San Antonio | The Perfect Wildlife Ranch for a Family Animal Adventure

Rather than calling it a traditional wildlife safari, "Animal Farm" might be a more fitting name. Most of the animals here are herbivores, and compared to some well-known wildlife parks in China, the variety of species isn’t the most extensive. However, the ranch is super spacious—driving through with stops takes about 2 hours! 🏡 Wildlife Ranch: Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch 📍 Address: 26515 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266 🚗 About 30 minutes from San Antonio, 3 hours from Houston 💰 Ticket Prices: Adults: $31.99 | Children (3-11): $21.99 Animal feed bags available at the entrance for $4.99 🥕 Additional fees apply for the Dinosaur Park and Bird Park ($5 each). ⏰ Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (open daily) 📢 Tour Options: You can explore by car or take the shuttle ($14.99 per person), which includes a guided tour lasting about 75 minutes. Parking fees apply for personal vehicles. 🍔 Dining: There’s a restaurant near the parking lot, and a rest area at the giraffe section where you can grab coffee, ice cream, and snacks. 🍦 🐒 Animal Species: The ranch is home to around 500 animals, including zebras, giraffes, rhinos, ostriches, deer, various goats, cows, and monkeys and birds near the exit. 🦌 Unfortunately, the tall grass in the leopard area made it hard to spot them this time. 🚗 Tips for Visitors: During this season, the shuttle can be a bit chilly, so driving your own car is recommended for more flexibility. 🥶 When feeding animals, avoid those with long horns to prevent scratches on your car. To attract ostriches, shake the feed bag—they love the sound! 📯 #Zoo #WildlifeEncounters #Houston #SanAntonio #FamilyFun #Texas #ChristmasTravel #TravelGuide #ZooAdventure
