A quick 20 minute drive away from Rough Creek Lodge is an incredibly fun drive thru safari adventure! Fossil Rim is where Africa comes to Texas. The 1,800-acre facility offers a 7.2-mile scenic drive where you can interact with approximately 1,100 exotic and endangered animals roaming free in herds. Drive through in your car to see 50-plus species of wild animals including cheetahs, wolves, giraffes, rhinos, and more.
It is open 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM and is a self-paced journey (but takes approximately two hours to tour).
To gain admission to Fossil Rim, we recommend you purchase tickets in advance online. Go to fossilrim.org and click the TICKETS button at the top. All guests will need to select the day of their visit and a window of time in which they will arrive.
Fun for all ages! Long ago, dinosaurs left footprints in the mud at the edge of an ancient ocean. Today, you can walk in their tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River.
Find dinosaur tracks, camp, picnic, hike, mountain bike, swim, fish and paddle in the river, watch for wildlife, look for a geocache, ride your horse, or visit our interpretive center.
