Want to escape your day-to-day grind for a while? You’re in luck! The San Antonio area is full of museums and galleries where you can immerse yourself in other times, cultures, and experiences. Even better, many of them regularly offer free admission — including the ones we’ve listed here! Plan a visit in October to celebrate National Museums and Galleries Month. McNay Art Museum (McNayArt.org) – Art lovers, this one’s for you! The McNay Art Museum was Texas’s first modern art museum, and it’s housed in a gorgeous Spanish colonial revival house.

McNay offers free general admission (not including special exhibitions) every Thursday from 4–9 p.m. and the first Sunday of the month from noon–5 p.m. Recipients of SNAP, WIC, and MAP can always explore free with proof of assistance and identification. The DoSeum (TheDoSeum.org) – This is the perfect museum to visit with your kids or grandkids. It’s packed with hands-on exhibits that will encourage them to experiment, play, and create in a safe environment. They can explore light, sound, force, and motion or build their own city! To access The DoSeum for free, visit TheDoSeum.org/ free-family-nights and register for one of their Free Family Nights on the first Monday of each month. Area 21 (SAMSAT.org/area21) – Are you intrigued by outer space, robots, and virtual reality? If so, you should head to Area 21 for an always-free self-guided museum experience. Area 21 is located at the Boeing Center at Tech Port at Port San Antonio, and it’s extremely underrated. Bring your family to drive a robot through a maze, experiment with augmented reality hands, and learn about aerospace development, coding, and more. The Witte Museum (WitteMuseum.org) – This list wouldn’t be complete without a nod to our city’s most popular museum. The Witte is a family-friendly spot that teaches kids and adults alike about the wonders of nature, science, and other cultures.
