The ride is over for three San Antonio tourist destinations at Alamo Plaza.

“We were tenants, but we didn’t own the building,” said Phillips. “We had leases into 2028. The state wanted their museum by 2025 or 2026, so we had to sit down and work out an agreement.”Phillips said the attractions must vacate the building by Oct. 31. The next step is repurposing and renovating the historic Woolworth and Crockett buildings to build the visitor center and museum.
The visitor center and museum will have an event space, a rooftop restaurant, retail shops and will be home to the entire Phil Collins Texana collection. It is projected to open in 2026. Phillips said it’s bittersweet because his attractions anchored the area for years from an economic standpoint.“These attractions have been here for over two decades. We’ve sold over seven million tickets in those 20 years,” said Phillips. “There have been so many people that have come with their family and friends and made memories, so people are sad to see it go.”
