This is a great learning place for kids- there are 2 sections- the Caverns and the Wildlife Safari- the caverns are underground and great for getting out of the sun and seeing fantastic natural formations. The wildlife safari is mostly dive through and you can feed the animals from your car (beware the ostriches) and there is a petting zoo as well.

Probably the best BBQ I have ever had! Located in Old Town Helotes (outside loop 1604) which is a treat itself. Everything is good and its huge portions. The brisket grilled cheese sandwich is my favorite! Has a play yard for kids too, and sometimes live music
