Witte Museum

The HEB science treehouse that is on the property of the witte is enough reason for me to take the trek down to Broadway to the Witte. Admission is usually free at least one day a week, making this a bargain for kids of all reason. There is also a more adult-oriented area that showcases the history of the area, but you don't have to stick to that- the treehouse is fun even for adults like myself and I find myself wanting to go there for that more than anything.

Witte is a wonderful museum that has been in San Antonio for many years. They have travelling museums that will come to the Witte several times a year for special ocassions. They also will have special shows for children, which are wonderful for little ones around the age of 3-4. Beautiful scenery surrounds the museum and the San Antonio Zoo is nearby as well. Museum prices can be high at times, but there are coupons available frequently which brings the price down considerably. I have known several people to have gotten married here as well, so that's another option for some people. The weddings have been beautiful.

PROS: San Antonio legend, moderately priced. Good for kids.
CONS: Charge for children

This is a fun and educational place to take the kids. Every Tuesday night from 4 to 8 is free admissions, otherwise you have to pay for entrance. There are numerous activity centers and exhibits to see and the theme for the main exhibit changes every few months. Up stairs is an activity room where kids can experiment with wind, water, electricity and gravity. Be sure to visit the tree house outside and the log cabin in the back.

This is a good museum if you've never been and want to see a range of exhibits. Some of their exhibits are quite old, but the rotating exhibit (right now -- World of Water) and HEB Treehouse are good for children in elementary school. I just wish we had better science museums like in Houston or Dallas!
