San Antonio is known for its tacos! Maybe grab a bite after visiting 6 Flags or the La Cantera Mall. They tend to be busy so you might want to order online and pick up. Don't miss out on their breakfast tacos as well!

Fun Activity
I love this place! If you're looking for family fun or to have a few drinks with friends while doing some top golf I highly recommend this place. You take turns hitting golf balls to try and hit different rings out in the field. The computer tracks your score. Summers tend to get hot in San Antonio so go in the morning. Also, they do a great brunch.

If you’re looking for a day of relaxation by the pool I recommend La Cantera Resort and spa. They have multiple pools for children and adults. There is poolside food and drink service. This is great for both families or adult travelers who want to relax for the day. I come here here for my birthday each year to drink in the adult pool while overlooking the golf course.
Get your day pool passes ahead of time as they can run out quick in hot months. There are other pools in the link as well starting at 35 a person for the day, no hotel stay needed.

Groceries + Convenience
Take advantage of the full kitchen and grab some groceries from around the corner. HEB has great "Meal Simple" dishes that are prepared in-store and ready to pop into the oven. They also do Curbside to go and have decent gas prices.
