Michelle Dela Cruz: Go to the Witte Museum! great new dinosaur exhibit is pretty interesting with life like models and a replica of an excavation site.
Social News Network: Though many of the exhibits are fairly old, the Witte Museum is worth the visit for the beautiful treehouse in the back and its gardens, both of which border the San Antonio river.

Staci Jordan: The Safari Tour at 830am is the best way to go during the summer heat of Texas. You see all animal exhibits plus best seat for Shamu show.
Social News Network: Get there right when they open to avoid long lines and you can hit all of the outdoor exhibits before it gets super hot. By the time it is blazing you can head straight to the water park!
Dean Toland ♛ (SU3): Be sure to bring at least a little bit of cash so you can feed the dolphins and/or sea lions. It's worth the few bucks to have a dolphin swim right up to you and eat from your hand while you pet it.
