This walking tour will offer opportunities to check out all that the Alamo Quarry Market has to offer - shopping, dining and much more. This sprawling shopping center is huge, so put on your walking shoes.

You will begin with a quick workout at Bally Total Fitness, have dinner along with way, and end up enjoying a movie at the centerpiece Quarry Market movie theater.

You will see the smoke stacks in the distance as you approach the Basse Road exit off Highway 281. The shopping center is full of history, as it was built on the site of a former cement quarry. Architects tried to preserve as much they could at the location and the smoke stacks are a focal point.

Turn into the parking lot and park in a convenient, central spot in the main parking area near Bally Total Fitness.
