San Antonio Sights

  1. Buckhorn Saloon and Museum

    The Buckhorn Hall of Horns, Fins & Feathers is one of the best kitsch spots around. The halls of mounted stuffed animals are as disgusting as any such collection, but this one features extra oddities such as a two-headed cow and a nine-legged goat.

  7. Witte Museum

    The Witte Museum - it's pronounced 'witty' - is a great place to spend the day with kids. The Science Treehouse, a high-tech activity centre complete with a sky cycle ride, is a marvellous diversion. Kids begin downstairs with lots of cool physical-property displays designed to tire out the little darlings before getting to the more cerebral displays upstairs.
