Indoor Activities for heat wimps?

We will be visiting Schlitterbahn in Late July/early August. We will be staying on site (9 nights) treating the Schlitterbahn resort as home base.

We are not heat or hiking type people. Therefore we have ruled out Sea World, Six Flags, Enchanted Rock etc.

We will be visiting Natural Bridges caves for a day of tours and mining.

We will be doing lots of tubing %26amp; relaxing.

Will make it to the Riverwalk for an evening

I am looking for suggestions of things to do that are inside and air conditioned. We are not interested in shopping, we like museums, aquariums, educational type stuff.

The kids are 9 %26amp; 17 - any suggestions?

PS what is the altitude of San Antonio?

Thanks

According to NOAA the altitude varies from near 550 to above 1000 but Wikipedia says the airport is 809.

For staying out of the heat, try the Institute of Texan Cultures, the McNay, the Witte, the Children%26#39;s Museum or the SA Art Museum (sanantoniovisit.com/visitors/things_museums.…). Also try the IMAX in the Rivercenter Mall.

I agree with the previous post.

The San Antonio Museum of Art has a very wide ranging collection featuring antiquities, Latin American Art, and Asian Art.

The McNay is one of the best private museums in the nation and is housed in the estate of its founder.

The Institute of Texan Cultures has displays on the amazing range of cultures that immigrants have grought to Texas.

The Witte Museum in Brackenridge Park is a natural history museum that you might also find interesting.

The Corp of Engineers benchmark at the steps to the downtown Post Office gives the elevation at that point in downtown San Antonio as 669 feet above sea level.

I%26#39;d also suggest Ripley%26#39;s Believe it or Not! museum and Louis Tussaud%26#39;s Plaza Wax Museum. It%26#39;s fun for all ages and they are right across the street from the Alamo and kitty corner to the Rivercenter. The website is www.plazawaxmuseum.com.

On the other side of downtown (going west) is the Market Square, which is a Mexican style market. I know you mentioned no on the shopping, but it%26#39;s free and it%26#39;s kind of neat to walk around in for an hour or so just to check out the public market atmosphere. And you can always find a ton of souviners there too. Plus, there are some good restaurants you can hit while you%26#39;re there, including La Margarita and Mi Tierra (both Tex-Mex, of course). The website is www.marketsquaresa.com.

Thanks for the tip on Market Square, I was referring to the general all American Mall where the stores are the same and can be found in almost any part of the country.

The MarketSquare sounds like fun.
