This is a historical treasure, that young children will always remember. Some of these reviews are from cheap tourists expecting Disneyland instead of the Texas vibe, and culture it offers. Most toddlers can't ride anything at all because of height requirements, but can freely enjoy all the rides for only $14 a wristband ALL DAY LONG. They never complain about bringing your own small snacks, and water bottles which is unheard of in most theme parks. The workers are out in the heat, and still give excellent service. There is a starbucks a block away for never ending complainers, and moms that need coffee. It's a part of San antonio that has been there since 1918, and I hope is still there when my children have children, just like it was for me, and my parents as well. I cannot stress enough how awesome it is, and crazy affordable! The rides still have original engineering which is far more advanced than most modern rides which are created without a single nod to safety, and wind up killing or injuring kids in the process to have that trendy look in social media posts. We never have an issue waiting for rides, and they will run the entire machine just for one kid, if they are in line. We go on Fridays, when most places are packed, and still have no issues. They don't have a ton of food options, nor do they need them? There are a million restaurants around, or just be better parents, and always keep food handy for your kids, like you would anywhere else in the world? These bad reviews are the reasons why historical places get shut down, so think twice before taking a piece of Texas history from those who love it dearly. You don't have to pay for parking at the zoo next door, if you drive up a block or two down on the right, there are long rows of steet parking always available. They have clean restrooms, and your little ones will love it. This is not a place for older kids to enjoy. It's a blessing for the tiny ones to have their own experience they will never forget. After you get done, take a stroll over to the river, and look the ducks or cool off your feet in the shallow end. The trees alone are worth the time. God bless this place. I hope it stays going forever for even more generations of Texans and transplants from other states to come.
