Cairngorm Reindeer Centre

Guided tours to see reindeer for winter is 11am, otherwise there's a couple of them in the paddock. The 20 min guided hike was £14 vs £3.50.

The park is well maintained, just had a short stop to take in the scenary. Didn't have a lot of time as sunsets early. Easy to cross to visitor center for washroom and cafe.

Good tour up to the hills to see some reindeer.
You buy your ticket for the trek in the reindeer centre and then meet in a forestry car park a mile or two along the road. You can’t go wrong as along with our car park ticket we were given a map of where to meet up as well.
The walk takes about 20 minutes with a couple of stops and goes at a fairly slow pace which is good. There were quite a few young children on the walk but it’s easily manageable with a helping hand.
It’s fairly muddy in places so boots or wellies are recommended, wellies can be hired for only 50p from the centre which is a great.
Warm clothing is a must as where the reindeer are is fairly high up and exposed. Even though we went in November and it was dry it’s wasn’t bad at all. Would be pretty miserable though with young kids if it’s both wet and windy.
The guides take feed up with them so there’s a chance to hand feed them which our kids loved!

Lovely trip up the hill to the reindeer. We where about 12 people but it felt pretty intimate. More the gender taking us up to see her herd than just a play for tourists and their money.

WoW what a beautiful place to visit.
A must see for everyone who visit the highlands.
Really great tour and a great guide.
This man is telling everything about the reindeers.

Friendly place with clear love for reindeer. The paddocks are not very exciting, but the real fun is up in the fields. At least when you're not blinded by midges. Refunds are kindly offered if midges are super abundant.

The reindeer are very comfortable around people and it is perfectly safe to feed them. Many are not fond of being petted, but will mob you for food. Wear good footwear, it's muddy in the field.

Loved our experience getting right up close and feeding the reindeer. The 3 guides on the day with the group were very informative and friendly!

The trip to visit the reindeer was one of the best parts of our trip to Scotland. Feeding and petting these animals was wonderful! It was a pretty walk up a hill to the pasture (wear mud boots) where we got to feed and pet the reindeer. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient in answering our questions. I could've sat on top of the hill with those reindeer all day; it isn't something I'll forget! I went with my 4 year old who managed the walk just fine and had fun feeding the deer and jumping in mud.

Wonderfull place ... although we wouldn't call it a "centre" back in Belgium ... there are only 4 reindeer 😊

So much fun! Even the freezing cold and pouring rain couldn't make us enjoy this experience any less - it was really something special. The staff were friendly and informative, the walk to the paddock was beautiful and the reindeer were amazing. We would do this again without hesitation.

The reindeer are lovely and very friendly.
Bit of a walk to get to them, mention that because it's proper off road, wear boots / Wellington boots.
You get a great enthusiastic talk about the reindeer.
The paddock by the centre is really small and probably not worth them effort.
Get out onto the hills with expert guide if you can.

This was simply the best experience. Did the guided walk to feed the reindeer on a stunning October day. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I could have stayed all day!
