The holidays are a magical time of year in Kentucky, and we have everything from Christmas towns and trains to amazing light displays and festivals. But there’s one event that takes the holiday spirit to another level entirely, inviting Santa’s very own reindeer to the party! The Reindeer Farm is easily the most unique holiday attraction in Kentucky, and sure to become your new favorite festive tradition!
The North Pole has nothing on the Bluegrass State.

Because contrary to popular belief, Santa’s reindeer don’t all reside in the North Pole; they live at The Reindeer Farm in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

This small, family-owned farm in bucolic Bowling Green is owned by Jessica and Russell Anderson, who came up with the idea to start a reindeer farm five years ago after the birth of their third child.

Reindeer (also known as caribou) are modern-day mythical creatures; a species of deer that are native to northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. They cannot be found in the wild in the contiguous U.S., which makes this Bluegrass farm extra special.

The Reindeer Farm opens for visitors Nov. 19, inviting all to come and get up-close with their seven reindeer. (Yes – seven. Santa has a few stragglers still up in the North Pole… they’ll join the team in time for Christmas Eve, though!)
