Reindeer are an intelligent, curious animal and learn through repetition.
Each animal has its own distinct “personality” … some are nice and some are not.
Both the male and female reindeer grow antlers each year.
The outside of the growing antler is covered with a soft furred skin called “velvet”.
Reindeer babies are born in the late spring and weigh 7-8 pounds at birth.
Reindeer hair is hollow, like a straw, and serves as good insulation against the cold.
Reindeer are native to North America, but are classified as “exotic” animals by the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Santa's Hide-A-Way Hollow, described as "A Magical Place Tucked in Your Heart Where the Spirit of Christmas Lasts Forever", began as a dream, and was completed in 1992. What started out as a desire to help terminally ill children and their families, has resulted in a Christmas retreat from the reality of their illness, creating wonderful memories instead. The Mission of Santa's Hide-A-Way is to bring families together during a very difficult time in their lives. It provides a perfect setting for a visit with Santa Claus, no matter the date.
