Fort Sam Houston Quadrangle and Museum - Museum in Fort Sam Houston - 1405 E Grayson St, USA

We didn't get into the museum, it was closed for the day so we just wandered the quadrangle. What a beautiful spot. So peaceful and quiet. It's amazing to see the deer, peafowl and geese wandering about without fear.

Beautiful place right on the base, large museum that covers the history of Texas military. Inside the Quadrangle there are many peacocks, and deer, and koi fish in the pond. There are some picnic tables under the big oak tree. The pace is free to visit.

Great quiet and casual place to go and experience nature. They have many types of geese and a beautiful pond area. They also have several deer that roam the grounds and several peacocks. You can bring bird seed, or other healthy bird snacks, but don’t bring dangerous food like bread and crackers for the water fowl. I didn’t see anyone feeding the deer so I don’t know what is permitted there. Saw many families and a wide variety of ages. There was even a family sitting on the grass with a large blanket, it looked peaceful. I remember coming here as a child and loving it, it’s still a nice place to go, many years later.

Another great little gem of San Antonio. Free to see and wheelchair friendly. There are some animals roaming around the courtyard and there's museum towards the back. You can take your time enjoying the exibits or simply sit outside enjoying the small gardens and animals in the area. Either its very relaxing.

Very enjoyable experience. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The museum was larger than I expected and has a lot of fascinating items and information. We didn't give ourselves enough time to finish, so that's a good reason to return. In addition to the history of Fort Sam Houston, it's good for those interested in other early Texas forts, and the development of Texas and San Antonio. I learned, for example, about Camp John Wise, a US Army Balloon Corps base in WWI, that was right down the street from where I live in SA. The Quadrangle itself is also nice, with peacocks roaming around, a beautiful historic oak, the tower, etc. Entrance is free but non-military need to get a pass at the main Visitors Center near I-35 and Walters St., so allow time for that.

The museum is inside a military base. The admission is free but you need to get a permit from the visitor center first, which is a few miles away. To get the permission is easy, driver licenses and car insurance are required. There is no clear sign where the museum is although it is very close to the entrance. The museum has some old weapons and explains the history of this place. Outside the building, there are fears and peacocks.

This was a beautiful experience and very peaceful atmosphere overall. Once you enter, you feel very calm and can see the history here. They also have a museum on the right side with a very informative tour. The director is very knowledgeable and loves her job. They are very good at preserving the grounds and history here. Plus the animals add to the peace. I was able to walk around after the tour just to enjoy the scenery. It was free admissions and you can always give donations.

This is such an awesome place. It was quite the surprise to see all of the animals there. Such beautiful birds just walking around. The museum was very interesting and had an fun "Easter egg" hint for kids to look for. It made it more fun for my 5 y.o. This is definitely a must visit if you're in Ft Sam Houston
