Xim TogMay 3, 2017Best place for panoramic pictures of San Antonio!! Best time to go: 630-7 pm for sunset view! 💕 Just make sure to ask if 4D movie is available bc it wasn't when I went and entrance price is the same
- Visit San AntonioDecember 17, 2015Enjoy the gorgeous panorama from the Tower's revolving Chart House Restaurant, take in the scenery from the Observation Deck or experience the thrilling 4D Theater Ride. Read more
Jazmine SilvestreApril 27, 2013nice view? good food? awesome service? Towers of the Americas got it all for you! I really recommend their seafood fondue and pear and saga. Don't forget their Cheesecake and Lava Cake! :"> 4D ride!
Laura RamosJune 27, 2018If it’s your 1st time here, this is a must. Amazing views all around. There 4D short films that are so fun to watch. Not bad for $13. Restaurant seemed too pricey for us.
- Tony TAugust 16, 2016the observation deck is fine and all BUT I'd recommend just to head up to the restaurant that's housed under the observation deck and catch your self some cocktails and a bite to eat.
Morgan GrebensApril 28, 2021Definitely a must! So much fun and the food was delicious! Such a fun, unique experience! Don’t worry! You won’t get sick, but the elevator is a pain.
Kelly AJanuary 18, 2017Tower of the Americas happy hour-While this isn't exactly "hidden,"From 4-7 p.m. visitors can ride up for free and day drink, however if you would like to visit the observatory deck there is a charge.
Color MesoftMarch 21, 2016The grilled Asparagus at the Tower Restaurant are to die for. I ordered one set of grilled Asparagus and I should have ordered two. Be sure to ask for butter. They bring the butter clarafied!
Sheldon HarperNovember 23, 2016This is the place to see just how large San Antonio is. Below the window is a map identify what each area is. Behind you is historical information with beautiful art work plus maps.
Social News NetworkDecember 5, 2013You must go here, especially at night! The city view is breath-taking. Restaurant on top floor, ice cream plus more on the outside area on the lowest floor. Beware if you are afraid of heights!
Jessica SolisJune 2, 2015You can have a wonderful view amazing pics and a tasteful lunch at the restaurant there's a happy hour try a cold beer and those little roast beef burgers ;)
Stiks RodriguezMay 14, 2014Adventurous,dramatic,it's just awesome. Have a meal with a wonderfull toast to a lavish fine bar labeled 601.
- Visit San AntonioAugust 15, 2011This 750 foot tall tower offers the best view of San Antonio! Teams raced around the observation deck searching for their next clue! –Race to the Alamo
Charity V.September 25, 2011This is so worth the cost. $23 for 2 adults. Visit at night to see beautiful city lights. Bring a camera with a night setting for pics. Dress comfortably-very windy on the deck.
Pepe BernalOctober 11, 2016Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent view. Great for dates. Make sure to make your reservation before you go.
Hannah AlkadiMay 22, 2017You get a pretty scenic view of the city when you make the trek up. On a really hot day you'll want to dive right into the fountains.
Ron JeramiahMarch 13, 2016Take the elevator to the top and check out the awesome view of the Alamo City.
Eric McCutchanJune 21, 2012Don't pay their outrageous parking fee of $8. Go around the corner ahead to the right and park at a meter for less.
Brian Rawson-KetchumOctober 2, 2022You don't get a good natural breeze going up Willis Tower like you will here
Astrid KaramJanuary 18, 2016Great view. Here the sunset is awesome. And the movie in 4D, a must for every Texan-lover.
Jaysyn LongoriaMarch 25, 2010Great for stopping in and hanging out casually. Do not bring a date here as it is cliche and over done. If u enjoy watching sunsets they are magical from this high have fun and enjoy!
Joel ValdezAugust 23, 2011For more than 35 years, the 750-foot-tall Tower of the Americas has offered residents and tourists of San Antonio, Texas, the most breathtaking view of the Alamo City
Nico ParkerFebruary 13, 2019The view from the observation deck is great, but the food in the restaurant is way overpriced. The restaurant spins though, which is really cool!
Floue HarnadiMay 27, 2014You can See San Antonio city view from the rooftop. So beautiful!! especially at night 👍
Melonie MorrowSeptember 3, 2012Get the chicken fricase or the snapper delicious but my all time favorite each time is the shrimp foundeux- Ryan SvobodaSeptember 24, 2023Cool place to go for a view of the city. Not recommended if you are afraid of heights!
Rio WibowoAugust 19, 2013Get in free if you go to the bar. Around happy hour to get some deals on drinks and appetizers.
Piatti Ristorante & BarJanuary 27, 2015Piatti Eilan approved as one of the most important places to visit while here in San Antonio!
Shannon ShoreApril 2, 2013This place is AMAZING! Relax with a drink and enjoy the view at the lounge. Service really slow..only one bar tender :(
Vicki HoffmanFebruary 27, 2012Cost to ride the elevator is $10.00, and the gift store has the usual cheese in it, but the view is amazing from what I hear. Also the restaurant is very expensive.
Ryan PaveyJune 6, 2018Really hot in the restaurant which spoiled the great view and made us leave early
Erik CintronSeptember 7, 2016This is the place to see all of San Antonio where you get to view the entire landscape. Problem is their is none. Literally nothing to see. Waste of time and money. If your from a big city skip it- jmg jmgApril 1Elevator operator George working at Tower of the Americas insulted and threatened to assault me in busy tourist ground level area. Reported to police & city mayor. Ruined my 15-year tradition. BEWARE!
Nick BrennanJuly 29, 2011Skies Over Texas 3D ride is awesome (even for adults)!! Tower entry is worth it just for the ride!!
KatherineJune 22, 2012The Tower of the Americas is a tourist trap. San Antonio ain't New York City, Chicago, or Washington DC, hence the views from the top of the tower aren't impressive at all (nothing to see).
Valentina Álvarez BorgesNovember 13, 2017Fun but there was a long line and it was a little expensive
