1 / 2Sustainable Safari
š Maplewood, MN
Sustainable Safari inside Maplewood Mall houses 200+ animals across 98+ species including red kangaroos, capybaras, African porcupines, and pygmy goats. Entry includes a free feeding cup; paid upgrades add holding and feeding experiences.
They take great care of their animals and swap them out so no animal gets too stressed from the atmosphere of the mall, BTW tbh it's it's own quite little corner! Prices aren't bad and you get a free small feeding cup with entry! Wife variety of animals and you can pay extra for a holding or feeding of different animals! Love this place! Def less busy during the weekdays but still great wherever!
š Family Action Verdict
Best for children aged 2 through 10 who respond well to close-up animal contact. The free feeding cup on entry gives younger kids an immediate hands-on moment. Families seeking deeper interaction can book capybara or alligator add-ons in advance.

āIf I could give this company less than one star, I would. We took our grandson there, and I felt so sad for these animals and no natural sunlight The place was just a money racket It smelt so bad I wish people would not support this place. Animals belong in nature outside sunlight just like any thing livingā
