Some things are worth holding onto. When Seaport Village opened its doors on the shores of beautiful San Diego Bay in 1980, Safari Animal Collection was there — and we've been here ever since. As the only original shop still standing in Seaport Village, we carry more than just merchandise. We carry over 45 years of memories, of families browsing our shelves, of children wide-eyed over a favorite plush, and of visitors from around the world finding that one perfect piece that speaks to their love of animals.

We are a proudly family owned and operated business, and that heart shows in everything we do. From cuddly plush animals that spark a child's imagination, to handcrafted jewelry, wind chimes, toys, charms, and accessories — every item in our collection is chosen with genuine love and a deep passion for the creatures we share this planet with. Whether you're searching for a gift, a keepsake, or simply something that makes you smile, you'll find it here.
