Program Schedule

Ranger-guided programs are available by request Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

The National Park Service offers many educational opportunities for students to experience the natural and cultural history of the San Antonio Missions. The park is an ideal "outdoor classroom" in which to explore the heritage of our nation's Spanish Colonial past and appreciate the value of historic preservation.

Free program offerings by park rangers include curriculum-based activities that adhere to content standards and concepts as defined by Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

Reservations are required for guided programming. There is no charge for any activities.
