Summer and Autumn
Pet and feed the tamed reindeer and this year's newborn reindeer calves. Experience the joy as the reindeer come and eat from your hands, and feel how soft their fur and muzzle are when you stroke them. It's a wonderful activity for children!
Learn about the amazing characteristics of reindeer and how well adapted they are to survive in an Arctic climate. Did you know that reindeer, in some aspects, have better eyesight than us humans?
