I’ve been to the Alamo, and although I am a history buff and love all places like this, you don’t want to miss this one. It really doesn’t take that long to go through and there is a great little audio recording you listen to about the attack of the Mexican Army and the Texan Defenders who were defeated in 1836. Stroll the plaza and buy souvenirs. It’s fun, educational, and informative.
