Join us for a trip to Glen Rose with
the opportunity to view, learn about, and inter-
act with some of the world’s most endangered
animals. Visit a 2700 acre wildlife conservation
facility, home tomore than 1000 exotic animals.
Along the ten mile scenic Wildlife Drive are cheetahs, giraffes,
Grevy’s, zebras, kudu, addax and white rhinoceroses plus over
60 other species.
Before the tour, we will sit at the overlook for our catered lunch.
Sandwich choice (at time of ticket purchase): roast beef with horse-
radish cheddar on whole wheat multigrain bread OR rotisserie
chicken salad on a croissant. Chips, cookie and bottled water are
included. After lunch, we will get into open-air tour vehicles with
our extremely knowledgeable guides. Be prepared to experience
ostriches and giraffes, among others, coming close enough to look
you in the eye! We’ll be so close that we’ll be able to feed them.
Thenwe’re off toWaco to see theMammoth Site. These animals
are not nearly as lively as the ones in Glen Rose because they’ve
been extinct for thousands of years! The site includes a breath-
taking dig shelter that creates an art gallery-like atmosphere.
Natural light floods in from all directions, and a suspended
walkway provides a stunning overhead view of the mammoths.
Note: Be prepared for the weather of the day. Bring hats
and sunscreen if necessary. Don’t forget your camera!
Ticket cost includes transportation, lunch, admissions and guides,
and food for the animals.
