Love the Alamo, centrally located downtown San Antonio. A lot to see AND near Riverwalk and mall. And it is free!!

The Alamo was on my bucket list for 50 years. I was impressed by its condition, but just a bit disappointed at its surroundings. I was expecting it to be like the other national historic missions in San Antonio--with more space around it.

The Alamo has a special place in the history of Texas. You can step back in time and "feel" the battle. I would recommend that before you go to the Alamo you visit the River Walk mall IMAX to see the 45 minute film on the battle if possible. It makes the visit to the site even more memorable.

I always heard that the Alamo is an underwhelming, small building. I found it to be greater in spirit than size. My family didn't take a formal tour, but there was a general presentation in the courtyard that we joined. The staff member was knowledgeable and enthusiastic in her goal to keep "Remember the Alamo" alive. It was good to... More
