Animals in a Mall? Yes, in Maplewood, Minnesota!

Being the animal lover that she is, Sarah made sure we visited Sustainable Safari in the Maplewood Mall in Maplewood, Minnesota which offers a most unusual experience for shoppers: Animals ranging from goats to capyburas to kangeroos and chickens and alligators.
Sustainable Safari offers the very unique mall attraction!

Nothing as innocent and lovely as two things, children and animals. Thank you for taking us along sir and ma’am. Much respect.

[@jbenziggy]

Our pleasure! Happy to know you liked the animals!

[@ItsJustLisa]

They used to do this as a pop-up at the mall. I love that they have a space now. I need to go up there more often.

[@Corgis175]

Some really unusual but beautiful animals. The kanagroo liked Sarah. So beautiful all these creatures.

[@lolaartellano893]

So glad you guys were able to stop by and see the animals

[@sherrycarney4924]

[@karenvecchio4455]

Sarah is in her Glory with the animals

[@CameronMcCreary]

Thank you three for showing us this remarkable zoo in a mall. I just hope the animals get out for exercise.

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

They get time on a local farm.

[@karenvecchio4455]

Enjoyed this

[@rhondaz356]

Awww, this was so sweet. It looks like Sarah's family is as kind, and fond of animals as she is. a great place 🏡🙏🏻🦛🦡🌞💛

[@marceyvogt2007]

What an awesome place. The animals are so cute. It must have been hard for Sarah to leave. Thank you.☮️💖🎶

[@HollywoodGraham]

Sarah must have been in seventh heaven being with all those different animals.I give a double Thumbs Up to Sustainable Safari too.

[@jbenziggy]

She certainly comes alive when she’s able to visit animals. I think it brings out her inner child. I love watching it too.

[@user-rz2rs3ur1n]

Sarah is enjoying these animals.

So cool!

[@marilynkirby-roach187]

This is so cool. Thanks for taking us along.

[@brianbabey]

It's an amazing place with wonderful staff. The Bearcat when we were there really loves John one of the staff members. You can tell they are happy and btw the Cappy's had babies! Well worth the cost.

[@jbenziggy]

We agree! Thanks for your feedback! With the cost of admission, it isn’t unreasonable at all!

[@mikewhite2aadvocacy172]

For Sarah, this was heaven.

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

So many great animals to interact with.

[@redmccoy8633]

How cute are these animals. They are awesome. They have a great setup. I'm impressed 👏. I'm sure Sarah had a blast. I loved the baby in the pouch. Soooo cute 😍 Thanks for the tour.

[@sharylcherwa7369]

Sarah was in Heaven! You can Definitely tell when she's in her Element. Than you Jeff for taking Sarah here❤

[@jbenziggy]

Wild horses couldn’t keep her away! LOL

Jeff, I have enjoyed all your videos and learned so much! This video has to be one of my favorites! Like Sarah, I am a huge animal lover. Watching Sarah, her sister, mom and nephew interact with the animals is priceless! ❤

Awesome! Thank you!

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi all....zoo in doors ... awesome....the animals are so cute...loved the Kangaroos....feeding them looked like fun....hope no one was bitten LoL.....thanks for the video.....take care..... Deborah 🇨🇦

[@jbenziggy]

Sarah was actually bitten by one of the wallabies! She is okay though.

[@rcdyer]

Funny, the Capybara sounds like a combination hedge trimmer and jack hammer.

[@chrisdaniel5004]

That’s awesome!!! 👍

[@jbenziggy]

It sure is!

[@douglasmcbryan3705]

Looks like fun. Nancy

[@dianejohnson7235]

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

Sarah in critter heaven :) not as good as otters all over her but Sarah is a happy happy person :) Love it Jeff and Sarah Thankyou

[@pryme2013]

I grew up two blocks from this mall. We used to ride bikes down there as kids. My bike was stolen from there when I was young. It was a pretty good area in the 80’s and a so-so area in the 90’s and a short step above bad currently.

[@jbenziggy]

Isn’t that sad what some of our cities are becoming? San Francisco is s*** hole now.

Great bonus episode Jeff and Sarah, nice one. Also good to see you got some Australian culture there 🙂

That is so awesome!

[@briannave7326]

Some of the animals I’ve never seen before, interesting video.

[@jbenziggy]

Most unusual aren’t they? The big capybara seemed huge to me, like oversized rodents!

[@peanut_trucker]

Sarah happy place 😂 i bet she spent all day there safe travels buddy thanks for sharing

[@MrBucidart]

Great vid, ty for sharing

[@jbenziggy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@douglasmcbryan3705]

We were driving a secondary road in rural Kansas a couple of years ago and came across a random farm full of African animals. You never know what you will run into on the road. Nancy

[@stevestreet2825]

Played golf in Queensland Roo was my help love them

[@alanatolstad4824]

I'd never heard of a binturong, so looked it up! It looks like something Dr.Suess would have created!---Very nice visit this morning.

Thank you very much!

Maplewood Mall used to be THE place to go to especially during the 80s. My Mother brought us to the outlet store instead. LOL Sondra from St. Paul.

[@jbenziggy]

Most malls in our country are dying as to Amazon.

I see Sarah liked the salad to at the end there🙂👍

[@kennithnieman9130]

Hey Jeff I was surprised the other day when I recognized you on a episode of pawn stars I imagine most of it was a stage and happy to see you not get burned, 😆🤣.

[@jbenziggy]

Ha ha! Those were quite old by now. They are still running those reruns eh?

[@lindalangley5982]

Good to see you Sarah I know by the headlines today that you would be there I hope you're doing well

[@carolynpurser7469]

Oh this is my kind of mall!

[@davidl9372]

If it is well run and the animals are rotated back to the farm, it is a great way for families to spent time together.

[@jbenziggy]

They are very well taken care of and never lonely!

[@swansfan6944]

I love❤animals and I’ve also been a vegetarian since I was 5 yrs old, that’s 50 yrs now. So many nasty hurtful people in the world now, they could take a lesson from the animals. 😁 Thanks Jeff and Sarah. ❤️Jodie. 🇦🇺

[@frankmarullo228]

Good job on this one Jeff. THANK you FRANK FROM MONTANA..... I would like to have some of those animals , we can own any of those in Montana .

It was great to see Sarah have such a good time at this Mall zoo. I know she loves animals and it looked like she was enjoying herself. See you tomorrow. Jeff!

[@renar3618]

How cool is that?! Were those kangaroos or wallabies? What was the little critter with the capybara? Sarah, you're the only person, other than myself, who I've heard say "scritches". One of my cats loves tummy scritches.

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

There were both kangaroo and wallaby. The critter with the big capybara was a Cavy a Patagonian mara. Critters bring out the sweet talk they love scritches 😊

[@aussiegoer]

Nice one jeff…..looks like the have Roos and wallabies there…😉🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

Yes they did & they were both very affectionate. One wallaby got a bit feisty with me when I stopped given scratches.

Maybe Sarah should start an animal channel.

[@rottonm7470]

Sarah is sweet.

[@dam00k]

“If You want a friend feed any animal”-Jane’s Addiction. Exploitive but they seem fat and happy. Some scritchin’ and treats would seem better to me than being eaten by something bigger, mean and toothy. Zoo’s and aquariums that serve as wildlife protectors through proliferation and education get a bad rap, IMO.

[@octane2099]

I wish we had this near, I bet your wife was in paradise

Not your usual vid. Sarah, those kisses were probably attempts to get salt from your skin. Still posting tomorrow, J?

Stuck in a mall

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

Not ideal for sure. They also spend time at a farm that is local.

[@reginamay2767]

Thanks for sharing this but I have mixed feelings because animals should be outside and not indoors in a zoo I'm sorry I just don't agree with that I feel sorry for them being trapped like that.

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

I have the same feelings. They do get to spend time outside at a nearby farm. Not all their time is spent in the mall.

[@lilli63]

This is NOT the kind of environment animals, of any kind, should have. This is just horrible!!! Animals are NOT entertainment for peoples pleasure. No true friend of animals can enjoy this. This is awful and heartbreaking. 😢😢😢😢💔💔💔

[@BlueSky-eb7ru]

It really bothers me to see wild animals penned up like that .. They belong in the great outdoors .. This is the first time Im not watching to the end of your video . I normally state ' Very good ' on your videos , but not this time

[@HistoryHunterSarah]

I understand completely. Not ideal for the animals. They don't spend their whole lives here. They spend time on a local farm as well.
