COME FOR THE DINOSAURS. STAY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.

Some places invite you to slow down, reconnect, and make memories that last a lifetime. Glen Rose is one of those places. Along the banks of the Paluxy River, you’ll discover prehistoric wonders, breathtaking scenery, authentic Texas hospitality, and adventures for every age. Walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs at Dinosaur Valley State Park, experience endangered wildlife up close at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, explore family-friendly attractions, and enjoy a destination where history and adventure come together.

But Glen Rose is more than dinosaurs. Stroll our historic downtown, browse unique boutiques and art galleries, savor local flavors, paddle the river, hike scenic trails, tee off on championship golf courses, or take in live music and year-round festivals. Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer, you’ll quickly discover why visitors return again and again.

Come for the dinosaurs. Stay for everything else..
