The views from the observation deck are absolutely stunning and give you a beautiful 360-degree panorama of San Antonio. It’s well organized and easy to access, and the exhibits are informative.

"It's All About The Memories"

Reviewed January 16, 2026 NEW

Over 40 years ago, my grandparents took me here, and we enjoyed watching a 360-degree view of San Antonio over the course of an hour. So I was disappointed to find that The Chart House was not rotating, but at least the food was good, and our waiter was great. The views of the Alamo and the Alamodome brought back a lot of memories!

This was a good experience. We enjoyed our visit here. It was nice to see the city from the “sky”. The 4D movie was a fun experience for all ages.

"TOWER UNDER CONSTRUCTION DEC. 2025"

Reviewed December 13, 2025

Sadly the Towers are under construction so they do not rotate but the view is still great. On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the best I would say the service is a 9 and the food an 8.
