After saving many a Christmas back in the dark days of 2020 as Lockdown 2.0 was set to steal all festive cheer, Reindeer Lodge – a wonderful reindeer farm in Mold, near Cheshire – has revealed that their Christmas-themed Reindeer Safari will be back once more this year. And there are some pretty awesome festive features too!
Introduced to allow guests to safely visit the farm under Covid regulations, kids and adults alike are able to see the majestic reindeer from the comfort of their own cars, with added snow and enchanted lighting displays adding to the festive fever, it has now become a full walk-through experience for 2024. Guests will also be able to check out stunning countryside views, as well as a Christmas lighting trail which will be surrounded by herds of reindeer.
Available to experience by day or by night, the Elves will also be present at the 50-acre lodge, with their hidden village which can be discovered from your car as part of the experience, and even a Toy Workshop, too. There’s also some great souvenir photos to be had for the family album and you catch the Polar Express land train for a tour around this enchanted world.
And the organisers are not stopping there, as you can meet the story time characters and elves, send letters to Santa at the Toy Town Post Office, enjoy stage shows as well as rollercoaster and fairground rides. There are also lots of optional and extra family activities to enjoy, with the magical VR sleigh ride, prize game stalls, glitter tattoos, giant toasted marshmallows and hot chocolates, mulled wine and a licensed bar along with more festive food and drinks and a gift shop.
And for the grand finale, kids will be able to stop by for a visit with Father Christmas himself to receive a gift as part of the grotto.
The unique experience runs until December 24 (after all, its Father Christmas’ busiest night of the year), with pre-bookings required to attend. Festive food and drink will be available on-site, and tickets start at £45 per car.
Reindeer Lodge can be found at Black Meadows Farm, Leeswood, Mold, CH7 4SQ.
