Paddocks and Exhibition

Our Paddocks is open in 2025 once again!

After our total rebuild of the area in 2024, our renovations are still progressing and we have moved into our new building. We will aim to have a small group of reindeer on display in our Paddocks area daily for the rest of 2025, though we may have to close on occasion to allow progression of building works. Unfortunately we don’t know in advance when this will be, so we’d recommend phoning/emailing us to check a couple of days before your visit.

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 have a few of our previous display boards outside and a wee quiz for kids in place. The new Exhibition is nearly finished but we aren’t 100% sure when it will be ready to open. For now, visiting the Paddocks is simply an opportunity for those unable to join us on the Hill Trips to keep it simple and see some of our beautiful reindeer!

As such, we will not be releasing tickets 30 days in advance as normal – at least not until the Exhibition opens – but they will be available on the day in the shop. Prices will vary depending on what is on offer, but will be in the region of £2.50 – £3 per person, increasing once the Exhibition is open. Please keep checking back on this page for up-to-date information, or follow us on social media for news, and for more info please feel free to read our blog, published on the 7th February. Even when the Exhibition does open, there will be changes to come throughout the next year or two, as we build more external groundworks and add to the Exhibition space inside the building

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.

The Paddocks are accessible for all.

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