We were traveling to Mall of America area for a couple days, and I scrolled through Groupon looking for deals. I’m so glad we found this place! Sustainable Safari has great employees (especially Julia) who seem to really enjoy their jobs. Feeding the animals was so much fun, and getting to hold them was very memorable for my family!

This place is worth a visit! The fact that it's located in a dying mall made it more appealing to us because my family hates crowds. Fair pricing especially considering other experiences like this. Employees were all friendly and helpful. Variety of animals and interaction is very impressive for this small space. Very nice they don't charge for 4 and under. If you go online and find coupons, makes the visit even more worth it. If this was in Mall of America, the place wouldn't have been bearable to due to over crowding. This is the perfect little spot at Burnsville Center. Also, the staff doesn't over supervise which is really nice for respectful adults! We likely would go back on a cold or rainy day.
