Last year I gave the Reindeer Farm a 1 star because Trip Advisor had the wrong address listed. I was frustrated and gave it one star. I found out later that this was not the fault of the Reindeer Farm but rather Tripadvisor's fault. I haven't been to the Reindeer Farm but I would love to go, and I apologize... More

little kids either love feeding the reindeer or scream. Also my friend Yvonne, who should be a grandmother by now, she also screamed. I have great fun taking out of sttate visitors there see how they will react. More

We had a great time at this farm! We were able to get in the pen with the reindeer and hand feed them. The reindeer were very gentle (even with our ten-year old) and so cute up close. The fee was very reasonable. We spent about 45 minutes feeding and taking pictures of the animals. Fun time! More

The time with the reindeer seemed a little rushed. There wasn't a whole lot else to see at the time we were there. More

I was surprised at how gentle they are. We went on a field trip with our preschool. They were able to walk around them and feed them. I was a bit nervous with their antlers but they seemed to sense it and were very careful. They also had a moose there too. Beautiful surroundings and if your a hiker go... More

The Reindeer Farm is pretty cool. You get to see elk, reindeer, and moose. It is really cool to get to feed reindeer. But, the really amazing experience is getting to feed moose! This experience alone is worth admission; it the real world, a moose would have flattened anyone that attempted to get this close! More

My husband and I are both over 50 but we really enjoyed this attraction! At $7.00 it has to be the best value in Alaska. We got to feed the reindeer and give the moose some willow. Also got close up with some elk and a darling bison called Dolly. I want my own reindeer now! They are gorgeous creatures... More

Feeding the reindeer is good fun, as is getting up close with their very large resident bull moose. The tour guide was very informative and the only negative was our own fault - we should have worn shoes more suited to the mud! More
