HEMISFAIR PARK

Built to host the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair Park has since been completely renovated and offers San Antonio residents and visitors a unique experience.

During the renovation, unused facilities were removed and a beautiful, 15-acre park with cascading waterfalls and fountains, lushly landscaped areas, and restored historic buildings was built.

In 1990, a children's playground was added, built entirely with volunteer labor.

Symbol of HemisFair '68 and a world famous San Antonio landmark, the Tower of the Americas offers visitors an extraordinarily inspiring view of Texas' most unique city from its 605 foot high observation decks and revolving restaurant.

In addition to the Tower of the Americas, shops and the relaxing water park, HemisFair Park hosts two educational facilities, Texas A&M University Engineering Extension Service and the Universidad de Mexico. Also located in the Park are the Mexican Cultural Institute and the Institute of Texan Cultures, which offers year-round exhibits on the history and people of the Lone Star State and sponsors the popular Texas Folklife Festival each year.

HemisFair Park is located in downtown San Antonio adjacent to the Convention Center, in the shadow of the Alamo Dome. HemisFair Park and Tower of the Americas parking is available off Bowie St., east of the park.
