Ancient Worlds Unearthed at Fossil Lake Safari Near Kemmerer
Near Kemmerer, Wyoming, a unique adventure is drawing visitors into one of the world’s most fossil-rich landscapes. The private Fossil Lake Safari offers participants a rare chance to step directly into Earth’s deep past, where layers of sediment preserve the remains of ancient fish, plants, insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Set against sweeping plains and distant mountain views, the site blends scientific wonder with the thrill of outdoor exploration.
Guided by experienced experts, visitors learn how this prehistoric ecosystem once flourished millions of years ago. As participants carefully split rock layers, each discovery becomes a moment of anticipation—revealing fossils that have remained hidden since ancient times. The guides provide context and explanation, helping guests understand how these long-extinct species lived and interacted within their environment.
What sets the experience apart is its hands-on, immersive nature. Guests are encouraged to actively dig, search, and uncover fossils themselves, transforming the outing into both an educational journey and an exciting treasure hunt. Every shard of stone holds the possibility of revealing a perfectly preserved relic of prehistoric life, making each moment in the field both meaningful and memorable.
By the end of the day, visitors leave not only with fossils they have personally discovered and are allowed to keep, but also with a deeper appreciation for Earth’s distant history. Families and groups share in the joy of exploration, carrying home tangible reminders of their experience. The Fossil Lake Safari ultimately offers more than discovery—it delivers a lasting connection to a world that existed millions of years before our own.

Customer Reviews
It’s not an amazing zoo but it’s nice! Do not prioritise it if you are a tourist. Lovely place for a day out with family. Places to eat available and also spaces for picnics. Fun events during the year, specifically at Christmas.
It rained and it was still a great experience. Animals came into their indoor enclosures because of the rain and you could see them all through the observation area. They are so well cared for.
A really fun day out around lunch time! The animals are really cool and the staff are kind and you’ll often find them and they’ll tell you about some of the rare and endangered animals they have. There’s plenty of WC, seating areas, food and more. Really enjoyed my visit and we were there for 3 hours without boredom! There’s a farm included in the zoo experience as well as a small reptile house showing a crocodile and a very impressive dinosaur fossil! There was also very little foot traffic and the place was quiet so we didn’t have to worry about queues or people spoiling photos.
