"Buckhorn Saloon & Museum" San Antonio Tourist Trap Tip by basstbn
San Antonio Tourist Traps: 27 reviews and 9 photos
Paraphrasing the old adage, "One man's trash is another man's treasure," I would say about the Buckhorn, "One person's attraction is another's tourist trap." It has been voted the "Best Attraction" by the Downtown Alliance, but Nancy and I both thought it would be ridiculous to pay eleven bucks each to see such "treasures" as a two-headed calf, a lamb with eight legs and their collection of horns. We looked around briefly at the free part, which does include an impressive old bar, then left to find many of the other great things this fine city has to offer.
Unique Suggestions: Look around the ground floor's entry section which is free.
Fun Alternatives: The city is full of great things to do - either free or at a fraction of the cost, so avoiding the Buckhorn shouldn't be hard to do.
