Fossil Rim!

I love taking trips to the zoo and petting zoos. It’s fun to just look at the animals lounging around. of course, in conventional zoos, there’s never more than 10 animals a cage, and you’re never allowed to pet the animals.
Meet Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, located up by Dallas. At Fossil Rim, herds of Oryx, deer, Zebras, and Antelope roam over 1,000 acres of Texas woodland. Visitors are allowed to drive through the park in their car on a 9-mile long drive. If the animals come up, you can feed them. Vistors can even spend a night in parts of the park! 
Fossil Rim has over 50 species of animals living on the land, including Giraffes, Zebras, Rhinos, Cheetahs, and Waterbuck. Most can be hand-fed, so long as you stay in the car.
When I’ve gone, The Giraffes have come up to the car, and stuck their heads inside! The Zebras are known to surround cars, demanding food. The herds of Red Deer are huge, and very friendly.
Here's some pictures:
