We were in the area and decided to visit the Reindeer Farm. It was an exceptional experience. Our guide, who's grandfather owns the farm, had exceptional passion for the animals and spent lots of time with our tour answering questions and allowing us to feed the animals. They also have a herd of Elk, a Moose, a Buffalo and lots... More

Visited the Reindeer Farm for a hands-on experience with Alaskan animals. It's about a 45 minute drive from Anchorage. We got there shortly after they opened for the day (10am) and that worked out well because the elk were really hungry and ready to eat. We fed them first while we waited for the tour to begin. Also got the... More

My daughter and I loved the reindeer and staff. It is in a beautiful part of the world and very family friendly. I even had the opportunity of kissing the Moose. This involves placing a carrot in your mouth and letting the moose take it from you. There was also a very large bison but he was a little shy.

The view alone is worth the paltry admission fee, but you get a guided tour though the pens with a moose, bison and reindeer who are only interested in the kibble the guide hands you to feed them. We saw a deer calf that had been born that morning! They also offer horseback rides.

We had so much fun feeding the reindeer and see a moose upclose. Kids will have a lot of fun here. There were elk, horses, caribou, reindeer. You are given a briefing on the animals and then taken inside the pen. With a small bowl of grain in hand, you will find the reindeer doing everything to get to you.... More

We went here on our last day in Alaska and it was worth it. It was so fun to see the animals and here the guides tell us all about them. It was worth the measly $7.00. We got to feed elk, and reindeer and even a bull moose. I almost insist you stop by here.

This would be a favorite place for kids or anyone that like moose. The staff was very nice & it was well worth the small cost.

Our tour guide was enthusiastic and informative. We got to spend as much time as we wanted with the reindeer and the bison--and I got to nuzzle with their bull moose Denali. It was a muddy, rainy, cold day, and non of that mattered once we got there. For the reviewers saying this is a sad place, I would remind... More

What a wonderful surprise this attraction was. We took our two grandsons and their parents and we all had a terrific time. The reindeer were very friendly and eager to eat the food we offered. The staff was informative and the animals were in good health. Reindeer are caribou that are in capacitivty. This herd has been on this farm... More
