I didn't know what to expect while touring the Alamo but it was a "must do" on our recent trip to San Antonio. The old mission building has been greatly restored as have the surrounding grounds and out buildings. That aside---The movie "The Alamo" from the 60's does not do justice to the events that occurred.Walking around and reading in... More

The remaining Alamo was smaller than expected. But we were lucky that we were staying at the Crockett Hotel close by so we could keep going back to see the movie, look at the exhibits and listen to docents.

Don't ask to see the basement- the Alamo is well preserved a lot of historical artifacts and beautiful gardens typical of any tourist trap. It has a nice little gift shop too.

It was crowded with school children running around on some scavenger hunt, and very hot. Kind of confusing as to where to go. I didn't do any research on it prior to arriving, and was rather disappointed.

The Alamo has such a fascinating story that you just can't go to San Antonio without seeing the Alamo. It is withing walking distance of the Riverwalk - another must if you are in San Antonio. Honestly, it seems they could do so much more with the museum, but it is worth your time to see the bits of history... More

Just to see such a historical site was worth it! Very friendly workers answered all questions related to Alamo. The garden areas were well kept and clean. They have vending area where you can get a soda or water. No pictures allowed to be taken in the Alamo but the outside and gardens are permitted.

A busy place but well worth the visit mostly with the audio guide, although the displays are not shown in numerical order. A delightful garden and well stocked gift shop.

The alamo is worth a visit for anyone,its an interesting place.They have guides who take you inside and explain to you what happened there,then you go though the gardens into other places and different rooms getting the picture of how they defended the alamo all that time ago.Great place to go and to understand,very good model of the battle as...

The first time I saw the Alamo, I was surprised that it wasn't bigger, but when you undertsand that you are seeing just one section of what was in 1836 a much larger enclosure, it makes more sense. We saw the film first, which gave us a better appreciation of the sacrifice that happened here. There was a docent or... More
