What do I need to bring?
For your Daytime Reindeer Sleigh Ride & Arctic Farm Experience, no special gear is needed—just dress warmly with regular winter outdoor clothing. Reindeer hides in the sleigh help keep you cozy, but layers are key, especially on longer rides.
We recommend thermal underwear, a wool layer, and a winter jacket and trousers. Wear warm socks, winter boots, mittens or gloves, and cover your head and neck with a beanie and scarf.
Avoid tight clothing—loose layers insulate better. Please ensure children are dressed extra warmly for the Arctic cold.
