Did you know we have real reindeer in Kalamazoo?
This hidden gem is one of our favorite reindeer farms in Michigan.
With friendly, knowledgeable owners, hot cocoa, crafts, and visits with Santa, Reindeer Ranch is a must-see each holiday season.
In 2021, Reindeer Ranch upped its holiday tour game by adding a rustic, lighted walk through the woods.
This colorful light walk-through returns this year, and tours include weekend Santa visits.
