Best place for panoramic pictures of San Antonio!! Best time to go: 630-7 pm for sunset view ! ???? Just make sure to ask if 4D movie is available bc it wasn't when I went and entrance price is the same

Visit San Antonio

nice view ? good food? awesome service? Towers of the Americas got it all for you! I really recommend their seafood fondue and pear and saga. Don't forget their Cheesecake and Lava Cake ! :"> 4D ride !

Laura Ramos

If it’s your 1st time here, this is a must. Amazing views all around. There 4D short films that are so fun to watch. Not bad for $13. Restaurant seemed too pricey for us.

the observation deck is fine and all BUT I'd recommend just to head up to the restaurant that's housed under the observation deck and catch your self some cocktails and a bite to eat.

Morgan Grebens

Definitely a must! So much fun and the food was delicious! Such a fun, unique experience! Don’t worry! You won’t get sick, but the elevator is a pain.

Tower of the Americas happy hour-While this isn't exactly "hidden,"From 4-7 p.m. visitors can ride up for free and day drink , however if you would like to visit the observatory deck there is a charge.

The grilled Asparagus at the Tower Restaurant are to die for. I ordered one set of grilled Asparagus and I should have ordered two. Be sure to ask for butter. They bring the butter clarafied!

Sheldon Harper

This is the place to see just how large San Antonio is. Below the window is a map identify what each area is. Behind you is historical information with beautiful art work plus maps.

You must go here, especially at night! The city view is breath-taking. Restaurant on top floor, ice cream plus more on the outside area on the lowest floor. Beware if you are afraid of heights!

Jessica Solis

You can have a wonderful view amazing pics and a tasteful lunch at the restaurant there's a happy hour try a cold beer and those little roast beef burgers ;)

Stiks Rodriguez

Adventurous,dramatic,it's just awesome. Have a meal with a wonderfull toast to a lavish fine bar labeled 601.

This 750 foot tall tower offers the best view of San Antonio ! Teams raced around the observation deck searching for their next clue! –Race to the Alamo

Charity V.

This is so worth the cost. $23 for 2 adults. Visit at night to see beautiful city lights. Bring a camera with a night setting for pics. Dress comfortably-very windy on the deck.

Pepe Bernal

Excellent food. Excellent service . Excellent view . Great for dates. Make sure to make your reservation before you go.

Hannah Alkadi

You get a pretty scenic view of the city when you make the trek up. On a really hot day you'll want to dive right into the fountains .

Ron Jeramiah

Take the elevator to the top and check out the awesome view of the Alamo City .

Eric McCutchan

Don't pay their outrageous parking fee of $8. Go around the corner ahead to the right and park at a meter for less.

Brian Rawson-Ketchum

You don't get a good natural breeze going up Willis Tower like you will here

Astrid Karam

Great view . Here the sunset is awesome. And the movie in 4D, a must for every Texan-lover.

Jaysyn Longoria

Great for stopping in and hanging out casually . Do not bring a date here as it is cliche and over done. If u enjoy watching sunsets they are magical from this high have fun and enjoy!

Sue Ellen

Beautiful view and great experience to feel the breeze up there!

Joel Valdez

For more than 35 years, the 750-foot-tall Tower of the Americas has offered residents and tourists of San Antonio, Texas, the most breathtaking view of the Alamo City

Nico Parker

The view from the observation deck is great, but the food in the restaurant is way overpriced. The restaurant spins though, which is really cool!

Kübra

Nice panaromic view of San Antonio and enjoyable 4D ride . Worth to see!

Piatti Ristorante & Bar

Piatti Eilan approved as one of the most important places to visit while here in San Antonio!

Shannon Shore

This place is AMAZING! Relax with a drink and enjoy the view at the lounge . Service really slow..only one bar tender :(

Sonia Tandon

Mango mojito was quite sweet, but the pomegranate mojito was just right

Vicki Hoffman

Cost to ride the elevator is $10.00, and the gift store has the usual cheese in it, but the view is amazing from what I hear. Also the restaurant is very expensive .

Ryan Pavey

Really hot in the restaurant which spoiled the great view and made us leave early

Erik Cintron

This is the place to see all of San Antonio where you get to view the entire landscape. Problem is their is none. Literally nothing to see. Waste of time and money. If your from a big city skip it

Elevator operator George working at Tower of the Americas insulted and threatened to assault me in busy tourist ground level area. Reported to police & city mayor. Ruined my 15-year tradition. BEWARE!

Nick Brennan

Skies Over Texas 3D ride is awesome (even for adults)!! Tower entry is worth it just for the ride!!

Jeff Ceynar

The view and gift shop . Also the 4D ride

Kyle Joyce

A MUST if you're visiting San Antonio!

Gregory Davis

Spectacular views of the city .

Booker Fajardo

Great sunset view ...????????????

Motaz Fahad

Better to go at Night

Katherine

The Tower of the Americas is a tourist trap. San Antonio ain't New York City , Chicago, or Washington DC, hence the views from the top of the tower aren't impressive at all (nothing to see).

Crystal Ward

Nice view from the tower ;)

Ib Viveros

Great for date night !

Crystal Ward

Great Experience ;)

Valentina Álvarez Borges

Fun but there was a long line and it was a little expensive

Crystal Ward

Moe Dexler
