Paddocks and Exhibition

Our Paddocks will be open in 2025 once again!

Our lovely reindeer spend most of their lives up on the mountains and only visit the Paddock area down in Glenmore for a few days at a time. Please note that whilst you’ll be close to the reindeer, we are hands-off with them so don’t pat or hand-feed them in the Paddocks – just like us they do appreciate their personal space.

After our total rebuild of the area in 2024, our renovations are still progressing and we will (hopefully!) have moved into our new building by the time we re-open to the public on 8th February. From then on, we will have a small group of reindeer on display in our Paddocks area throughout the February half-term (8th – 23rd February), and then once again from the start of the Easter holidays (date TBC) onwards for the rest of the year. Please note that between the Feb half-term and the Easter holidays, the Paddocks will be closed.

When the Paddocks are open, you can pop along to the Centre at any point between 10am and 5pm to see some of our beautiful reindeer. Right now we currently only have a few display boards outside and no kids’ activities in place – the whole place is very much a work in progress, but we are hoping to at least have the start of the Exhibition material in place by February. We aren’t 100% sure what will be ready though, and in reality it will be changing throughout the year as we build more external groundworks and kit out the new Exhibition space inside the building. For the start of the season, visiting the Paddocks is simply an opportunity for those unable to join us on the Hill Trips to at least spot a reindeer!

As such, we will not be releasing tickets 30 days in advance as normal, as we need to know what we will have available for the February half-term before doing so. Please keep checking back on this page for up-to-date information, or follow us on social media for news of when tickets will be available for pre-purchase.

The Paddocks are accessible for all.

Hill Trips to see the herd up on the mountains are running as normal – more info here.

Please note we are CLOSED completely from Mon 6th January onwards, re-opening for the 2025 season on Sat 8th February.
