I need help!! I'm gonna spend a weekend in san antonio and i see on google there's a lot of attractions. What would you consider to be a must visit for a couple at mid 20's and a 2yr old kid???? ….. We won't go party. We are more into nature, beautiful streets and downtowns. Its more like to-see and no so much to-do.

Go downtown, see the Alamo. The San Antonio zoo is excellent, one of the first barless zoos in the country, and tons for a toddler to do.

Default Not enough time,

Two days is not enough time to get an appreciation of what San Antonio has to offer to
visitors, I repeat what has been entered here and would add the Missions, along The Mission Trail.
The structures are ancient.
With more time I would add Enchanted Rock, in the countryside north of town. An amazing place.

Walk from downtown to the Pearl, stroll the Saturday market, have lunch, stop at the Museum of Art on way downtown back for naps.

To me, it would depend on what time of year you are coming and where you are coming from. I would not want to be taking a two+ year old around in the Texas heat.

If you are planing to be close to downtown I would plan any outdoor stuff early as possible then retreat to the hotel until later when the sun is going down for a nite excursion.

Standing in a long lines, fighting the crowds in the Texas heat is a trip killer.

the riverwalk tours start at 9am.

Default Only an Opinion,

That is, I wouldn't wait in line for a tour there is too much to do for two days without waiting in line.

Keep in mind, since you will be here on a weekend, that McNay offers free general admission on the first Sunday of each month while SAMA offers it every Sunday from 10 am to 12 noon.

At Brackendridge near the Zoo and Sunken Garderns there is a miniature train. Your toddler might be still too young to fully enjoy this but they can get on for free and if you really want to be like a local be sure to get off at Kiddie Park and let them enjoy the rides before getting back on the train.

The most beautiful walk will be through the Museum Reach of the Riverwalk which is below street level.

The most beautiful street will be King William St. Take a walk through there, enjoy the Victorian-era homes, and if you have time visit either Villa Finale or the Steves Homestead to actually take a look inside one of these stately residences.

Downtown has activities, some for children, on the First Saturday of each month at Market Square.

Of course there is also the Tower! Must see the city from the top if you've never been here.
