the family, a great place for a few minutes of relaxing.

Loved it!So peaceful and serene!water fall a little smelly but understandable!

Always luv coming here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are from out of town downtown San Antonio is a tourist spot that has all the excitement. Especially the tower, so beautiful being up there with your loved one enjoying the scenery and food at the restaurant they have at the top. Very good exciting place to go to.

Has some cool slash pads and park for the kiddos along with a set up of checkers, chess and foosball

Pretty neat tower. We ate up in the restaurant at the top and it was pretty decent, a little pricey. You must make a reservation if you want to eat in the dining area that rotates.

Loved the park. Awesome water fountain and walkways. Beautiful statues. It felt so serene over there. Kids enjoyed it too. Watching so many newlyweds makes you feel so hopeful for life. Even in summer it was not very hot to walk around due to so much water around you.

Ive loved this place since a child. It just keeps getting better.

Lots of family activity. Such fun watching people bond even in these sorry times.

Nice evening walk after a tasty meal at the Chart House. Tried a scooter for the first time in our life....fun!

Great view of the city. Parking fees did not match the process online

Been here before and decided to come again. Place had fingerprints everywhere (windows, rails) so they are not cleaning anything with this covid virus. 4th photo can see the smears. Shows were not in 4d so not much fun.

Excellent urban park and green space. Lots for the kids to do at the park and splash pad complete with changing rooms. Its all really clean, plenty of areas in the shade to shelter and various cafes nearby.If your in the city its well worth a visit.

One of my favorite sights here in San Antonio! Enjoyable atmosphere, great photo opps, restrooms, playground, water fountain, water falls, and more....a must see.!

Great views of San Antonio. There wasn’t a huge line and if you’re feeling daring you can even get drinks or dinner at the bars and restaurants at the top. A tad windy but great for pictures, gives you that light breeze through your hair look. Well worth the $15.

Great place for the kids to play in many different ways. There are restrooms a sand box and other play equipment. Good times!

My fiancé chose this place to propose to me. We both love our city San Antonio and its beautiful landmarks #Tower#SanAntonians

Was there before opening and it is very peaceful and get to see the surrounding area in its calm state.

This is one of the coolest bars to date! They charge to go to the sky deck its an aerial view 360ﾟof San Antonio cost $12 to go out but is a calculator and work it.

No wait for the elevator but the views are amazing. Close to downtown to view all the spots at once. Great photo opportunities.

This place is amazing I have not been here for a while but I came with my son it was amazing

Nice place to chill and jus relax

Prices in the gift shop are high. The building doesnt open until noon which isnt great when dealing with tourists. The waterfalls outside are pretty but the homeless population was hanging around and laying on benches.

Its nice to walk around at night time,very beautiful and relaxing!

Great park. My only complaint was there were a lot of older people playing on the swings, etc so the kids couldnt use them. Also, the splash pad wasnt open and it was super hot out.

For $11 you can park till midnight and enjoy all the area has to offer. Wether it’s the giant climbing playground or the splash pad water park, the great thing is it’s all FREE! Depending on the time of year, it gets blazing hot in San Antonio during the summer, you may want to plan your trip accordingly. During the summer they have a free concert every Friday and sometimes the parking price may increase but not bad for enjoying free activities.

This is a beautiful site. I love learning about new things and making memories. I will have to experience the dine in next time. Its amazing, very clean, and the employees where very helpful.

It wasnt crowded but honestly it wasnt worth the 55.00 we paid to see the observation deck. 14.50 a person 13 and up and 11.50 3 and up. We didnt get to eat there because you have to reserve well in advance.

Really miss the old playground but the new one is fine I guess. Lots of things to do down there. Only been once.

Fun time for my birthday. The are working with the COVID-19 stuff, just fine.

Great Kids park relax play games. Have everything for family fun day. Water Pad for you to enjoy and cool off in hot summer days. Lots to do

We went for happy hour which make sure you go early as it gets crowded quickly.

If you want to see surrounding areas it is ok. My husband and I had dinner reservations at 7:30 pm. We got there at 7:15 and rode elevator up and signed in. We did not get seated until 8:40. We ordered salmon w/asparagus along with rolls, and coconut shrimp. Salmon was great but asparagus was too tough to chew on and the dinner rolls were tough as a boot. My shrimp was delicious. We paid 11$ to park and then another 140$ on the meal. I feel cheated out of a good experience.

It was my daughters first visit. She enjoyed the views and the history. Great family time.

It was really packed and the trampoline had urine on it so it smelt like pee on that, but the rest of the park was fun to enjoy.

Had a great time at the Tower!!! Its so pretty down around there.

Park is beautiful and alot to see take your time go in places you think arent shops most are or historic.

Nice area but needs TLC. This area has been neglected. Needs upgrades and cleaning. Very nice trees. Not many people.

I love Hemisfair park! Very updated and clean. Very friendly and there were lots of children their to play with your child or children! I will be back again.

Very interactive and fun. Plenty of shade spots to hang out and chill.

Very nice, with lovely fountains, etc. The Tower of the Americas is worth checking out. We sis not est.at the Charthouse though.

Ive always been a fan of downtown park its always such a lovely area to have walks at will be back there soon

A very relaxing park even though it is located downtown. If you are near the playground, splash pad, sand pit, or ping pong tables, then it can be kind of busy/loud. However, if you walk towards the tower, you can find a quiet bench along the way. There are bathrooms and a station to refill your water bottle. There is usually a band that plays at the base of the tower on Friday nights. Many events take place at this park so it can get crowded at times. The events are usually decorated beautifully, so I would recommend checking at least one out. Huge improvements have been made at Hemisfair and motor scooters are not allowed in the park, which is a plus from me.

This local San Antonio landmark never looses its appeal. Such a wonderful place to just walk and experience a quiet and fulfilling evening.Also a wonderful place to bring your children, the areas surrounding the tower have a bit of something for everyone. The padded play areas and interactive fountains bring joy to the faces of the youngest to the oldest. Worth a visit!

Love coming here. Upgrades were made and it is more beautiful.

This place is incredible. I was really impressed on the peaceful areas.

Coool, a really cool family place!!

I found what I was looking for and it was easy to check out. The only thing was that everyone didnt have masks on and that you had to wait in over 100 degree heat waiting for carts to be wiped off by god only knows who. There was nobody upfront to do that, Im guessing the cart pushers who looked tired as hell. As I was walking out someone said I was being hateful wanting a buggy with only two bags in it. For the facts I was tired and sick as I was evacuating for hurricane laura I stopped to get something to eat and got food poisoning I was hanging on the buggy because I was barely making it. Covid here in San Antonio is really bad because barely anybody here was wearing masks in there. Scary. Come here be careful.

This place is nice to walk after dinner in the tower....

This was a fun place to take our daughter to play at the playground and see the little waterfalls.

Kids play area is cool. As an adult, wish I could join in !

This is one of my favorite parks to being the kiddos they always have fun

Great views. Romantic spot. Happy hour specials

Nice place to ride your bike and eat a paleta.

The City of San Antonio has greatly improved Hemisphere Park in the past couple of years. Fun place for the whole family. Great kiddie park with splash pad, sand box, and jungle gym. Institute of Texan Culture is a nice museum to start the day. Followed by lunch at the Tower with spectacular views. La Villita, the Alamo, and River center mall all within walking distance.

I loved this park! This place was great and fun. Parents, bring towels. The changing rooms was a plus. I especially liked the reclined lawn chairs.

Parking is tough but not too troublesome. 4 year old loved this park. The splash pad was great, the sandbox area he loved. His favorite part though is the trampoline like slide. Definitely a must

Free or not based on what you decide to do. But it is fun for people who like being outside. Arrive prepared either way to be hot, thirsty, hungry, and do a lot of walking mostly on concrete. I did not see any wheelchairs available, a walker will not suffice as a person who needs a walker regardless of age will tire from all the walking. Rent a wheelchair prior to arrival and walk behind it when able then sit when needing to continue. You can get to the Riverwalk from here but I did not go that far therefore I do not know if it is accessible or safe for people physically challenged by stairs or if there are any stairs. But SA has slippery stone steps in many areas. The gift shop has good clearance racks. I bought a fun light Turquoise colored t-shirt for $5. The observation deck is $15 per adult. There is a water area for all, from concrete pillars, to cool down at (not far from the main entrance). There is a cool looking play area for children. There are movies (I think free, if not with a wristband from paying for the observation deck). There are a few electric bikes & scooters. You can take your own bike. You could spend hours here. Take your time, go prepared for being in the heat & sunshine. Parking on-site is $11. There is free parking nearby and other parking options for less than $11 be patient & kind when searching for parking. Icees are $5 (@ the cafe/Starbucks) b/c they only come in a commerative tower shaped container. Enjoy! P. S. Theres a photo in the Tower from the 1880s that says 1980s. Ha!

Water features are awesome. Pricey to go up the tower but great view of San Antonio. Bar staff were super friendly but others not so much. Good.

The place is amazing and the better thing to do to is experience the restaurant. While enjoying the food and drinks the place moves and offer a wonderful view from the whole city. We had great moments there!

Great views and a large area to walk around. Theres lots of statues and other landmark locations to check out. The River Walk shopping and dining area is nearby within walking distance. There pathways in the area are accessible for those with different levels of mobility and theres plenty nice shaded areas to escape the heat on extra sunny days. Good place to take the family for a walk or do some sight seeing with that special someone.

The overall experience was nice. However the observation deck is extremely filthy!!! The glass is disgusting, the concrete should be power washed or something! There is no way that a historical tower shouldnt be immaculate. People are dying. STOP BEING LAZY AND CLEAN UP. ITS NOT BUSY AT ALL!!!!

This really is the center of what is great in San Antonio! There is so much to see and witness just buy walking around. You can also find plenty of different ways of transportation!Everything is close by and you can really pick what you want to do!

Its a very different experience and an original San Antonio experience.There is a restaurant, where you can only go in with reservation.Bexar County residents have 50% discount, but you have to show your ID with Bexar county address.Tower has a Starbucks on the base.In 2019 December, pass was $15.50 per adult. Pass is valid until 10pm, you can leave the premises and come back hours later, maybe at night time to see how far San Antonio city light extend.Parking is $10, but there is a street parking on Cesar Chavez Blvd. about 90¢ for two hours, if you can find a spot, and also if you dont mind walking couple hundred feet.

Kids love it here. Its free. There is a splash pad, changing rooms and bathrooms (not portapotties). They have human size checkers and a full playground thats covered for hot Texas summers. They even have a local snack place next door. Also ping-pong is available too.

Call us tourists but we loved it. Couldnt leave without doing it.

The person running the elevator made us wait over an hour upstairs because supposedly there were too many people for the restaurant. When we asked her what happened, she told us we were not priority and we were laughing in our face.I find that unacceptable, especially since there were old people and no possibility of sitting down.Its not very smart to leave people crammed in a hallway in person during covid times. I will never stay there again and would recommend anyone to go.

Hemisfair Park is such a Beautiful, Peaceful Park. It has everything from walkways, Waterfalls, playground for the kiddos and tables and benches to enjoy the scenery. The iconic 650 ft Tower is literally one of the best features in the Park. It allows you the opportunity to get the panoramic view of the city from the top. Theres also the Mexican Instituto of Cultura on the premises which has a variety of Artwork and its FREE to enter. The theme of the Portraits and Art is changed occasionally to Support and bring awareness to whatever occasion a particular month is celebrating. Hemisfair Park also has some replicas of the Olmec Statues and Mayan Sculptures. Along with bronze statues honoring Mexico. This is a great park to relax on your lunch, have a picnic on the weekend or just to get away from daily schedules. Most of all the rich history and what this Park represents Hemisfair 68 is great to see and get knowledge about it. Theres a gift shop in the Tower of the Americas along with a restaurant to eat atop the Tower. It even has a garden called Yanaguana Garden which dates back to beginning of time when the city was founded. The landscaping makes it a great spot for photo shoots, Graduation photos or quiciniera photos too. If youre ever in town stop on by Im sure youll enjoy it.

Great view of San Antonio from up there. You can see everything since its the tallest structure in San Antonio. Great food in the restaurant too. Would definitely recommend at least going to the viewing area.

The tower was a spectacular View, and the restaurant its ok

It was a quick visit, but was really impressed with how clean it was... And how the walking paths were laid out

Have dinner on the tower! Its amazing and spins slowly for a 360 view of the beautiful downtown san antonio.....you wont get dizzy I promise! Or if your old enough skip the viewing deck price and payment and visit the bar its so boojie. Bring a date here and really excite them! Its a must see! Come at night its way better. Prepare for wind dont wear flowy dresses or skirts they will fly up! The 4d ride is fun, and is worth the experience.

In 2018 the City of San Antonio celebrated the 300th anniversary of its founding and marked the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Hemisfair, a semi-worlds fair representing the nations of the Western Hemisphere. The Tower of the Americas and Hemisfair Park are living monuments to the Hemisfair. The park is truly beautiful and well worth a visit. The tower affords stunning views but admission is a bit pricey although it is free for customers of the revolving Chart House restaurant at the top. Excellent food and service by the way.

I really just walked through it at night were going to do it again today but its a nice walking Park if you need to walk off dinner at the tower

Very nice park! We visited in the right dates because there was a huge festival going on. There were rides and games for kids, antique cars and food stands. This place was very nice, one of the best public locations that we visit in San Antonio. The tower of the Americas is also a sight to see. You get an excellent view when you go to the top and eating at the charter House restaurant gives you an awesome experience of seeing all of San Antonio from a birds-eye view perspective. Food is okay, kind of overpriced. Service is good.

A perfect place to come relax and pre celebrate my sons 15th birthday. My children and I had a blast. Definitely well come again.

Unique dining experience, great service!
