Witte Museum: Texas Dinosaurs, H-E-B Body Adventure & San Antonio River Trails

About this adventure

Perched on the banks of the San Antonio River in Brackenridge Park, the Witte Museum is South Texas' flagship institution of natural history, science, and South Texas heritage. The museum's Naylor Family Dinosaur Gallery captivates young fossil enthusiasts with towering Cretaceous dinosaurs that once roamed Texas, including Acrocanthosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus pterosaurs soaring overhead, complete with authentic dinosaur trackways and touchable fossil casts. Adjacent to the main museum, the four-story H-E-B Body Adventure health lab offers exhilarating interactive STEM challenges where children use personalized electronic Power Pass bracelets to measure heart rate, test balance, run virtual obstacle courses, and pedal blender bikes. Outside, the museum grounds connect directly to riverside nature paths with scenic boardwalks, historic log cabins, and native pecan groves. The museum features full elevator access, stroller rentals, baby-changing stations, and free community admission every Tuesday afternoon.
