![]() ![]() And yes, we ended up throwing the food in the trash. And yes we were there late but under no circumstances did we linger or give him any reason to be as rude as he was to us. Yes the park is expensive, yes the food was costly (in my opinion they should give at least one bag free per car), but again, this is for the care of the animals so no complaints there. SHAME ON the unprofessional, impolite, inpatient, and rude employee!!!! No excuses for his behavior. Bravo to that young man for being so nice and professional. This area is 52 acres of undeveloped land which allows a place for native species such as white-tailed deer, raccoons, red foxes, opossums and even bald eagles. I called the young man back over to me and thanked him on how helpful and kind he was and how completely rude the other employee was. I was stunned at how extremely RUDE he was. Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted me saying “we are closed” I tried once again to simply tell him I was going to dump the food and leave and he again cut me off and said “ we closed two minutes ago, you need to leave”. ![]() We were not quite sure of the direction to walk in so I asked an employee walking in my direction (older man with glasses) I asked very politely if the donkey exhibit was that way. He said that we could simply walk up to the donkey exhibit and throw it in there and they would love it. I asked a young gentleman if there was a receptacle for left over food. With so much food left over I found it to be a waste to simply throw it away. When we were visiting the walk-about we started to walk to our car since we knew the park was closing. Sadly they were not that hungry (probably since it was late and the employees were throwing feed out to them) and we were left with two full bags at the end. We made sure not to throw out too much food in the beginning so we could feed more animals down the road. Much like the previous reviews we saw many types of deer, zebra, rhino and giraffe. We bought 4 bags of food which was also costly. The cost was steep but I attributed that to the cost of taking care of all the animals. We arrived at 3:30 knowing and accepting that we had limited time in the park. We really enjoyed our visits and looked forward to this one. Check out the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch's website for more details.We have visited the ranch a couple times in the past 10 years. Admission includes one free bag of food to feed to the animals. General admission tickets start at $22 for adults, $20 for seniors age 65 and older and $13.50 for children age 3 to 11. The ranch is open year-round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, from 9 a.m. The attraction recommends setting aside an hour to 90 minutes to drive through the park. Visitors must drive through the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, so having a car is a must to visit here. A handful of visitors were disappointed with the petting zoo portion of the ranch, though they conceded that it was still relatively entertaining for kids. Past travelers generally enjoyed their experiences driving through the park. Hungry visitors can stop at the Safari Camp Grill, while the Safari Trading Post provides a number of knickknacks for purchase. The ranch covers more than 450 acres and is populated with animals like southern white rhinoceroses, lemurs and Damaraland zebras. Located about 25 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio, Natural Bridge Wildlife Park brings the feel (and some of the animals) of an African-style safari to Texas. ![]()
