A 750-foot observation tower built for the 1968 World's Fair, still the tallest structure in San Antonio, with a revolving restaurant near the top.

Know before you go

  • The observation deck ticket includes a 4D theater show; buy online to skip the counter line.
  • Chart House, the restaurant near the top, rotates a full circle roughly every hour: go at sunset for the best light.
  • It anchors Hemisfair park, a good stretch of green space to walk off a big Tex-Mex lunch.
  • Skip it on hazy or overcast days: the view is the whole point.
