The many flavors of San Antonio reflect the wealth of culture, traditions, and history found here. Indeed, the vast array of eateries and years of culinary traditions found in the Alamo City led to our designation by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy.

What’s new in SAN ANTONIO

Fun

Whether this is your first time with us or your 100th visit, new discoveries to make this student trip unlike any other await.

San Antonio Zoo

Take a walk below majestic jaguars at Pantera Walk at San Antonio Zoo. Pantera Walk allows the jaguars to stroll above visitors below as they make their way to the Amazonia habitat. The San Antonio Zoo is the only zoo in the United States to offer this unique catwalk for jaguars. After marveling at the beautiful jaguars, check out the rest of NEOTROPICA, the latest exhibit at the San Antonio Zoo, which focuses on the Neotropical regions of the Americas. NEOTROPICA recreates the look and feel of a remote fishing village with motifs characteristic of the Americas and nods to pre-Hispanic cultures.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Something, dare we say, diabolical is arriving at Six Flags Fiesta Texas just in time for summer. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger is the park’s newest roller coaster and it is all a part of Dr. Diabolical’s evil plan to harvest the essence of human adrenaline and fear in order to nourish her creatures. Standing at 150-feet tall with 2,501 feet of soaring track and reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour, grab a seat on this coaster and walk away with bragging rights for conquering the steepest dive coaster in the world!

SeaWorld & Aquatica

SeaWorld & Aquatica San Antonio also welcome new rides this year. Riptide Race at Aquatica San Antonio calls for a friendly competition between riders. Start atop a 51-foot tower and board a two-person raft as riders on the next slide over do the same. Then hold on for an exciting journey of 565 feet of splashing slides while trying to reach the slide’s end before the other side wins. For a drier but nonetheless exhilarating experience, SeaWorld San Antonio offers the world’s tallest and fastest screaming swing—Tidal Surge. Tidal Surge seats 40 riders at a time and features two pendulum-like arms that soar progressively higher to a staggering height of 135 feet at its peak, reaching speeds of up to 68 miles per hour. Take in the beautiful views of the park as your feet dangle over the waterski lake—but only for a moment before Tidal Surge brings you plunging back toward Earth.

PANTERA WALK

Arts & Culture

San Antonio’s creative community never ceases to amaze. While new public art and creative works are popping up daily, be sure to check out some of these latest works of art. Take a stroll in Historic Market Square and stop by Centro de Artes Gallery, which recently reopened after being closed for a year and a half due to the pandemic, to see one of many rotating exhibits featuring art pieces by immensely talented artists. San Antonio artist Kaldric Dow is the mastermind behind “Spheres of Reflection,” a sculpture paying homage to the representation of African American culture. Head to San Antonio’s east side at Martin Luther King Park to see this sculpture that features elements influenced by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings. The San Antonio River Walk has an exciting new cultural destination: The River Walk Public Art Garden. Located near the intersection of Market and Alamo Streets, this outdoor museum provides a full public art experience, including free-standing sculptures, wall-mounted art installations and informational displays. Among art installations found at The River Walk Public Art Garden is a portion of the “Bloom” series by Leticia Huerta. “Bloom” features oversized metal flower sculptures that, up close, resemble larger-than-life bicycle parts. The original “Bloom” installation can be found at Mud Creek in McAllister Park while the latest “blossom” can be found at Mario Farias Park. You can also find “Bloom” installations in Eisenhower Park and Brazos Pocket Park. For even more public art finds, visit www. SanAntonio.gov/Arts or follow @getcreativesa. Finally, head over to the McNay Art Museum for an enhanced outdoor museum experience featuring additional works of art, “invisible” new landscaping and increased accessibility. Vibrant florals, dozens of native and drought-resistant trees, scenic walkways, meditative seating areas and enhanced lighting welcome you to a pleasant outdoor stroll among brilliant works of art.

FIESTA SAN ANTONIO

2-Day Student Group FRIENDLY ITINERARY

Day 1

Begin early at Six Flags® Fiesta Texas, where it’s kicking’ up a good time with more fun than you can pack into one day including three new rides.

• Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger - standing at 150-feet tall with 2,501 feet of soaring track and reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour.

• Dare Devil Flying Machines - Feel the sensation of complete weightless while you swoop through aerial banks, loops and dives.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas offers a wide variety of different kinds of food to eat and environments to eat it in. Don’t forget, they also have entertaining shows, exciting games and other adventures designed for everyone in your group.

Drivers, start your engines—the time has come to race high-speed electric Superkarts on two, three level tracks. Andretti’s Indoor Karting & Games also offers students more than 100 interactive games, a ropes course, a zipline and laser tag.

End the day with RJA Ghost Tours. They’ll embark on a spine-tingling journey to some of the most haunted sites in south Texas. Listen to ghost stories and historical tales.

DAY 2

Begin their historic journey at the Alamo, first established as Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1718. Now known as one of the most pivotal battle sites in the country. Afterwards, enjoy:

• A narrated tour with GO RIO Cruises

• Students are always ready for a photo opportunity, and they can find one at Japanese Tea Garden.

• For lunch, head to the Pearl, named after the old Pearl Brewery’s bottling department, the upscale Bottling Department Food Hall offers a variety of dining options.

Lastly, take a trip to SeaWorld & Aquatica San Antonio to enjoy new and famed rides.

• Such as Riptide Race at Aquatica San Antonio. Start atop a 51-foot tower and board a two-person raft as riders on the next slide over do the same.

• Tidal Surge seats 40 riders at a time and features two pendulum-like arms that soar progressively higher to a staggering height of 135 feet at its peak, reaching speeds of up to 68 miles per hour.
