The city of San Antonio is well known for Fiesta season, but let’s be honest, it’s not for everybody. If Fiesta isn’t your thing, then fear not, because there are plenty of alternatives to do in the month of April.
1. Theme Parks
With everybody celebrating Fiesta (mostly) downtown, it’s the perfect time to head to Six Flags or SeaWorld and avoid all those pesky lines. The weather also makes it convenient, as it isn’t nearly as hot in spring as it is in summer.
