"Great place to see Santa. Laid back, no frills setting. You get to learn about the reindeer and enjoy festive decor and then visit Santa. The Santa was very good, and since the tours operate in small groups, there is no rush."
"Santa was so kind and understanding with my special needs child. Besides the cold weather and all the grownups talking my children really enjoyed themselves."
"We had a great evening at the Reindeer Ranch! It was fun to meet and pet the reindeer. The property and facilities are well kept and clean. The animals are well taken care of and its obvious that the owners take a lot of pride in their work. I was able to go with my niece and it was fun seeing her reaction to the reindeer and lights. She wasn't able to meet Santa but that was just because of our schedule, and no fault of the owners'. I've heard from other families that they have an amazing Santa. There's a nice little gift shop and I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. There's also free hot cocoa and a nice nature walk through the woods; if you go at night you can see a light show during the walk."
"Good little place. Fun and informative. Don't be late but 10 minutes early is enough as there isn't other activities other than the tour. Santa was great."
"The experience of going here and the knowledge that I walked away with was amazing. We went there not knowing what to expect, reindeer farms aren't everywhere, the guide is also the owner of the farm and she shared a lot of information about the reindeer. The tour group was my family and one other family. The experience of touching a reindeer and watching them play was the best ever. The owner spends a lot of time caring for her reindeer and knows all about every one of them. My son had the best time ever. They also have several different backgrounds and set ups to take pictures at."
