Set on an 1,800-acre property just outside the city of Glen Rose, the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center is dedicated to the conservation and research of endangered species. There are more than 1,100 animals representing approximately 50 species, including 16 species that are endangered, and visitors can expect to see giraffes, cheetahs, antelopes, and many more. The most popular way to see the animals is to drive along the scenic 7-mile road in your own car, but guided tours are available for visitors who want a behind-the-scenes look at the park. Animal feed can be purchased from the Visitor Center.
