This was the second time our family has gone to see the reindeer, and it's so charming. They have reindeer on display and you're able to feed them, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and so helpful to the little kids asking questions. My nephews were thrilled that they were allowed to hold a chicken, it was the highlight of their day. And they got to ride the little train and visit Santa! All in all this is a charming little place, it's small enough that the little ones don't get overwhelmed and you're able to see everything before they need a break. I strongly recommend getting tickets in advance because they let groups in at specific times to help crowd control.

What a great experience for kids and adults. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make your visit memorable. You can get up close with the animals and really learn something. On the plus side the owners are very personable and really enjoy the experience that they bring you. I only wish we would have known about this when our boys were younger. We'll be back.

So much to see! Great place. Easy to get to. Parking is free. Head in and see and learn all about the Reindeer! Lots of hands on and activities. Gift shop is really cool. Support a great cause and visit a great place.

We showed up as a girl scout troop and a Birthday party! Staff was friendly and had nice introductions for each animal! The girls had a good time!It was a little hectic, I do wish we could have had a more reserved time for our troop to enjoy things and be able to stay together, but it was a great experience and absolutely got everyone in the holiday spirit! And a super special thank you to Tracy for the special gift for our special girl scout! Merry Christmas and thank you for having us!!

Just went here with my family and it was a lot of fun! The place was decorated beautifully and you could tell attention and care was taken to create it! The entire staff were full of smiles and so helpful! The reindeer were amazing and very well taken care of. The Santa was perfect and made my toddlers feel at ease! It was like taking a trip to the North Pole! Plus, it was fun for all ages (we had toddlers, teens, and adults in their 30s and 60s)! Definitely a great place for a fun adventure!!

Snowmans reindeer farm is a great place to visit. Staff was very informative and great to deal with. Info on all the animals, nice little gift shop to purchase things, and many many great photo op places on the grounds for the holidays. Great pace to visit for young and old. I would highly recommend to check it out.

A great place to visit. Right here in Central Illinois. Fun for the kids. Very organized. Kid Tran rides are the reason for 4 not 5 stars. After paying $20 a person to get in you have to pay $3 more per kid to rude train. Which wouldn't be bad if the train went around the entire reindeer park. But it goes in a little circle in a small building. Otherwise great time. Friendly staff. We'll done !

The property and the environment is great if you don't have antsy/inpatient children and adults alike. There are lines for everything and with toddlers it was a challenge. The farm was beautifully decorated, lotsa props for pictures which was my favorite. The reindeer only can take so much of visitors and so about an 1.5 of being there the deer were done visiting so maybe do the reindeer exhibits first. I enjoyed myself but won't be back to visit until kiddos are older or at all but nothing to do with the farm, owners or property just my personal preference. Oh, it's a great date night event not to mention. The only downfall lastly is the height and weight requirements for the train plus the extra $3 per person charge to ride it is a little absurd, either raise the price of the entry ticket to reflect that option or don't charge at all in my opinion.

This is the cutest place! Definitely a hidden gem as I’ve lived in Peoria my entire life and have just heard of this farm this year. We came two days before Christmas for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. We were greeted by the owner, Scott, who gave us a quick rundown of Covid expectations and reindeer safety which I truly appreciated! I love that they really, really care for the beautiful animals at their farm and you could see that instantly. This will definitely become a yearly tradition and my toddler has already asked when we can go next! Also, I had a sugar cookie from their cute little hot chocolate stand and it was the best cookie ever. Definitely worth every penny and every mile driven!

It's not really wheelchair accessible uneven concrete, gravel drive way, gift shop- barley any room. Me & my grandmother was done in 5 mins & we drove an hr & half to spend $40 for 5mins to find out it's not really wheelchair accessible. It might of been a lil better if everything wasn't placed right next to each other also no one was really feeding the reindeer but staff. Downer!Gift shop is overpricedAlso asked a staff member standing next to one of the reindeers she was asked something about them just to be told to ask another staff member. Her words were "oh I have no idea". (Um okay)

This tiny little spot tucked away in Canton was so fun. They have 4-5 reindeer. Some you can feed and some are just nearby. They also have a variety of other activities, costs are fairly standard/inexpensive for an attraction like this. They have a santa for pictures, standard snacks and beverages. Portolets if you have to potty. It's a fairly short adventure, about an hour to see everything but totally worth it.

This is the place you want to go every year. What a fun place to take your family and create holiday traditions….worth the drive and the ticket price !

An awesome place for the family to go, especially closer to Christmas! Both of the owners were working the night I took my family, and they were both very informative, telling us all about the type of reindeer they have, and the differences in size between the male and females. The talking Christmas tree was fun, and the Santa there was amazing! My boys loved getting to meet all of the animals. In addition to getting to pet and feed the reindeer, my sons loved getting to hold the chickens. The train that night wasn't open, but our boys would have enjoyed riding it. I would recommend any family with little kiddos to take their family there as it's such a magical place for them as they thought they were seeing Santa's actual reindeer.

Awesome local attraction! Perfect place to get a warm cup of cocoa or warm apple cider and see the beautiful reindeer!It's apparent that the animals are well taken care of and have plenty of space to live happily!10/10 do recommendEdit: I will say that if you purchase a thermos cup with hot chocolate; don't expect to drink it until the next day because it's so hot! Haha seriously tho my son couldn't drink his at all lol

It's fun and very cute, decorated really well. The employees are very knowledgeable on their reindeer and are extremely friendly to visitors. We came late, not realizing they were closed at 6, and they let us through without saying anything. The train ride was super cute and fun for little ones. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the prices. Paid 7 dollars for my 2 year old, and he was kind of bored with it within a few minutes, as he doesn't really understand. Would be nice to have a discounted rate for toddlers.

Mistletoe is the best reindeer. This is an exceptionally wholesome place to go. Staff is nice, you can feed reindeer. Kid & family friendly. It's like the winter Tanner's. Santa was there today.

Definitely not worth the drive. You stand in line to enter the barn where three reindeer are. They let about 15 people in at a time. My grandson got to pet one of them but wasn't allowed to feed any. Got to spend about 10 minutes in the barn. The owner talked a little about the animals but not much. Very disappointed! The crafts for the kids were simply a page to color. They provided the markers.
