Paddocks and Exhibition

Our Paddocks is open in 2025 once again (most of the time)!

After our total rebuild of the area in 2024, our renovations are still progressing and we have moved into our new building now. 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 being developed but we aren’t 100% sure what will be ready when, and it will be changing throughout the year as we build more external groundworks and kit out the new Exhibition space inside the building. 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 to start with – 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 at the start of the season. 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.

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.
