Ann Arbor Live Reindeer Appearances
There are several options for seeing real Reindeer near Ann Arbor at any time – not just at an event. Unfortunately, the nearest Reindeer farms I found are in Kalamazoo and Frankenmuth.
- Frankenmuth – Grandpa Tiny’s Farm – Santa’s Reindeer Farm – November 18-December 17
- Kalamazoo – Reindeer Ranch – Take their Reindeer Tour throughout the year. Between Thanksgiving & Christmas, you can add a visit with Santa on weekends
Sven, the Creature Conservatory’s Reindeer typically appears in their Creature Feature on Saturdays and Sundays in December. They are open noon-5p on Saturday and Sunday. As of November 4, the November animal is a Wild Turkey. We will check closer to November to see if the reindeer return.
The Toledo Zoo has had reindeer in the past. But they are no longer listed in the list of animals on their website.
