Come
and Discover Fossil Rim… where
you can see animals living in their near natural
environment. Located just
one hour and 20 minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth,
the 1800 acres of open spaces lets you interact
with deer, rhinos, giraffes and other wildlife.
Drive your own vehicle through the 9 1⁄2
mile tour. You will see long distance views of
savannah-like pastures, forested areas and hillsides
for the animals to roam.
If you are lucky, you might see the Aoudad
or Sable approaching one of the many watering holes.
Fossil Rim gives you nature at its best: beautiful
vistas and wildlife living in the open. Join us
soon for an experience you won’t forget.

Help Fossil Rim Re-train the Sable Antelope
Please Do Not Give Them Feed
Sable antelope are very handsome, and we want you to enjoy them - from a distance. They can be aggressive over food, so we are asking all our guests not to feed them from your car. Don't worry - all the animals here are fed properly and regularly by our experienced Animal Care Staff, and they get plenty to eat.
Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the drive!
Look for our new Animal
Identification Flip Book that goes hand in hand with the Audio CD.
The Flip Book is available at the Front Gate and the Nature Store to help you identify the animals you might see on your tour.
