Things to do in San Antonio
Although you’ll probably not want to leave the fabulously renovated Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk with a pool on the rooftop and access to the riverwalk, San Antonio holds many treasures for the curious adventurer. With all the things to do and so many ways to relax in San Antonio, you may want to spend a couple extra days.
Some of the most popular attractions including the San Antonio River Cruises, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the Aztec Theatre, and the Kallison Love Lock Walk Bridge are within walking distance. Biga on the Banks, a popular upscale restaurant, is just across the street; however, access to the riverwalk opens up an endless assortment of nearby restaurants to meet the tastes and budgets of all conference attendees.
We sincerely hope you’ll join us for the 2022 Texas Association for Higher Education Assessment Conference in San Antonio. You won’t be disappointed! Click below to visit the Chamber of Commerce website to learn more about things to do in San Antonio!
