The museum boasts the most comprehensive collection of ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian art in the southern United States, alongside dazzling Latin American folk art, Asian ceramics, and contemporary American paintings. SAMA warmly embraces families with free self-guided Family Gallery Guides, art scavenger hunts, and tactile touch-carts. On First Sundays and select winter weekends, SAMA hosts family workshops featuring bilingual storytimes, hands-on clay modeling, and watercolor crafts inspired by museum masterpieces. Strollers are welcome throughout the elevator-serviced galleries, and the museum's shaded riverfront sculpture courtyard and Tre Trattoria terrace offer picturesque spots for resting with young children along the water. ## Similar picks in San Antonio - [Kids' Studio: Tiny Patterns, Big Stories at SAMA](https://grassyknees.com/san-antonio/activities/kids-studio-tiny-patterns-big-stories-at-sama--listing-7867ce7ade3fa3a1a4780d60) — Wed, Nov 11 · 10:00 AM – 11:15 AM · San Antonio Museum of Art · Ages 0–5 · With admission · checked Oct 30.
