Working farm with reindeer petting & feeding experiences, plus horseback & winter sled rides.
This is a gem of a place! Was fun to see and learn about so many different types of animals- reindeer, moose, alpacas, and more. We met a young staff member who did an awesome job educating us about alpacas! She knew so much and shared the information with pure joy and excitement! The animals look so well cared for and the grounds were well set up. Thanks for a great visit!
