Drive on Over 3 Fun Weekend Activities Near San Antonio, TX

Learn How To Ride a Horse

After a busy week at work and school in the city, what more of a weekend treat could you give yourselves than a day or two of horse riding out in the breathtaking natural wilderness on the fringes of San Antonio? At Westcreek Trail Rides, you can enjoy a fantastic guided trail ride through open farms, fields, and forested landscapes. 

The horses are mellow and friendly, and the teachers and trail guides are cheerful, and knowledgeable, and really love what they do. The farm offers all kinds of horseback trail options, suitable for all ages and experience levels. The sunset ride with a delicious farm-fresh dinner afterward is particularly popular. Westcreek Trail Rides can be found at 12230 Westcreek Oaks Drive.

Explore the Scenic River Walk 

If you’d like to explore more of an urban landscape, the San Antonio River Walk provides a total of 15 miles of landscaped walkway alongside the San Antonio River. As you stroll, you’ll pass through some of the city’s most iconic and beautiful areas, with picturesque bridges to cross, excellent restaurants to stop at, vibrant shopping areas, multiple historical markers, and endless wonderful picture-perfect views.

If you grow a little tired at any point along the route, you can climb onto a glass-bottomed boat to enjoy the rest of the journey as a relaxing cruise. You can join the River Walk at most points along the river downtown, but a great place to start your walk is four miles to the north of the city center, where East Hildebrand Avenue crosses the river.

Stay at a Waterpark Resort

The Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark and Resort is a world-class wonderland filled with an incredible number of pools, waterslides, and river rides. There’s an amazing amount of fun to be had here for children and adults alike: you may well want to stay for more than one day. The resort portion of the waterpark has seven distinct accommodation types for all budgets, so you can book your family in for a memorable night or two this weekend.

Find the waterpark at 400 North Liberty Avenue New Braunfels, five miles to the northeast of town. You can enjoy the short drive in your new 2023 Ford Escape Active. You’ll find the waterpark easily with your car’s available Alexa Built-in with advanced voice-activated navigation.
