The Lodge provides rustic luxury while the Foothills Safari Camp offers an unforgettable getaway in the comfort of a safari-style "tent". Both options are located in a peaceful and secluded area of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center – you will fall asleep to the sound of howling wolves and awaken with the songbirds. There is no more natural setting for a romantic escape, an inspiring family adventure or a secluded corporate retreat.
If you have a larger group or are looking for a more rustic setting also check out our Wolf Ridge Nature Camp bunkhouse rentals.
The Lodge is the original "ranch house" for the property. It has been modified to be a Bed and Breakfast style house. It sits in the middle of a popular wildlife feeding area. Desert Addax and Gemsbok can be seen from the balcony migrating from pasture to pasture. Native White-Tailed Deer and turkey can often be seen as well. There is a seasonal creek that serves as a watering hole running a short distance from the Lodge. Find out more about the Lodge.
The Foothill's Safari Camp is just a little further into the park than the Lodge. The Foothill's Safari Camp has "tents" made to look like safari tents in Africa. It is located inside a two acre enclosure that is overlooking one of our most popular watering hole. The sound of a running fountain will help to soothe away your cares as you watch the Sable and Sandhill Cranes drink and stroll around the watering hole. Find out more about the Foothill's Safari Camp.

Come On Along For The Ride!
You came... you saw... you drove. Want to see Fossil Rim from a whole new pespective? Let us show you around... take a tour! We have several to chose from, exclusive access to family fun, and a few things in-between.
Our Adventure Tour is as about as exclusive as you can get. One tour guide, one jeep and 1,700 acreas for you to explore. You get to go places no other tour goes and meet the people behind our animal's care. This is our longest tour, plus you get lunch at the Pavillion within Foothills Safari Camp. And don't forget the bragging rights... you went on an ADVENTURE!
Do you want to feed the animals and your family's heads? Try a Family Tour. You and your family will be whisked around the park in an open-air vehicle, by a trained tour guide that can tell you about every animal in the park... even the natives! So instead of being the "chauffeur" for your family's visit, join them in the back. We'll even let you ask a question or two... instead of having to try to answer them.
But wait, there's more! We have a Behind the Scenes Tour that takes you to the Intensive Management Area (off-limits on the Scenic Drive) to see animals that should have limited public interaction. Then there's the Feeding Tour, Photography Tours and even School/Youth/Senior Group Tours. So where ever your interestes lie, we have a tour that can make everyone happy.

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center is joining with other parks and nature centers in North Central Texas to present a "Nature Challenge".
We are challenging families to visit the participating centers and complete as many missions as possible within the 11 week time span. Each site will offer unique outdoor activities designed for family fun and nature exploration. Families will view native wildlife, do scavenger hunts and fossil digs, search for geocache treasures, dip their feet in creeks and rivers, and so much more while learning about nature and science in their own Texas neighborhoods! The families who visit the most sites and complete the missions will win great prizes and have a fabulous family fun-filled summer. Several participating organizations will be donating prizes. For those wanting to participate in this challenge you must first register at Texas Nature Challenge.
The Geocache Scavenger Challenge involves using a GPS unit to locate given coordinates in succession to find a hidden treasure!
The Fossil Dig and Children's Animal Center Scavenger Hunt takes guests on a 1/2 mile hike to a fossil site where you will look for fossils, you will then trek back to the Children's Animal Center for a scavenger hunt. (If the Children's Animal Center is closed due to renovation, an alternate activity will be substituted.) Reservations are required.
The Wildlife Scavenger Hunt requires each participant to pay admission price to enter the park and request a scavenger hunt form. You will have observation activities that you will do from inside your vehicle for the 9.5 mile scenic tour route. Once you are through the park, you return your form to the Admissions Center to be validated.
Mission Possible - You have now been challenged! See you soon.
