Top 5 picks from the Foresyte community.
#5 Romantic Riverwalks
Shared by Andrea Douglass – 37 ❤️
“It’s more than a landmark—it’s a legend. The Alamo’s energy hangs in the air, pulsing through centuries of bravery and heartbreak. And just steps away? Art galleries, cultural beats, and spontaneous street performances that pull you into the story. A city that greets you with mariachi, whispers history at every turn, and feeds you like a long-lost friend. San Antonio has layers—romantic riverwalks, bold flavors, and just enough ghost stories to keep your heart racing after dark.”
#4 Immersive Art
Shared by Elena Rizio – 52 ❤️
“Immersive Art – stepping into a dreamscape/ We didn’t walk through this exhibit—we floated. Lights pulsed to music, colors shifted around us, and for a moment, reality just… paused. A kaleidoscope of the senses.”
#3 Pearl District
Shared by Rose Chandler – 57 ❤️
“Pearl District – culture, coffee & cobblestone strolls. Think Brooklyn charm with Texas soul. Boutiques, cafes, live music drifting through open-air markets. It was the kind of place you plan to spend an hour and somehow lose an entire afternoon (no regrets).”
#2 Haunted History Tour
Shared by Cleo Whitaker – 171 ❤️
“Haunted History Tour – goosebumps guaranteed. By lantern light, we uncovered tales that still linger in the cobblestones. Every shadow seemed to twitch. Every gust of wind? Definitely a ghost. Suspenseful, theatrical, and wildly fun.”
#1 San Antonio Zoo
Shared by Cleo Whitaker – 188 ❤️
“A wild walk through wonder 🐘🌿 Flamingos, rhinos, and a carousel that spun like childhood memories. The zoo blended nostalgia with discovery—and yes, we did name every animal we saw.”
