We are excited to announce that we are offering Reindeer Encounters at the farm for the first time. We can’t wait to share our love of reindeer with you all.
Guests will learn about reindeer, get to hold shed antlers, have photos in an authentic sleigh and will get to go inside the reindeer enclosure for an up close and magical experience with our herd. Take your own pictures throughout the experience.
What’s included
Check In with us for your scheduled encounter at the main gate. We will then walk over to our Briefing Barn where we will go over safety and educational information about these majestic animals. THEN get ready to meet some of our reindeer herd!
There will also be the opportunity to meet some of the other animals which live onsite too.
Guidance:
- Arrive for your scheduled encounter 10 minutes early.
- All children under 3 must be held while in the reindeer area.
- No pushchairs or car seats inside the reindeer pen.
- Must listen to staff directions at all times.
- You are participating at your own risk.
- Goats and sheep can carry a virus which is fatal to our reindeer. If you have been around goats/sheep, you must change your clothes and shoes before visiting the farm.
- Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket.
- Dogs are not permitted
- The tours will take place in all weather conditions so please dress appropriately for being outside.
Some of the terrain is uneven, with grass slopes. Off road type prams / pushchairs would be suitable but wheelchairs may struggle to get up and down slopes. This is our first year of opening and we will look at making the experience more wheelchair accessible in the future.
We also will ask you to walk over a disinfectant mat on arrival.
