La Cantera for Kids
Family vacations should be paradise for parents and kids alike. Parents should be able to lounge in a luxury cabana or even enjoy an indulgent couples’ spa treatment while kids romp around in the splash area or learn about local flora and fauna in the Naturalist Program. This is the basis for La Cantera’s family activities.
La Cantera has long been a beloved destination for families because it embraces both what parents need to relax and what kids need to play. When families aren’t cooling off in the pool, they can be playing games in the arcade or taking the resort shuttle to Six Flags. Discover all of the activities that have made La Cantera one of the best family resorts in Texas.
Pools
Kids' Pools
Make a splash in two of La Cantera's family-friendly pools. Families are welcome at the infinity-edge Resort Pool, which also features poolside Vista Grill. But families will really love the kids' pool, where kids can play in the splash zone or shoot down two slides as parents look on.
Resort Pool Cabanas
If the Resort Pool is calling your name, we have two cabanas there, too. Indulge in a VIP experience at the Resort Pool Cabanas, featuring a personal TV, refrigerator, and safe, plus fun cocktails and treats like Dippin' Dots and chicke tenders from poolside Vista Grille.
Kids' Pool Cabanas
Family cabanas are the perfect place to spend the afternoon. Indulge in a VIP experience by renting one of the four cabanas beside the Kids' Pool. Enjoy a personal TV, refrigerator, and safe, plus fun cocktails and kid-friendly treats from neighboring Vista Grille.

Local Attractions
Six Flags
Nothing calls to your inner kid quite like a theme park, especially when that park is Six Flags San Antonio. But the experience is all the better when you have your actual kids in tow. Bring the kids to La Cantera and channel all the little kid energy you’ve got for a day at Six Flags.
SeaWorld San Antonio
San Antonio may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think “theme park.” But it should be. One of the city’s first attractions was actually SeaWorld San Antonio, and it's still a beloved stop on a San Antonio family vacation. Read up on everything to know about the park.
