Located about an hour outside of the DFW Metroplex, full of adventure, Glen Rose is the perfect getaway with something for everyone.

For the explorers, take a step back in time and explore our Dinosaur Tracks, take a horseback ride or hike the trails at Dinosaur Valley State Park. Take a peek at our Petrified Wood Buildings along our quiet country roads, tube, kayak, or fish the rivers and visit our Big Rocks! Feed a giraffe, check out the cheetah, and be wild about Wildebeest at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. Enjoy the arts and music scene (If you didn’t know, we ARE the Bluegrass Capital of Texas!). Grab a show at the Texas Amphitheatre or explore our rich history and take a tour through our many museums or self-guided walking tour.

Looking for relaxation? Take a leisurely stroll along our scenic River Walk, wade in the Paluxy River, breathe in the fresh air, take in some bird watching and find a golden-cheeked warbler, be awed by the giant sky full of stars or catch 36 holes at Squaw Valley Golf Course. There are so many ways to find your happy place here!

Hungry? Bring out your inner foodie! With no big chain, and limited fast-food restaurants in Glen Rose, you’ll have a wide variety of amazing local fare to enjoy! Have a BIG burger, a delicious Italian dinner, smoky BBQ, or down-home delights among the many options. For dessert, enjoy a slice of pie that grandma would approve of, a classic handcrafted soda, towering ice cream sundae, or enjoy a glass of local wine on our quaint historic square.

There’s too much to do in just a day! Did we mention we have Dinosaur Tracks?? Let us help you plan your overnight stay.  Call our office at 254-897-3081!
