About This Adventure

Experience the magic of reindeer at The Reindeer Grove in this 30-minute Meet and Feed adventure! Perfect for families, enjoy feeding the reindeer, taking memorable photos, and learning fascinating facts about these enchanting creatures. Engage with our friendly staff and leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of reindeer.

This 30 minute Reindeer Meet and Feed experience is our most accessible (great for families with kids and/or seniors!) experience that we offer at The Reindeer Grove. It's a quick and easy introduction to our reindeer, our story, and also includes a complementary beverage, the ability to feed the ‘deer, photo opportunities, and more than likely a chance to pet our resident reindeer. However, our reindeer always reserve the right to have a cranky day where humans should give them some space. Along the way, you’ll be regaled with fun and interesting facts about reindeer, what it takes to raise reindeer in Alaska, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any question that might arise regarding these magical creatures. You’ll walk away from this tour with a better than basic knowledge of reindeer, incredible photos, and an interaction to remember!
