SUMMER fun and Gallo WINNERS!

Hot in the City tonight!!!

It's a beautiful Wednesday in SA - we're at the beginning of the summer season.  This means the oppressive heat of the July and August months hasn't reached us yet!  What better way to spend these gorgeous days than outdoors in the fun and sun? 

We have some recommendations below of some terrific outdoorsy things to do in the city.  Swing by before or after you enjoy these activities and have a cold iced tea, and a delicious pizza with a crisp salad  Show a ticket for any of the events below and get a free iced tea, all summer long!

The San Antonio Zoo

 http://www.sazoo-aq.org/

Our zoo opened in 1914.  Colonel George W. Brackenridge placed deer, monkeys, lions and bears on the propery now known as Brackenridge park. It currently has over 3,500 animals representing 750 species!  Our zoo is very active in the breeding of endangered species, including the African lion and the carribean flamingo.  But beyond the facts, it’s just plain beautiful.  Gorgeous fish and birds everywhere, adorable monkeys, and majestic lions and giraffes.  It’s an escape to paradise and a great way to spend a beautiful San Antonio day.

The zoo is open 9 AM - 5 PM, 365 days a year.

Fiesta Texas

I will never forget the first time I visited Fiesta Texas.  I was about 12 and terrified of rollercoasters.  We rode the Rattler (I somehow survived) and were thrilled by the Rockville High show. Then at the end of the night, Fireworks!  If it’s been awhile, you might consider visiting the park.

Their water park is pretty terrific, too.  Starting this weekend it will be open on weekends until June 2 and then open daily for the rest of the summer.

To purchase tickets and check on Park operating hours: http://www.sixflags.com/fiestaTexas/info/parkInfo.aspx

If you buy tickets online now both children and adults pay $39.99 per person.

Bear in mind parking is $13.87 per vehicle.  You can also always take a VIA bus to save on parking, which I’ve done before and while it is a bit time-consuming, will save you some cash ;)

Sunken Garden and The Japanese Tea Garden

Going to Sunken Garden is the greatest respite here in the city if you just need you some NATURE.  It’s a registered historical landmark, the site of an abandoned quarry, a true San Antonio treasure which underwent a intense renovation in 2002 (and it shows!)

Not only is a great getaway, but they host a variety of concerts and live performances.

Marilyn Manson will be rocking the 99.5 Kiss fest at The Sunken Garden Theatre on May 12.
