Know The Rules Of Visiting The Alamo
You can't wear hats in the Alamo
(this includes cowboy hats, fedoras, pretty Instagram hats that I'm far too fond of….)

no man-made structures can cast a shadow on it
, and this is now a building code.
Swimming in that river is illegal. “
There is a city ordinance that doesn't allow swimming in the San Antonio River
,” said Melissa Bryant, environmental sciences manager for San Antonio River Authority. Swimmers who are caught can be fined up to $500. That is not the only reason to stay out of the river.
On most days, it should take less than a minute to enter Alamo Plaza through the one access point, according to Alamo CEO Douglass McDonald.
Visitors and San Antonians eventually could be subject to bag searches or metal detectors when entering during the day
, he said.
