This place is a family owned and operated. They put their heart and soul into this place. And they live these reindeer more than themselves. And they really love themselves. They also employ their relatives for all the fun and games. The souvenir shop always amazes me. 4 generations of my family have been here to visit and we all love it.

Stopped here for the first time today and we loved it! The weather was calling for rain, but we decided to chance it and glad we did! We were the only ones on our tour. The reindeer are super friendly and sweet. We got a bunch of snacks to feed them and headed to the gift shop after, which was also super cute. Highly recommend, especially for making a magical holiday season

Such a cute little place. Did the corn maze with a bunch of friends, was so fun despite the heat. The little christmas shop was super cute. I wish they had some proper drinks like cider or something for the hot days but they just had this smashed pumpkin pie with icecream and a donut on top. It was delicious but a whole lot of sweet assortments I guess. Would love to return and do the maze in moonlight, if not for the horror movies I watched

Our visit to the Reindeer Ranch was absolutely wonderful! It’s a charming little farm that truly captures the magic of the season — the perfect blend of fun, learning, and festive spirit.
The reindeer tour was one of the highlights. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about these beautiful animals. They shared so many interesting facts, and you can tell they genuinely love and care for their reindeer. It was both educational and heartwarming to see them up close.
The ranch offers much more than just the reindeer tour! We enjoyed a relaxing hayride around the property, taking in the beautiful fall scenery and decorations. There’s also a petting zoo with rabbits, goats, and other friendly animals that children absolutely adore, along with a tricycle riding area for the little ones to burn off some energy.
Their gift shop is full of charming Christmas ornaments and seasonal items — a great place to pick up unique decorations or gifts. And when you’re ready for a break, there’s a cozy little food area where you can enjoy a warm bowl of chili, hot dogs, sandwiches, or a comforting cup of hot apple cider. Everything about it feels like fall and the holidays rolled into one.
We had such an enjoyable time and left feeling festive and happy. This will definitely be a yearly tradition for us — visiting in the fall for pumpkins and gourds, and again as the Christmas season begins. The Reindeer Ranch is a must-visit for families looking for a wholesome, fun, and memorable outing! 🎃🎅
