Escape ordinary experiences and explore the rugged beauty of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. Amidst the live oak thickets, limestone outcroppings and stands of Ashe juniper, nestled away in the rustic hills of Somervell County you will discover a sanctuary for endangered species.
Our goal is promoting the preservation and procreation of threatened and endangered species, environmental awareness, and providing a recreational and educational experience for people of all ages. Below, you will find offerings that will help you plan your trip to Fossil Rim and the Glen Rose area.
Whether you’re visiting Fossil Rim while driving your own vehicle through our 7.2-mile Gosdin Scenic Drive or enjoying a guided tour in one of our vans, please take the following points into consideration when planning your visit:
- Rain or shine, Fossil Rim is the place to be. Come and explore nature at its finest during any season of the year.
- The animals don’t care what the weather is doing, so they’re always out and about. In fact, the rhinos love to slosh around in the mud when it is raining. Keep in mind, we will put the giraffes and rhinos in their yards if the forecast for the night is going to be lower than 50 degrees Fahrenheit or if there will be any inclement weather (heavy rain, hail, etc.). We may also put the giraffes and rhinos in their yards for health or management reasons. Typically, we begin the process of rounding up the giraffes and rhinos, and herding them into their yards from 4-4:30 p.m. Any animal that needs protection from cold or severe weather will also be handled this way.
- Any notice of closure due to inclement weather will be on our main website page. Please check there before leaving home.
- Animal food is free at the Front Gate with the purchase of admission in your own vehicle. It will also be provided on a guided tour at no extra charge. We have a limit of one bag per vehicle for animal health reasons.

- ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED! We realize that many people travel with their pets, but due to government regulations, pets cannot be allowed on Fossil Rim property or left in parked vehicles in our parking lot. Please take this into consideration while making plans to visit us. There are veterinarians in the Glen Rose area who offer boarding services, and please call us at 254.897.2960 for more information.
- Guided tours, lodging, and driving through the park in your own vehicle must each be reserved in advance.

*** Please Note: Travel times quoted above are average, and may take longer due to traffic or weather conditions.
When you visit us for a stay, you multiple choices. The Lodge was the original “ranch house” for the property and, with a few modifications, now serves as a bed and breakfast. Located a half-mile further inside the wildlife center from The Lodge, you’ll find Foothills Safari Camp.
There, you’ll discover seven cabins. The camp is also the location of our glassed-walled pavilion where breakfast is served.
At the midway point of our Gosdin Scenic Drive, you will find the Overlook where you can get out and stretch your legs, plus visit the Nature Store, and Overlook Café.
Our Nature Store offers many selections of souvenirs and gifts for every age. After ordering some food at the Overlook Café, you can sit down and enjoy it at a nearby picnic table.

Technology
KRU wheels are built on 5 innovative technologies that bring meaningful improvements for both the professional and amateur rider.
The technological advancements introduced to the cycling industry span across every possible stage of the product development process. Research of new patented technologies, reengineering of manufacturing processes, development of proprietary design, exploration of new combinations of materials, strict quality testing processes are only some of the tools we use to shape our products.
Enhanced Bearings Performance
• Completely rethought hub design and assembly
• Unaffected by overtightening of the quick release (actually rolls faster)
• No maintenance required (200.000 km guaranteed)
• Low friction and rolling resistance comparable to ceramic bearings
• Performs well where other products fail
Seamless Laminate Construction
• Applied seamless lamination technology on both the rim and clincher hooks to substantially improve the construction of the wheels
• One seamless 3K layer is wrapped all around the rim bringing superior stiffness, increased strength and extended durability
• On the clincher hook this technology means no weak points and decreased risk of wheel failure compared to traditional lamination methods that require cutting the hooks and removing excess fiber
Self-Adjusting Spokes
• Drilled an hemispherical groove in the hub flange and added a ball shaped washer placed underneath the spoke head
• Design allows spokes to perfectly align from the hub flange to the rim supporting higher tension
• Higher wheel performance in terms of stiffness and stability
• Greater durability of the spokes, less maintenance required
Structural Laminate Enhanced Design
• Carbon lamination provides a strong construction
• Empty wheel with structural carbon walls to obtain high stiffness at low weight (approx 980g without coating for our W-GEAR disc wheel)
