Introducing the Safe Haven Animal Discovery Experience!

Safe Haven Animal Discovery Experience is pleased to announce our plans to bring a new, family friendly zoological experience to Brunswick County, North Carolina.  Located conveniently off of highway 211, between Southport and Supply, we have officially broken ground on this exciting project.  

Safe Haven Animal Discovery Experience invites visitors to "Step into the SHADE," where we encourage guests to be inspired by the natural world, empowered to make a difference in it, and contribute directly towards our conservation efforts with our Quarters for Conservation program.  

Mario and Meri Lawrence and bringing their combined experience of over 25 years in the animal industry home to North Carolina, as Mario grew up right here in Brunswick County. Mario's experience in zoological operations and formal primary education combined with Meri's experience in animal training and wildlife education presentations will bring a unique, hands-on educational opportunity to both locals and tourists alike.  A place where everyone's inner child can marvel at the natural wonders of our world and leave with a desire to make our planet better for future generations.  

We invite you to follow our progress on this journey.  Those of you wishing to donate to facility construction can do so directly on our webpage.  We also offer sponsorship opportunities for those wishing to contribute directly to a certain species or exhibit.  

Be sure to "like" us on Facebook to follow our progress there as well!

Thanks so much for checking us out.  We hope to see you soon.
