Hemisfair
An urban park on the former site of the 1968 World's Fair, with the Yanaguana Garden children's playground and fountains, plus restaurants and cafés in restored 19th-century houses.
HemisFair Park was the grounds of San Antonio's 1968 World's Fair and is gradually being transformed into a public space downtown. The Yanaguana Garden is a large free children's playground with water features. Nineteenth-century houses preserved in the park have been converted into restaurants and cafés, and the Tower of the Americas and the Mexican Cultural Center are also located here. Admission is free, and it is a good place for families to rest between the riverwalk and the tower.
