Six Flags Fiesta Texas
What teen doesn’t relish the opportunity to spend hours at an amazing theme park? Filled with exhilarating rides, slides, and even bumper cars, there is so much for them to explore at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, they’ll never want to leave!
The whole family can enjoy attractions across several themed areas of the park: Los Festivales, Crackaxle Canyon, Spassburg, Rockville, Fiesta Bay Boardwalk, DC Universe, Thrill Seeker Park and White Water Bay. They each offer different types of attractions, including some for younger kids (which helps if your teens are the oldest).
SeaWorld® San Antonio
Animal lovers are sure to delight in a visit to SeaWorld® San Antonio. It combines exciting theme park fun with educational information about the lives and habitats of some of the world’s most precious creatures.
Don’t miss the new area, Discovery Point, the designed habitat where you can see bottlenose dolphins frolic and play! Or, if you really just came to see Shamu, then check out the "Killer Whales: Up Close" show. A visit here is also a nice chance to see their conservation work in action – a nice opportunity for budding marine biologists.
Another one for the animal lovers is the San Antonio Zoo. They have a wide variety of creatures big and small to enjoy, from alligators to zebras.
A particularly popular exhibit is their Butterfly Garden, where you can walk through a vibrant garden and see these beautiful creatures flutter all around you. If you have little kids as well as teens, the Zootennial Carousel or the San Antonio Zoo Eagle train are fun options.
Natural Bridge Caverns Outdoor Discovery Package
For the outdoorsy teens who love a thrill, take a trip to the Natural Bridge Caverns and enjoy their outdoor package. With this, you can explore Twisted Trails, the largest outdoor sky rails and ropes course, and tackle Texas' largest outdoor maze. It's even got a 60-foot high rails and ropes course.
Alamo Plaza
Alamo Plaza is a great place to hang out with teens. There are plenty of places to eat and small shops, plus plenty of fun attractions. If your teens love a good scare, then Ripley’s Haunted Adventure is a haunted house they won’t want to miss. If they prefer more straightforward excitement and adventure, then the Tomb Raider 3-D ride is an exhilarating experience.
Have a teen who loves learning? Then let them test their knowledge and learn new things at the Guinness World Records Museum. If you want to know more about the delightful offerings of Alamo Plaza, check out our post for some fun Alamo Plaza attractions.
