September 2021: Stopped at the Alamo (because we remembered it), and visited their gift shop as well. The gift shop has a lot of interesting items and we came home with a few. Gift shop prices, of course. The shop is big and clean and really aggressive about COVID precautions. Armed security was present at the time of our visit.
ITs a neat little gift shop smack dab in the center of the Alamo itself. The building is very big, clean, well, kept and just nice to look at inside and out. ITs pretty busy, I didnt get anything because the things I wanted were pricey but...the service looked like they knew what they were doing and seemed polite enough. My only complaints are those prices mentioned and...admittedly I dunno if its ETHICAL to turn one of the historic buildings in the Alamo into a gift shop but...what do I know, right?Edit: Added a front picture, nothing from inside as it was REALLY crowded!
Truthfully Im not normally a customer but an employee here.Fall isnt always the best time to shop here due to inventory approaching/happening, October should be when we get back to nearly full stock so please be patient with us.Well try our best to find you what you want but sometimes were out of stock for that item.Also we cant show/sell you your photos because the photos arent part of the giftshop. Those would be by the door of the giftshop. Photos and the giftshop are different departments.Another also, theres a website for the giftshop so its possible to order what you know will cause trouble if youre flying home.
Worked at the Alamo and they were so unprofessional from the start. my grandpa just passed early Friday morning and I was trying to call in, called 3 times and no answer, didn’t even take me to a voice mail (and I am one to call always) showed up for my shift and they expected me to work even though they were going to fire me?? They never went over any rules on calling in or missing days. Their stuff is also very expensive and very cheap. You’ll find out once you purchase anything from them
Lots of unique items and souvenirs. Although some of those souvenirs are a little pricey (which is typical of a tourist destination) they arent too ridiculous. This is one of the better gift shops I have been to.
Nice selection of souvenirs the best part was the Queen machine that made 8 coins for $5 well worth it plus you automated and to credit cards push one button and you get 8 commemorative coins for the Alamo they had Boonie hats Indian ot stuff flags hats all the souvenirs you could think of for the Alamo they even had some mock up guns you could by well worth the stop
Good variety and able to handle large crowds
A wide variety of Alamo merchandise. Loved it!!
Great place for gifts and nice to know profits go to help with restoration.
Take historic building thats an integral part of the American folklore - then stick a tacky souvenir shop in it. Says everything about America.
Went into the Alamo gift shop and wanted to bye some fudge but noticed there were roaches in ever box of fudge I picked up, i told the lady at the register about the roaches and she told me to eat them with my fudge, I was disgusted, I kept looking around and then I heard the other workers laughing at me and calling me roach boy, I won’t be back
Good place for gifts from the Alamo
For a tourist gift shop, its one of the better ones. Good selection of Alamo and Texas themed stuff and prices are not outrageous. Can you get similar stuff for less elsewhere? Probably, but proceeds help maintain this important historical site, and there are gifts in all price ranges.
Cool place. We spent $150 without blinking an eye. Walked out with some really cool stuff too! Fun shirts, hats, and all manner of Alamo swag.
Friendly service. Good variety of soviegners, but prices are a little steep. Otherwise good place.
When we visited the Alamo we decided to go into the Alamo Gift Shop. It is very inviting and easy to get to with two entries into the store. There are a lot of great things here. There is something here for everyone. From toys for the kids, sauces and spices, clothing and more. We didnt purchase anything during our visit but, we browsed the whole store and saw many neat items!
Wow! It was very impressive. The range and assortment of gifts, souvenirs, and collectibles is very cool. The shirts were also imaginative. I know we made purchases andd we were happy to learn a portion of the proceeds go to care and upkeep of this historic treasure.
Shop there on May 8th. Purchased 2 items.Flew home May 9th after gift shop was closed. Which I did not open until I got home. Unpacked my purchase and discovered that one of the items wasmissing.Called gift shop today, left message. Received return call. Spoke with manager. Informed him of the problem. He stated nothing he could do. He started That he couldnt prove if I received the item or not. Made me feel like I was trying to get something for nothing.I asked if I gave him the item # if he could check. He said no. So then I asked if i could be refunded the amount I am now out. He stated the same thing as above.Basically Im S.O.L.Be sure to double check items you purchased.You may have a problem with this too .They maybe trying to sell items twice,for extra money!!!!
Bunch of cool knicknacks and souvenirs if youre looking to get something to take home.
The Alamo is well worth the trip to San Antonio to visit - a piece of Texas History!
I called to order a cap for my son and was transferred to the manager to place the order to be shipped - I checked my bank for the transaction an hour later and I find that my card had been used to purchase products online from Macys - when I called back to discuss the order I was told that Stephanie would call me back the next day - today I get a call from the manager the same guy who took my card information and he proceeds to deny any wrongdoing - when I asked why he was calling instead of Stephanie I was told she is in arms length of me if you want to speak to her; plus, my Order was never placed. BEWARE OF YOUR CREDIT CARD AND DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE- the manager could have cared less and obviously the director doesnt either. Its YOUR reputation people!
They have some cool little trinkets. Most are very high priced. Its not bad for Lee a small magnet or something, but most of the bigger items would be cheaper online.
Cool shop I bought a thick 5 dollar coin for my sister as a souvenir gonna last a long time :)
This really is a fantastic gift shop. Prices are a little high, but you would expect that. Fun Texas souvenirs, history books, and a lot more.
Nice gift shop. But you have to buy a bag if you want one to put your purchases in.
Lots of cool items
Great to visit
All right place to get gifts however their prices are somewhat higher than the other shops located on the street across from the Alamo they did have Penny presses there that was pretty cool located inside the Alamo complex definitely have a lot of stuff on hand the line to check out was kind of complicated with how it looked around
This gift shop is just outside the Alamo building. It is probably worth a stop if you come to visit the Alamo but their selection is surprisingly limited given the size of the store.There are a fair number of alamo themed gifts that you could pick up here, many printed items, like hats and shirts, and some more unique, like a flag that was flown over the alamo. There are also the typical gift store draws that will attract kids.
The Alamo gift shop has many different souvenirs in all different price ranges. I especially enjoyed the books about the battle of the Alamo. Also visiting the church of the Alamo is always a reverential experience to me.
Love all the selection of merchandise they have wanted to buy everything.
Assortment of nice antiques and souvenirs for your visit to The Alamo.
Nice gift shop with a lot of different souvenirs reasonably priced.
Nice stuff, I wanted to buy everything .
They have Alamo shirts, table set, cook books, fudge, jewelery, clothes for adults and onesies for babies.The place had enough to keep you busy for 15 minutes but its not over bearing with options. I felt like it portrayed the Alamo and the state of Texas
Yes, all of the gifts were cute!
I want come again. Historical place. Very recommended.
Definately overpriced, but a thoughtful way to support the Alamo. Lots of fun knives, shirts, cups, necklaces, artifacts, stickers, flags and more. With free admission to the Alamo, this place is great.
I would love to return at this shop for this coming Christmas season. The items they sell are awesome and Im sure that kids would love them for gifts!
These folks are great! 😁
Good price and not too costly you will have a great collection of the souvenirs.
Great side and amazing historical sites.
Very nice but very hot
Very large gift shop, lots to see. Only 2 cashiers, poor girls had a line wrapped around store.
Pricey, but it does have unique souvenirs
Great Service Love to visit The Alamo.
If you go to the Alamo, you got to stop here!
They had the penny machine but charged a $1. Overpriced like everything in the store
