Go to a San Antonio Spurs game
Play ball! Well, you won't be, but if you decide to spend your inside time at the AT&T Center, then you'll certainly be watching some real ballers playing. Basketballers, of course, when you go see a game courtside!
The Spurs are the only major league team in the city, and they're the toast of the town! With five winners' medals to their names and surely more on the way, why not go catch a game and see what all the fuss is about?
The stadium itself is a joy unto itself, so load yourself up with some delicious food, pick up a Spurs cap, and go watch some guys throw and bounce a ball around for a couple of hours - great indoor fun when the weather's not on your side.

Cowboy up at Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum
No trip to San Antonio would be complete without a bit of 'yee-haw' action. So, tick off that old box at the Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum!
The Buckhorn Museum was founded in the 19th century, when the owner traded with hunters and trappers to collect trophies from local wildlife. Now, you can find a whole world of species on display, from hundred-year-old bison to ten-thousand-year-old artifacts!
The Texas Ranger Museum gives you insight into the lawmen of the old west, and what life was like back then. Featuring hundreds of authentic ranger artifacts, from weapons to garb, as well as first-hand accounts of cases and bounties, it's a fantastic trip through history no one should miss.
