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 ~1700 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

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!
