So much history. There's tours everyday. You can visit all four missions in a short time. Drive or walk.

I don’t usually give a 5 star review, but when I do they earn it!! We learned so much here!! Like that there are 4 more missions besides the Alamo! And they are a national historic site. Espada was my favorite it was so beautiful!

A beautiful time capsule of history. A bargain, 5 sites at $0, of course you can donate to the Churches. But who can beat that? Sure the Alamo is free too, but it's crowded and just one site.

Took military graduate son there for celebratory outing. Beautiful historical park with well marked points of interest displays. Clean and well kept historical structures to walk among. Very educational. Paved Nature paths good for both the nimble and wheelchairs or walkers. Tickets to visit were not necessary.

This series of 4 missions is not to be missed. While they all share similarities, each one has unique aspects that make a visit to each worthwhile. These missions portray the history of the mission period of the 1700s. While gaining perspective on this important period of US and Texas history, you'll also see and hear some of the stories of the indigenous people and their descendants. It's a terrific mix of agriculture, trade, family life, community, military, and religion. In terms of the churches, Mission Concepcion (oldest unrestored stone church in the US - and in remarkable shape!) and Mission San Jose (Queen of the Missions - largest and most restored) are both special. In addition, the San Antonio Missions National Park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
