Reindeer Meet And Greet

The reindeer are adorable and the guides are very welcoming. You can tell they love what they do. We learned a lot about reindeer.

Great tour with lots of facts about reindeer! The tour guide was excellent and I definitely recommend.

It was an awesome experience and Jordan was very knowledgeable. You will feed the deers. I love Rory

We had a great time! Much enjoyed being able to chat with our friendly guide Evelyn, who shared a lot of insight and fun facts about the job and what goes into taking care of their beloved reindeer :)

The reindeer are so soft and the guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We took a short walk to the reindeer pens. We fed the reindeer. We posed with the reindeer while someone else in the group would take your picture. Not sure what I was expecting…. we drove quite a ways to spend 30 minutes with the reindeer while someone. The directions could have been better.

This was a fun little excursion about an hour outside of Fairbanks. You’ll spend 30 minutes at the pens with the reindeer feeding them. They host small groups for ample opportunity to interact. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. The base camp is amazing you can do multiple excursions there so if you are interested in other activities you may want to bundle them all in one location. There is also a cafe on sight.

We traveled from Pennsylvania to Alaska. The Reindeer Meet and Greet was a great experience. My daughters (4 and 18) lived every moment!

We had fed reindeer in Norway, and this did not compare. If it's all you will ever do with reindeer, though, don't miss it! You are taught about reindeer as you pet and feed the four they have, there, in three pens. One didn't want to relate to us, so that left three. One we couldn't get in the pen with, so we could only really relate to two. It was fun to feed them, and I did learn even more about reindeer. The Basecamp Adventure people mixed this with a dinner and the dog sledding, calling it a "half-day" experience. It was really a three hour experience spread over six hours, with a lot of waiting.

A cute reindeer retreat where you are able to pet, feed and take photos with the reindeer they have out. The three reindeer we got to meet were friendly and very cute. Our guide was sweet and informative. Just a short walk from the base camp where you are able to go back to and have yourself a warm drink and enjoy the beautiful view.

Family friendly and great guide. The guest lodge is accommodating enough. Staff seems pleasant. Family

Our guide was super friendly but this place is a little far from Fairbanks, also, the reindeers are a little out of control, they kept ramming into us.

We got to pet and feed reindeer as we learned about the herd and specific reindeer we met. So worth it!

Really enjoyed visiting with the cute Reindeer! We got to feed them too. Definitely recommend this activity!

Ahmae is a sweet guide. It’s obvious the reindeer love her. We got to feed a couple of them and also get into the pen with one to pet him. Learned a lot about reindeer from Ahmae. Just wish we could have spent a little more time and maybe gotten to walk around the area (outside of the pen) like some of the photos advertising the activity show.

The lady guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable! She was great! We loveddddd the experience ! The reindeers seems very well taken care of and happy!

Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, cared very much about the animals. The location is beautiful, great for a walk before or after the reindeer experience.

We met 3 reindeers- Gary, Hank, & Alis! I would definitely recommend this meet and greet. You get to feed them and pet them! Only trouble was finding their location. There’s no real visible sign to point to their location and where to park and enter. But the staff were friendly and showed us the way!

Great experience learning about reindeer, feeding them and getting great photos. Dress warm and have fun!

Was disappointed. Spent half hour (if that long) in a pen with one of two reindeer. I had hoped there would be more interaction.

The address doesn’t show that you are going to Borealis Basecamp. Once you get there you have to go to a different area to sign waivers then are taken to to a different spot where we had to walk down a hill. It felt very rushed, we didn’t get a lot of information on the “tour”. Our group had 5 people and 3 people were already at the spot where the reindeer are. When we got to the babies, there was a bottle for 8 people to share to feed the baby. The other two women used most of the bottle and no one in our group was given a chance to do it. It felt very much disappointing for the price we paid.

Got to see the reindeers and pet/feed them. Tyler, our guide was informative too which was a plus. I just felt the price was expensive for a similar event as to touching animals in farms which is why I rated average. Also recommend visiting during bright hours as we went there early morning and our photos came out dark.

A good opportunity to learn more about nature firsthand with excellent professionals. You have to consider travel time on your own, but it is worth it once you are in these places.
