About this place
Running Reindeer Ranch is a family-run farm just north of Fairbanks that leads small guided walks through the birch-filled boreal forest alongside its herd of reindeer. Kids and parents walk right alongside the animals, watching them leap through the trees, and get the chance to pet them and ask questions about how reindeer survive Alaska's polar climate. Guides share stories about the herd's personalities and daily life on the ranch, and past visitors mention the staff being patient with young children's curiosity and even handing out mosquito repellent for the walk. The experience has worked well for families with kids as young as five and groups with teenagers alike, making it a hands-on nature outing rather than a typical petting zoo.
