McSLAY ART MUSEUM | Free for students and a short drive from campus, the McNay Art Museum is home to a peaceful, cultural sanctuary. The McNay boasts beautiful grounds and a variety of artistic media, allowing visitors to relish in an engaging and worthwhile museum experience. It’s a great place to go when you’re in a contemplative mood or when it’s too damn hot to do anything but enjoy a chilled museum.

PARK IT UP | Need a dose of the outdoors before it gets too hot? Head to one of San Antonio’s premiere parks, specifically McAllister Park, for the perfect Sunday morning stroll. Known for its great trails and many deer sightings, McAllister is just far enough from downtown to feel like you’ve reconnected with nature after a visit.
McAllister Park • Open everyday 5 a.m. – 11 p.m. • 13102 Jones Maltsberger Rd.
