    Very cool little museum. $5 a head or $3 with military discount. Peaceful little house with interesting little things to see what life was like. Nice and private garden area where you can actually sit for a while. Great little restrooms too. Always great to find a private restroom when you are downtown anywhere.

    Enjoyable and informative. I appreciate the honesty about the efforts in the '30s to make it historical and renovate it, even going so far as to call it a 'palace'. Even for what it is, it is a very interesting location, and an hour well spent.

    Talk about a place full of history. Very interesting. As we arrived the museum care taker started telling us the history of the property. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. The Spanish Governors Palace is a great representation of what life was like in San Antonio in its earlier days. If you like history then this is a recommended visit.

    Very cool museum that is laid out well. Very knowledgeable staff who made sure we got to see the good stuff that the kids would understand.

    The lady at the front was knowledgeable and friendly. This place is something I don't think most visitors would notice, but well worth the price of admission. They offer a military discount as well. There's a really nice courtyard, the only downside about this place is that it isn't entirely accurate, the lady working there mentioned that it was renovated to "match" what the owner of the building at the time thought a Spanish Governor's Palace should look like. Still worth the visit though.
