Our visit was fun and interesting. You can get out into the reindeer area and feed them. The other animals you see are in a fenced area. You can feed them through the fence.
Nice opportunity to get up close with reindeer.It's a kind of petting zoo. You walk between the animals and you can feed and pet them.The guides tell lots of interesting facts about the reindeer.There are also some elk at the farm. You can feed them but you can not get close to them.Price is 8 $, which is reasonable.
The reindeer farm is a must when you visit the greater Anchorage area. It's a unique experience to be in the pen feeding the reindeer. My husband and I loved it and our kids are always asking when we're going back.
We very much enjoyed our visit to this Reindeer Farm, we even learned that a Reindeer is actually a domesticated caribou. The lady that gave us our tour knew all the Reindeer and had names for most all of them and knew their different personalities. You could tell that she loves the animals and her job of teaching the visitors about them. This place is well worth the admission price and the time spent visiting this attraction
This Reindeer Farm in Palmer, Alaska is a unique opportunity to feed, pet, and walk among these gentle animals. They looked me in the eye and even seemed to want to pose for pictures. A cup of food is given to each visitor to feed to the reindeer so they follow you around wanting more. I walked in the center of a large group of reindeer with no fear as the gentle animals touched me and ate from my hands. Since I live within a couple of miles of this farm, I visit them every year. You are not allowed in the fence with the elks, however you can feed them grass through the fence. There used to be a moose around but I didn't wee him this summer. You can go horse back riding on the trails and several employees give plenty of helpful information. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity if you visit the Mat-Su Valley in Alaska.
Stopped on our way from Denali to Anchorage. Perfect little detour. Fed reindeer from our hand in the pen. Super cool for the kids (9-12). Saw a 2 hr old baby elk. Fed elk too. Taught the kids how to catch & hold a chicken & baby rabbits. Pony rides or horse trail rides too. Cheap stop & takes as much time you want. One of the kids most favorites from the whole trip.
The Reindeer Farm is South of Palmer, down the old Glenn Hwy. The fun part is you get to go out among the Reindeer and feed them by hand. You get a little lecture about them and their history, before you actually get to get in the field with them. It's fun time for all.
If you can get to visit this place do it. The tour guides are great and being in the pen and feeding these animals is so much fun. They are gentle and lovable, not scary at all. I can say enough how fantastic this experience was!!We even got to feed the elk though you don't get to go into the pen with them.
We fed the reindeer and the caribou it was fun the animals where quite friendly and we learned a lot about them
We loved our visit to the reindeer farm. What a unique and affordable attraction. The reindeer walk right up and feeding them is an incredible opportunity to do something out of the ordinary. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions perfectly. We also enjoyed seeing the elk and feeding them. We did not opt for the horse rides but the horses are beautiful. Must do in my opinion!
