Gift Shop

Welcome to the MARS Visitor Centre Gift Shop, where every purchase makes a difference to the lives of animals in need! Our shop is a great place to buy souvenirs and is a haven for those passionate about conservation and wildlife rehabilitation. We carry a wide assortment of eco-friendly merchandise and handcrafted goods from across Vancouver Island and the surrounding area.

From plush toys inspired by our resident animals to guides and tools for your own wildlife adventures, every item reflects our commitment to conservation. We carry books and guides for all ages about wildlife and nature. Kids’ toys and games are popular items as are our wildlife-safety products like window-collison tape and hummingbird feeder cleaning brushes. We also have MARS-branded clothing so you can wear your heart on your sleeve and show some love for wildlife!

Our knowledgeable staff and volunteers are always on hand to share stories about the animals we care for and the rehabilitation efforts underway. Beyond being a retail space, our Gift Shop serves as a vital source of support MARS Wildlife Rescue. With every purchase, customers directly contribute to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Whether it’s funding medical supplies, building enclosures, or providing nutritious food, the proceeds from our shop play a crucial role in giving animals a second chance at life in the wild. By shopping with us, visitors not only take home meaningful mementos but also become valued partners in our ongoing efforts to protect and preserve wildlife for generations to come.

We also run holiday pop-up markets hosting local handcrafted goods where you can find the perfect seasonal gift. Keep an eye on our socials for dates and times!
