The observation deck includes a 4d movie, but for $10.95 it still may sound kinda pricey. There is a $2.00 off coupon you can find in a San Antonio attractions coupon pamphlet widely available at hotels and tourist information places. I recommend looking for that to save some money.
I enjoyed it nonetheless. The views are unparalleled, and there ...
We really enjoyed the Tower of the Americas. It gives you a different perspective on everything. In the tower you have a map, all the way around the tower cab showing where each landmark is in the city. So you can pick it out on the map, and then actually see it from a bird's eye view. You also can walk on the outside tower deck which is ...

Chart House Restaurant Food and Service AWFUL; View of City Excellent
By ceeitpe, 01/15/08
The Chart House Restaurant in the Tower of the Americas touts itself as a high-end restaurant with excellent foods and service. Unfortunately, the food quality and the service were poor. The so called medium cooked prime rib end-cut that my wife and I ordered had a quarter-inch thick crust that you could not saw through. I doubt it was the ...

Where are the Flags?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/02/08
We ascended the Tower on New Year's Eve day and found it to be a worthwhile attraction. The grounds around the tower are quite well laid out and the water features very interesting and very photogenic.
But where are the flags? First of all, not a single American Flag was spotted anywhere on the grounds nor could any be seen out and away ...

Great Restaurant for Tourist
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/04/07
The food and the atomosphere is outstanding. It's a little pricy, but well worth it. If one has a history of motion-illness it's probably best not to sit next to a window (or facing one). Otherwise, I highly recommend it. -- You should make reservations, especially if your dining on a Friday or Saturday.

Something to talk about!
By Nizzle, 09/12/07
Our recent visit to the Tower of the Americas was awesome. I am not usually a fan of heights but it was a great experience. If you are scared of heights I would definitely recommend staying away from the glass window on the elevator because you can see everything. The observation deck was neat and since the weather was nice we were able to see a ...

The view is great - Food is not
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/07
The view of San Antonio can't be beat, but for $10 you can go up the tower and skip the restaurant. We had a small group, the food took over 1 1/2 hours to get to our table. Some of the food was so salty that it was inedible, the rare tuna was overcooked, so was the steak. The food is very expensive and tasted very average if not just plain bad. I do not recommend this, it is a tourist trap

Good
By Radder, 07/09/07
The veiw was beautiful, but I don't think that the food was worth the price. It seems like you are paying for the view. The food was accually my least favorite part about dining there, but overall it was a good experience.

By maryruthramirez, 02/04/07
Wonderful!!!! We also went to an art museum, Mi Tierra, and the Eyes over Texas restuarant on top of the Tower of Americas! All worth repeating time and time again!
