There are numerous ways to enjoy
the park. One is driving it in your
own vehicle, allowing a leisurely
drive through the park at your own
pace while seeing some of your
favorite animals. But we recommend
a guided tour, one with a driver to
navigate the roads, allowing you to
enjoy time with your family and take
memory-capturing photos. The guid-
ed tours are a fantastic way to take in
the park, and be educated by knowl-
edgeable guides about the animals
you’re feeding. With a wide selection
of tours, visitors are able to learn
animal and park knowledge from the
highly-trained guides. The two-hour
guided tour is recommended for all
ages, and is the perfect opportunity
to listen to the stories of the park and
the animals that roam its rich prairie.
The behind–the-scenes tours are
a fantastic experience that allows
visitors to experience parts of the
park not visited on the scenic tour.
The behind-the-scenes tour will not
only take you through a guided tour
around the park, but will allow you
to view the animals in their Intensive
Management Area. With this area
being off-limits to drive-through
guests, you will get a special look
that most people aren’t allowed to
see.
With the wide variety of tours, a
children’s area and petting zoo, as
well as a restaurant that serves kid-
friendly cuisine, Fossil Rim is a place
for parents to survive the hyena days
of summer. Go to fossilrim.org for
more information.
