Description
Nestled in the snowy Matanuska Valley, the Reindeer Farm in Palmer offers a truly Alaskan experience—one part education, one part magic. This guided one-hour tour lets guests meet and feed up to forty reindeer while learning about their lives from expert guides who care for them year-round. You’ll stroll through the snowy pastures with views of Pioneer Peak, take photos, and watch these curious creatures gently nibble feed from your hand. The adventure doesn’t end there—other residents like moose, yak, bison, and alpacas make friendly appearances, too. Tours run from September through April by appointment only, ensuring an intimate, hands-on visit. Dress warmly, as all activities take place outdoors in authentic Alaskan winter conditions. Afterward, guests can warm up in the gift shop with hot cocoa and browse locally made reindeer-themed souvenirs. Family-run and welcoming, the Reindeer Farm combines conservation, education, and holiday cheer into a one-of-a-kind encounter you’ll remember long after the snow melts.
