Travel Itinerary

Start your second day with a drive from Boerne towards the Brackenridge Park area in San Antonio, home to the zoo and Japanese Tea Garden.

Spend a significant portion of your day at the San Antonio Zoo, a key highlight of your trip. The zoo is very stroller-friendly with wide paths and plenty of shaded areas. Take your time enjoying the diverse animal exhibits at a relaxed pace suitable for a newborn.

Located adjacent to the San Antonio Zoo, the Japanese Tea Garden offers a tranquil escape with its beautiful koi ponds, stone bridges, and lush landscaping. It's a serene place for a leisurely walk with a stroller, offering plenty of peaceful spots to rest and enjoy the beauty.

After the zoo and tea garden, enjoy some downtime in the expansive Brackenridge Park. Find a shaded picnic spot, or simply relax by the San Antonio River that flows through it. It’s a great green space for stretching out or enjoying the outdoors.

Head back to Boerne after a full day of animal encounters and garden strolls, ensuring a comfortable return for the family.

Enjoy a quiet evening in Boerne, perhaps sharing a meal or simply unwinding with your newborn and grandparents after an active day.

On your final day, drive from Boerne south to explore the historic San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.

Explore Mission San José, known as the 'Queen of the Missions.' Wander through the extensive grounds, admire the Rose Window, and enjoy the open space. It's a great historical site for a gentle walk with a stroller, offering cultural insights and beautiful architecture.

Next, visit Mission Concepción, the oldest unrestored stone church in America. Its distinctive twin towers and colorful frescoes make for a beautiful and historically rich, yet manageable, visit for families with a newborn.

Immerse yourselves in the vibrant culture of Market Square, or El Mercado, the largest Mexican marketplace in the United States. Stroll through the lively stalls, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and perhaps pick up a unique souvenir. It's an energetic but open space suitable for a family visit.

Conclude your memorable family trip by driving back to Boerne, allowing ample time for final goodbyes with grandparents and preparation for your departure.

Spend your final hours enjoying last moments with family, packing, and making preparations for your journey home, reflecting on the wonderful memories made.
