Fun Things to do in Bryan College station TX

Franklin Drive Thru Safari

It’s an Aggie owned and operated organization born from a love of animal stewardship and dedication to conservation. The park offers 450 acres of family-friendly, educational, and conservation-based opportunities to interact with over 100 species of wildlife, including several extinct-in-the-wild species and more than 20 endangered species!

If you want fun interacting with wildlife this Safari park is a great place to visit. Franklin Safari has a driving trail and a walking trail. Your admission covers both. You can walk around to feed the animals and then drive through. All ages love this. You will have fun feeding giraffes and petting tortoises and see the animals run by the car. You can get great animal photos as well.

The staff are very informative and helpful. If you have any questions, you can reach out to 979-828-5256.

Messina Hof Estate Winery - Bryan, TX

Messina Hof is the original Aggie-owned Texas winery. If you love wine, this is a good place to check out. I visited Messina Hof winery & Resort for the first time when my friend had a beautiful wedding. It’s one of the award-winning wineries in Texas. You can taste 100% Texas wine made from 100% Texas grapes. Take your loved one out on a date or visit with a group of friends. You won’t regret it.
