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.

I took my little sister here just to have some fun. It happened to be raining in the morning so there weren't many people. Actually we were only one of two families there. When we got to the ticket booth we were greeted by a really sweet girl, I only wish I remembered her name to give her the praise.... More

This was by far one of the most fun things that we did while in San Antonio. We got there around 11:00am and it was not very busy yet. I read that the best time to go was in the morning because the animals will still be hungry and boy was that true! We bought an extra bag of food... More

Visited the park with my son, daughter and daughter-in-law. The animals got very up close and personal. We were able to handfeed ostriches, emus, dear, lamas... crazy cool. We love animals so it was very fun. Zebras were hiding in the bushes and didn't come to the car. Maybe next time.

At most Lion Country Safari's you can't even roll down your window let alone feed the animals. Here you get a bag of food with the admission and you can buy more in the Gift Shop. The animals come right up to the car to get the food. So, there were only animals that would not eat you here. You... More

This is the place to go for your yearly animal fix. Children love it. It is pretty out there and staff is friendly.

We decided to do this drive on a whim and were pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. This was a really well run place and the animals appear to be very well taken care of. The only drawback was that some people took way too long to go through some sections of the park. We had a bottleneck... More

I took my granddaughter through this. She had an absolute ball. She loved seeing the animals and being able to feed them. Enjoyed the drive through, too. The gift shop had good merchandise and was actually very affordable. I recommend it for a 2 hour, at most, entertaining activity for kids. I enjoyed it also! Just remember not to have... More
