About Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences in the entire United States: a 1,800-acre drive-through wildlife refuge where giraffes eat from your car window and cheetahs patrol rolling hills that look more like Kenya than central Texas. Home to many species, including threatened and endangered animals, Fossil Rim is both a world-class visitor destination and a serious conservation facility. From Itasca Creek RV Park, it makes a memorable day trip.

- Behind the Scenes tour: go where regular visitors cannot, including cheetah runs
- Children's Animal Center: hands-on wildlife encounters for young guests
