Tower of the Americas takes you 750 feet above San Antonio for a birds eye view of the city. As you streak to the top, a glass sided elevator provides a panoramic view. The tower was constructed for the World HemisFair in 1968. Atop the tower an outdoor area can be accessed. It was extremely windy the day we visited making this area a quick stop, but inside is a different story--you're sheltered from the wind and audio segments present the city's history as you glimpse the streets below. picture #2 Scenic plaza with waterfalls picture #3 Tower view of the city picture #4 Gift Shop for souvenirs of your visit At street level, take in the 4-D theatre ride featuring the many different faces of Texas. A combination ticket provides a limitless day pass, which was great for the grandkids. We saw this ingenious film twice due to its "kid appeal". Hours are Sun.-Thurs. 10am-10pm; Fri.-Sat. 10am-11pm for the 4D theatre ride SKIES OVER TEXAS. Hours are Sun.-Thur. 10am-10pm; Fri.-Sat. 10am-11pm for FLAGS OVER TEXAS observation deck. Admission is $10.95 for adults; $9.95 for seniors and military; $8.95 for kids. For The Chart House dining room and gift shop hours, check the website.

Located in Hemisfair Park, the 750 ft Tower stands as a reminder of the 1968 World's Fair and it is a great place to go during the evening to enjoy a beautiful view of San Antonio. You have to pay to get to the observation deck so one little trick is to go to the High in the Sky lounge for a drink, and then go up to the deck. That way, you'll still have to spend a few bucks but at least you're getting a drink out of it!! Leave a Comment Phone: 210-207-8615Directions: Just south of downtown

by keeweechic We went up the tower late afternoon with the intention of staying until dark to see the transformation. However there were no seats up there, it was still pretty hot and windy on the outside deck and we didn't wait for complete darkness. It had also been a long day. Leave a Comment

by keeweechic This is a 750 foot tower which gives panoramic views from its observation deck. Telescopes are provided on the inside viewing but there is an outdoor view area right around as well, just hang on to your hat. There is also a revolving restaurant 550 feet up which serves lunch and dinner. The Observation Deck is open 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday – Thursday; 9 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday –Saturday. See 'Tower of the America’s' Travelogue. Leave a Comment Directions: Parking for restaurant is available off Bowie Street, east of the park.

 La Marcha - April 10, 2006- pro immigration rights by darthmilmo Another San Antonio tradition. This tower has one of the best views in town. There are elevators that can take you up the tower and for those romantics souls i'd recommend a dinner at the restaurant on top. It's a bit overpriced, but hey, you're paying for the mood no? Enjoy the food and view! Leave a Comment

by PookieRabbit Tower of the Americas Built in 1968 the Tower of the Americas is pretty hard to miss on the San Antonio skyline, not really surprising as it?s one of the biggest in America. Situated in the Hemisfair park area it?s an easy walk from downtown or one of the tourist shuttles. After your ear popping ride to the top there is both an indoor and outdoor viewing area as well as a restaurant. The indoor viewing area has panels showing different locations to look out for. Try and experience the view from up here in a day and on a night. The area at the base of the tower with fountains and landscaping is a nice place just for a sit and do nothing ten minutes.
