Explore the Wildlife Ranch Drive-through Safari

We absolutely love this place. It is one of the best vacation stops you can make while visiting the San Antonio area. The animal interactions that can happen while sitting in your own car are amazing. They even have homemade fudge about halfway through the tour. You can stop for a snack and a drink while watching the giraffes. It's truly a magical adventure for adults and kids. 100% highly recommend going.

Loved our visit to the wildlife ranch. Six mile drive took about an hour. Animals will cross the road or just stand in the road, so traffic can get backed up a little. Loved the giraffes and the ostriches. Beware of the ostriches, if you roll down your window they like to stick their heads in and snap at you. They were funny, but definitely roll your window up if they are near! So cool!

Loved this place and will be back everytime I'm in Texas! We arrived around 1230pm and we were afraid the animals would be sleeping or not hungry. This was not what happened! We had so many visitors at our car I just wished I would have purchased more food to hand out! Some of the animals would only come to you if you threw some food put and then others would join them. My 17 year old enjoyed it too!

We had a Great time at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. Kids enjoyed driving through and seeing all the unique animals. You also have an option to buy food to feed the animals, but if you are cheap, sometimes there are people offering free feed that they did not completely use up on the tour near the gift shop and restaurant. The dinosaur exhibit was pretty neat but I wouldn't go again, don't think it is really worth the price unless your kids really like dinosaurs. There is a restroom around the middle of the tour where you can park and get down for pictures and snacks. At the very end of the drive you will meet the ostriches and everyone stops to feed them so get ready to stop near the end for a bit. You can spend almost a whole day just doing the wildlife ranch alone so if you want to go to the caverns, it's better to plan for 2 days.

WOW, what a complete disappointment! So BUYER BEWARE! My experience at this drive-thru safari compared to the one in Franklin was completely night and day. And my overall visit here was very mixed. While it was fascinating to see the wide variety of animals the location offered, I couldn't help but notice that many (if not most) of them seemed disinterested in interacting with the vehicles passing through. They were doing a very good job of resting near the fences, which were not near the driven path. These animals appear well-fed (which is a good thing), but being well fed makes them appear very content, which is undoubtedly a positive aspect of the safari. However, it did detract somewhat from the excitement of the experience, as I had hoped to witness more engagement from the wildlife like my previous 3 visits to the Franklin Safari. Overall, while this safari provided a unique opportunity to observe animals in their "natural habitat", the lack of interaction from the animals was highly disappointing considering the price paid and also buying food to feed to them which essentially went unused as there was not many animals interested in the food we bought. The location also offers some monkeys and lemurs to look at as well as a bird experience, which we did not opt to pay for. There is also a dinosaur / dragon exhibit which is decent if you are into those kinds of things. It was cool to see how an average human compares in size to the dinosaurs as the replicas were life-sized.
