Why you should go…

Built for the 1968 World's Fair, this 750-foot spire still owns the skyline. Glass elevators whisk you to an observation deck with views stretching across the Hill Country, plus a 4D theater ride and the revolving Chart House restaurant up top. Go at sunset for the full postcard effect.
