🦒🌿Fossil Rim Wildlife Center: A Safari Dream Near Dallas

Escape the city and roar into the wild at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center—a 2-hour drive from Dallas that feels like a world away! 🚗💨 My recent visit (before the heat returned!) was a magical reunion with nature, especially those majestic giraffes. 🦒✨ 🦒 Giraffes: Nature’s Runway Models Feeding these gentle giants up close? Life-changing. Their lashes are longer than my eyeliner goals, and those eyes? Deep, soulful pools that make you whisper, “Who hurt you, beautiful?” 😍 💔 Pro tip: Hold the feed pellets flat—their tongues are surprisingly dexterous! 🦌 Spotted Fawns: The Park’s Charmers My heart? Stollen by a white-spotted fawn. It leaped like a TikTok dance challenge, all mischief and sunshine. If cuteness were currency, this little guy would own Dallas. 💸🐾 📍 The Essentials Address: 2299 Co Rd 2008, Glen Rose, TX 76043 Hours: 8:30 AM–3:30 PM (7 days/week!)
