Really not much to see. I felt faintly ridiculous queueing up for 10 mins just to look at Crockett's gun and coat. It is a shame they didn't preserve more of the other buildings rather than just the Mission. The best bit for me was the diorama which showed what it was like at the time of the battle. That was a lot of wall for just a few ...

A must see for everyone! More there than you would think. Worth the trip. FREE admission!

The admission is free! The Audio Tour is seven dollars and it really brinogs the walls to life. Seven bux and hours of entertainment, can't beat it !

None of the original buildings are even left. Mission San Jose was MUCH better if you wan to get a sense of what mission life was like, plus they have an AWESOME marachi band Mass on Sundays

You have to be a Texan to appreciate "The Alamo" I would think. Men fought to the death. It amazes me how people need to be entertained these days and just the ground where the Alamo stands should be enough to say you stood on the very ground where these men lost their lives defending it but I guess people don't have sense of loyalty, ...

We were in the SFTG (ABN) at Ft Sam for medical training (91B3S).. we went and that little bitty short place startled us..

It was alsways soooo big in photos, we mere looked around saw nothing and thought it was an entrance preview.. Surely enough we ask one of the attendants where was the "Real Alamo" of couse "you are here".. couldn't help but laugh..

We were literally escorted of the grounds. (November 1965)

What is left of the Alamo is so very small. It is truly a shame that in light of its historical significance especially for the people of Texas, that they did not really opt to save the place as has been done with the fortress at Goliad. While John Wayne's movie was garbage historically at least when you visit Bracketsville you have an overall better perspective of the place as it existed in 1836

What amazes me about the negative reviewers was their inability to spell. I suspect that has something to do with their inability to appreciate the place.

It amazes me that the writer from Yahoo ( Andrew Harper ) would write such a ridiculous artlice today ( 8/15) about how the Alamo was a tourist trap. A visit to the Alamo is not about the lack of a ride or what is not there ( as was mentioned in his article ), but about the history that is behind it. Apparently Mr. Harper has no idea about the ...
