Travellers who book in Leon Valley are usually here for the San Antonio Aquarium or for a night's stop on the northwestern side of San Antonio, since the enclave's own supply of rooms runs thin.

About Leon Valley
What are the main landmarks in Leon Valley?
One landmark carries a name here. The San Antonio Aquarium sits inside the enclave, drawing visitors from across Bexar County who would otherwise have little reason to cross the boundary into Leon Valley at all. Beyond it, the register is short.
Texas supplies the rest from the surrounding city.
What is the history of Leon Valley?
The city dates to 1952. San Antonio kept spreading past it in the decades that followed, and the result is an independent municipality of Bexar County sitting whole inside another city, counted for statistics with the San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area. That boundary has held ever since.
Where is Leon Valley?
Leon Valley occupies close to nine square kilometres on the northwestern side of San Antonio, a Bexar County enclave with no outer edge of its own.
