Tower of the Americas is approximately 750 feet long to the antenna. This tower was built in 1968 for the World’s fair. It is located in Hemisfair, in downtown San Antonio. The tower is one the largest towers in the southern part of America. It was the largest in the United States until 1996 when the Las Vegas Stratsophere tower was built. The tower gives wonderful sites of San Antonio from a very high space.

The tower is known for a very good tourist attraction site due to the fact that it has a restaurant at the top. Laundry's Restaurants, Inc. is a very large seafood venture and owns more than twenty different restaurants in Houston.When you get to the top, you can also take a glass elevator to the observation deck. The observation deck has telescopes and many other things where people can see all of San Antonio. This tower also has a 4-D film that is called Skies Over Texas and offers a chance for visitors to explore San Antonio and its history. If people do not want to go to the top they can stay at the bottom and stay at the café and shop at the gift-shop. http://www.toweroftheamericas.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_the_Americas
