Worth knowing about · Palmer Wildlife

Reindeer Farm

Reindeer Farm (also known as Williams Reindeer Farm) is a family-owned operation near Palmer that has welcomed visitors since 1987. Walking tours let guests get close to and hand-feed reindeer — a simple, popular stop, especially with families and kids.

Who this suits

Families and kids — a straightforward, hands-on animal experience without much planning required.

A plan that works

  1. Pair it with a Palmer day, or with Musk Ox Farm nearby for a bigger animal-focused outing.
  2. Check current hours before you go — this is a seasonal, family-run operation.

5561 Bodenburg Loop, Palmer, AK 99645

Check current hours and admission before you go.

Drive and timing, honestly

  • On Bodenburg Loop near Palmer. No drive time is stated from either property — none has been measured.

What we won’t promise

  • We cannot promise current hours, admission prices, or feed availability — check Reindeer Farm's own site before you go.
  • We cannot promise specific animal behavior on a given day.

Practical notes

  • Family-owned and operated since 1987.
  • Walking tours let guests hand-feed reindeer directly — a simpler, more casual experience than Musk Ox Farm's guided-tour format.
