Meet A Real Live Baby Reindeer At Santa’s Toys, A Christmas-Themed Toy Store In Indiana

Come down to Santa Claus, Indiana, where a new tradition is developing! The area's premier toy store has an annual reindeer encounter that will get you ready for Christmas (if you aren't already... we're typically ready by November 1st if we're being honest). If you've never seen one of these beauties in person, now is your chance! Come explore the amazing reindeer encounter at Santa's Toys in Santa Claus.

Santa's Toys is a year-round Christmas-themed gift shop in southern Indiana that is always bursting with toys for kids of all ages. It is open 365 days of the year and has been since 2016.

Back for another season is a very special event that the entire family will want to experience. The toy store will have live reindeer on-site for guests to meet!

This free event will take place one weekend only! On November 25th, 2023, Santa will lend his training reindeer to the shop for all to see.

There will even be a baby reindeer encounter as the event is scheduled to include a full-grown Mama and her offspring on the premises.

Remember to be gentle and kind... they're sensitive creatures and are deserving of our respect and care.

This unique experience is unlike any other holiday activity in the Hoosier state. Bring your children out to meet the magic of the season firsthand!

You'll likely find yourself feeling that magic too. These real-life reindeer might even make you second-guess your beliefs about that jolly old elf up at the North Pole.

....maybe.

Before or after your baby reindeer encounter, shop nearly 3,000 different toys in this giant store that truly has something for everyone. You could get all your shopping done in one place!

Santa's Toys is open Monday through Saturday, and you can learn more about the store and this event on the Santa's Toys website and the Santa's Toys Facebook page. Need something warm to wear while you're here? Our friends at L.L. Bean have an awesome selection of all things winter.
