SAN ANTONIO – Spring Break is a busy time for families from near and far to explore all of the fun activities San Antonio has to offer. Whether it’s riding coasters at amusement parks, wandering through museums, bowling or jumping on trampolines there’s plenty to keep a family busy over the spring break vacation.
Of course, doing all those activities works up a healthy appetite but you don’t want to have to worry about how clean the place is.
Behind the Kitchen Door has pulled the recent inspection reports for dozens of local entertainment establishments and popular attractions that also serve food.
Overall, the vast majority of the businesses got high scores from health inspectors with only minor deductions for health code violations.

Metro Health reports for Six Flags Fiesta Texas did not list each food location by name so it was difficult to know the score for each individual food business in the park. Based on the available reports most of the locations were last inspected on February 18 and 19 of this year. A few of the locations were inspected last year in August and September.
The majority of the locations got perfect scores of 100. The lowest score was a 97.
