The holiday season is here! A time for giving, connecting, and sharing experiences that make memories last a lifetime. This year, skip the ordinary gifts and surprise your loved ones with something truly meaningful: a gift that celebrates nature, conservation, and the magic of wildlife. Whether you’re shopping for the adventurer, the animal lover, or someone who simply appreciates unique experiences, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center has something for everyone on your list.
1. Gift a Safari Adventure
Perfect for: Families, friends, or anyone who loves animals and the outdoors.
There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Fossil Rim than with a safari tour. Choose between Self-Drive admission, where guests can explore the scenic 7.2-mile wildlife drive at their own pace, or a Guided Safari Tour, led by one of our knowledgeable tour guides who share fascinating insights about our animals and conservation efforts.
Both options are great for all ages and offer an unforgettable experience!
2. A Weekend Getaway at The Lodge at Fossil Rim
Perfect for: Couples, newlyweds, or anyone in need of a peaceful retreat.
Nestled within the heart of Fossil Rim’s 1,800 acres, The Lodge at Fossil Rim offers a quiet, cozy escape surrounded by nature. Gift a weekend stay for someone special and let them wake up to the sounds of wildlife just beyond their window. With four uniquely designed rooms and breathtaking views of the park, it’s an experience that blends comfort, serenity, and a touch of wilderness.
3. Holiday Exclusives from the Nature Store
Perfect for: Stocking stuffers, coworkers, and local gift lovers.
This season, the Nature Store is full of festive finds that can’t be purchased anywhere else! Pick up cozy pullovers and limited-edition ornaments, all inspired by Fossil Rim’s resident wildlife. Each purchase supports our conservation mission and helps care for the animals you love.
These items are only available in our Nature Store, so be sure to stop by during your next visit. You can also visit the Nature Store without entering the park by parking at Animal Discoveries (1789 Co Rd 2009, Glen Rose, TX 76043), just a short walk away.
4. Make a Difference with a Tribute Gift
Perfect for: The person who "has everything" or anyone passionate about animals and conservation.
For a truly meaningful gift, consider making a donation in someone’s name. Tribute Gifts directly support Fossil Rim’s animal care and conservation programs while honoring your loved one in a thoughtful way. You’ll not only give a heartfelt gift but also help protect endangered species and sustain the future of wildlife education.
