2 months agoVisiting the deer farm is an amazing experience! You can feed the animals, which is a delightful activity for all ages. The farm provides a wealth of information about each species. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and constantly interact with visitors, sharing fascinating facts about the animals. The farm is home to a variety of animals, including reindeer, alpacas, moose, miniature donkeys, bison, yaks, piglets, and horses. One of the highlights is the petting enclosure, where you can get up close and personal with the miniature donkeys and give them a gentle pat. This is a fantastic place for both adults and children. Make sure to include it in your itinerary!

2 months agoWe loved this place! Highly recommend! You can feed/pet the animals through the fence. Or take a specialized VIP tour and go with a guide into most pens to pet and feed animals. We spent a good 5 hrs here. So plan for a day trip. There are yaks, highland cows, elk, alpacas, moose, reptiles, reindeer, and more!
