If you live in or are traveling to San Antonio, TX, and are looking for free things to do while you’re there, you won’t have to look far.

From exploring the area’s historical sites to walking the famous Riverwalk, there’s no shortage of fun ways to spend your day in this city.
Make the Drive: Three Free Things to Do Near San Antonio, TX
1. Explore the Japanese Tea Gardens
The Japanese Tea Gardens are free to the community and feature paved walkways, stone arches, pristine landscaping, and beautiful plants, creating the perfect backdrop for photo ops at every turn. It’s open from 7 AM to 5 PM daily and is the perfect spot to spend a few hours in San Antonio.
The on-site Jingu House does offer a menu featuring popular Japanese fare, so if you’re interested in eating lunch or getting snacks while you’re there, you’ll have plenty of different unique Japanese-inspired options to choose from. The garden is located at 3853 North Saint Mary Street, next to the San Antonio Zoo.
2. Walk the Riverwalk
The San Antonio Riverwalk is one of the most popular areas in downtown San Antonio, and once you visit, you’ll see why. Walking the Riverwalk is free to the public and has shops and restaurants that line the water along the way. You can visit the Kallison Love Locks Walk Bridge at 126 Main Street Plaza and add your lock to commemorate your visit, which is the next best thing to experiencing Paris’ Pont des Arts Bridge without traveling to Europe.
The Riverwalk has excellent walkability, but not every area of San Antonio does, so you’re going to need a vehicle that’s safe, reliable, and keeps you connected. The new Bronco is a perfect option with plenty of safety features, an impressive infotainment system, and extra features that will make your life more convenient, keep you connected and make driving more enjoyable.
3. Visit the Alamo
The Alamo is a famous historic site rich with history, and the best part is that you can explore the area for free. Some areas require admission, but most of the site is free to the public. The historic site is located in the heart of downtown and is easy to access from the Riverwalk. There’s also plenty of parking nearby, but if you don’t want to pay a parking fee, be prepared and wear your walking shoes.
If you’re ready to trade in your current vehicle for a better option, we can help you find one that fits your lifestyle and budget. Visit us today at Jordan Ford to see the new Bronco in person, explore the rest of our inventory, and schedule a test drive.
