The Alamo Description
On paper, the Alamo reads like a garden-variety relic. In the flesh, it's got personality. The mission-turned-battleground is a living piece of history. Kids standing in the antiquated hallways -- the very spots where the battle was fought -- will no doubt be struck by the enduring presence of those who died here. It's cool, not creepy. They might actually come out interested in a good read about Texas history.
Historical Landmark
Kid Tips
Toddlers & Pre-K: At this age, the story is lost on them. But count on pleas for a coonskin cap, inevitably for sale in the gift shop.
School-Age Kids: They'll be singing that song: "Day-veeee, Da-vy Crockett. King of the Wild Frontier"
Pre-Teens & Teens: They might groan at the thought of a history lesson. Once inside, most can't help but get caught up in the drama of the place.
Planning Notes
- There's more to the story. Make sure to check out the museum and it's new exhibit, "The Alamo: a Story Bigger Than Texas," that adds some new dimension to the legend.
- Get the scoop. On-site tour guides give talks about the Alamo every 20 to 30 minutes in the courtyard.

Been here 2 years ago, it was really a great place for family. Especially when you bring along your kids, this is great for their learning. I believe the kids will love it. Even though I was going to this place with my wife only, I actually watched other families, I can see they having their great time with their family. This is a must place to go!
