Was a wonderful experience. Up close and able to hand feed several animals. We purchased 2 extra bags of food at check in gate and were glad we did. The staff rides around on quads occasionally to get some critters to move off roadway. Traffic jams are frequent due to so many great photo opportunities and time spent viewing and... More

We had a great time here,just me and my husband, we went about 10:30am on a hot day in May, the animals were all coming to our car for food, it was a lot of fun,the place was very clean, gift shop not over price, and snack bar was good, great side trip.

We went around 2:00. The animals were in the shade away from the road. Many we're full from morning visitors. We waited in the road behind other visitors for at least 10 minutes several times!! Your $50 is well spent elsewhere if u want to see animals!!

I was expecting a short drive through some every day animals, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was a 3 hour drive through rams, zebras, ostriches, rhinos, and buffalo! You got to feed most of the animals and that was just so much fun! I really enjoyed this trip.

The weather was not great during our visit to San Antonio for theme parks, so we search for alternatives and choose the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. We had a 4 year old and she enjoyed see the animals for the first 30 minutes but then she lost interest. Then, we stopped by the Petting area, and again the 4 year... More

We went last summer, try to go early when it's not so hot and less crowde. We had a long horn come right up to the car, I would suggest rolling up the windows when you get to the emu's, they are definitely not shy!

If you have a vehicle, and a few dollars to pay for some food, then you have everything you need to go on a Safari -- Texas style! You just pull in, pay for a few bags of food (we got four bags and I believe that was about right for the 3 of us), and then slowly drive through... More

If you want to spend 40$ for 3 people and see 3-4 animals, go there. It's not worth the drive or the money. A few goats at the end did not compensate the disappointment.

I thought it was too expensive. A park employee came through giving all the animals corn so they stopped feeding from everyone's car! Feed the animals after the park closes. Felt like we wasted $50, but my six year old still loved it. Kind of expensive for a drive through petting zoo.

We really enjoyed the drive thru safari. It was wonderful to see so many animals without glass or cages. We were nervous about animals damaging the car but we followed the instructions on how to feed them and had no issue. The people were very nice and there's a super gift shop and small walking zoo area as well.
