Reindeer & Miniature Burros Meet & Greet
Sunday, December 6 · 2:00 – 4:00pm
On special dates, Santa brings his reindeer with him when he visits Tree Town Wonderland. You can get up close to see, feed and pet a reindeer. Not many people in the world can say they've done that! It's a family tradition we loved when we were little, and we want to share it with your family.
On Dec 6, the reindeer are bringing friends. Meet Pinto and Manchego, two miniature burros who love scratches and pictures. Say hello, take a picture, and give them a scratch.
Tips: Get there early for the best spot, and bring your camera to capture the moment.
