We’ve been to Sustainable Safari and loved it – read about our experience:

So many animals!!!!

That’s what we thought when we visited Sustainable Safari in Maplewood for the first time. We could have spent all day here with the animals! There were so many!

And many animals were soooo cute. Like the baby goat that “baaaa’d” so sweet. And the baby kangaroo that actually wore a diaper (heehee). And the otters that made the cutest squeaks as they climbed all over us.

Sustainable Safari is an interactive animal experience in Maplewood Mall. It’s truly a unique experience here in Minnesota as nothing else offers an up-close and interactive experience with animals from around the world. You can feed or hold almost all animals including red kangaroos, fennec foxes, and alligators!

I had no idea what to expect but it was seriously hours and hours of fun. We were there almost 3 hours and could have spent many more here! It was a wild adventure but safely indoors so it’s perfect for year-round fun.

They have over 200 animals to feed and pet. Admission is $16.50 and includes a $2.00 feed cup and ALL-DAY Safari entry. Kids 4 and under are FREE! (Seniors, military, first responders and educators get $2.00 off.)

They also have other experiences you can add on – where you can interact more with the animals. Or you can do the whole “Guided Safari Tour” where you get all possible interactive experiences with the animals!!!! You get tokens to exchange for an experience with each type of animal. (Note that there is a minimum age requirement for some experiences – kids have to be at least age 5 or 10 for some.)

What else should you know?

I talked a long time with one of owners, Safari Bob, and learned about the story of the place. It’s a family-owned business. They truly care about the animals and they all get to spend time in the sun and open air! They even have a farm that animals get to go to.

They are very well-cared for!

They get fed of course by visitors, but also get fed regularly morning and night to make sure they get the nutrition they need. The staff know the animals SO well and the animals know them well too!

There are wildlife shows every day, and a mobile zoo that goes to schools and other places.

I could see that Safari Bob and his team of in-house educators and caretakers are super passionate about animals with a goal to create a place where people can learn and experience the animals, learn about sustainability, and how to support each species while also having fun!

Sustainable Safari also has many sustainable practices in place including biodegradable feed cups, repurposed cardboard bedding, and plush animals made from recycled plastic. So much here is truly designed to be good for everyone including the environment.
