Very caring of their animals. All staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The best time to go during the weekend is before 1 pm. Around the time they open is the best unless you want to sit in the drive-through safari for over an hour while moving at a sloths pace. Families need to control the kids they're with. There is absolutely no reason for the kids to pelt the animals in the face with the food they're throwing to them at lightening speed. Makes an animal lover like myself want to get out of the car and show you how to parent your ill-mannered kids. Never have I fed the ostriches before, but I finally did yesterday. I was very surprised that it didn't hurt. At one point, my whole finger went into its mouth. They do seem very aggressive when they see the food, and they will put their whole head in the car for it. Today, we will be cleaning out food pellets thrown in the car 🤣. Feeding birds is probably the highlight. However, I think the birds would benefit from another park staff being inside the habitat at all times when people are in there or at least have them get on to kids that are stomping, chasing and/or grabbing the birds. There is a sign before entering that tells you do/don't. Staff should have them leave the habitat immediately and not allow reentry. Parents allow their kids to terrorize animals, and that's what has happened every time we've come into the bird habitat. With the birds on the ground and that many people in there at once is dangerous. Recommend to have a limited number of people in at once. It's also unenjoyable when kids scream cry because they're scared.... take them out instead of standing there yelling at them. We will definitely come back, again. Many praises to your staff for the genuine care and love they give the animals....we've seen it especially with the primates. I've been coming here since 1985 or...
Read moreNo day trips. You have to spend 2 days even if local. Kinda made us feel unwanted when we called to ask about them. Seems like it might be a wonderful place but, I want to feel non pressure when visiting places. The 2 day 900.00 was ok I guess but, I like behind scene tours. Animals and people act different when you do. We pay $$$$$ for it but, we know when $$$$$ is more important then us or our feelings even though it's our time and money. They didn't even want to talk about it. We might have paid if we they would have given us a minute. We love these places so, go if you do too. We love that people are trying to help animals. So, come to TX and see our sites. They seem like wonderful animal care givers. We just like what we like. Be kind and treat animals better then you would the love of your life because, we are here borrowing there home. See you around we hope and please give them a chance if ya need a place to stay for a couple of days and see TX awesomeness and animal husbandry at it's...
Read moreI called to ask about a few inquires I had. The main one being how I could book a tour. On the website it showed options for a hour drive-thru for $50 and up to 6 people. I was immediately told that Texas Safari Ranch wasn’t open to the public and then I tried to ask more about how I could book any sort of experience I was again told that Texas Safari Ranch wasn’t open to the public. I apologized for wasting the time of the person who answered the phone call but was rudely hung up on with...
