About Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
A world-renowned wildlife experience in the heart of Texas.
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center offers a 7.2-mile self-drive safari through more than 1,800 acres of scenic Texas hill country. Guests can explore in their own vehicles or join a guided experience on Fossil Rim vehicles. The drive typically takes at least 1.5 hours and offers close encounters with a wide variety of wildlife, including endangered antelope, and the opportunity to feed giraffes. The Animal Discoveries area at The Overlook, located about halfway through the drive, provides conservation-focused learning with domestic, native and exotic species, and animals involved in conservation breeding.
