The Majestic Theatre is San Antonio's oldest and largest atmospheric theatre. It opened June 14, 1929 second in size in the nation only to Atlanta, Georgia's Fox Theatre, and it was the first theatre in Texas to be fully air-conditioned. The Majestic's blue ceiling "cloud scape" disguises the interior dome as an evening sky in conjunction with a cloud projector and small bulbs simulating stars. Enjoy the latest Broadway show, a concert or comedy show; there is something for everyone to enjoy here.

Shopping
The pearl brewery has been completely redone and turned into a great happening scene. Enjoy the Saturday morning farmer's market. Make sure you take the water taxi's to and from it on the river walk. They take you through a set of small "locks" like in the panama canal. It's like a water elevator. Well, I think it's cool.
