Photo Blog: July 2025

July has been a good month with the reindeer finally starting to look good in their short sleek coats. We’ve some very hot days, but the reindeer have very faired well. They felt the heat on occasions but thankfully have ways off cooling down, I actually think they dealt with it better than me! Check out this old blog to see how the reindeer cope in higher temperatures.

We’ve been busy with three Hill Trips every weekday, and two on weekends. The Paddocks has also been popular and behind-the-scenes there are exciting things going on in the Exhibition. We still don’t have an opening date, but things have progressed well in the last couple of weeks. Exciting! Here’s some pics of some of our lovely male reindeer taken over the past month…
