Ho! Ho! Ho! 'Tis the time for all things magical, and the man of the season is certainly Santa Claus himself. We've got plenty of places to meet Santa - from Holiday Lights at Kennywood to our local malls, where he spends hours posing for photos. For a positively enchanting and unique setting to meet Santa (and his reindeer!), however, plan a visit to this reindeer farm near Pittsburgh.
Set off on a magical holiday adventure for Aphtorp Farms in Harborcreek, about two hours from downtown Pittsburgh. The reindeer farm, in fact, is the only one of its kind in Western Pennsylvania.
Apthorp Farms welcomes families to make reservations to visit the charming reindeer farm for photos with Santa and plenty of other holiday fun.
Awash in twinkling lights, Santa's house awaits the kiddos of Western Pennsylvania who want to whisper their Christmas wishes into his ear.
Make sure the kids bring their letters to Santa to drop into the mailbox that's especially for Jolly Ole St. Nick.
One of the highlights of your visit will likely be meeting one of Santa's reindeer, who will be available for your picture with Santa, too.
Say cheese for the camera as you, Santa, and the reindeer mug for photos. Professional photo packages are available.
If you visit during the day, your adventure keeps going after your photos. Meet the rest of the resident reindeer, and ask their handlers questions about reindeer care.
However, you must reserve a spot (spots are limited) to meet Santa and his reindeer. To make an appointment or for more information, email [email protected] or call 814-823-4321.
