Overview
Located just a short walk from the River Walk and the Alamo, the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum has been a San Antonio fixture for well over a century. Inside you'll find one of the largest collections of horns, mounts, and Old West oddities anywhere, alongside a working saloon and a nostalgic sense of frontier Texas that's hard to find elsewhere downtown. Your ticket also covers the adjoining Texas Ranger Museum, which traces the story of one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in North America. Expect displays of badges, firearms, photographs, and artifacts that bring the history of the Texas Rangers to life for kids and history buffs alike. Booking through Get Your Guide lets you secure entry ahead of time so you can plan your day around it. It's an easy, weatherproof stop that pairs well with other nearby downtown attractions when the Texas heat or rain sends you looking for something indoors.
