Although located a bit outside of Granbury, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center is well worth the short drive. This 1,800-acre wildlife preserve is home to a variety of exotic and endangered species from around the world, including cheetahs, giraffes, and zebras. Visitors can take a guided safari tour or explore the park on their own, driving through the habitat to observe the animals in their natural surroundings. It’s an educational and exciting experience, making it an ideal day trip for nature and animal lovers.
