Step 1
Research where reindeer farms are located in the United States by checking with the Reindeer Owners and Breeders Association. Rooftop Landing Reindeer Farm in Pewamo, Michigan, provides the animals for parades, home events and educational programs. You can also buy antlers, fleece and other items from the farm or the website. Crystal Collection Reindeer in Lake Crystal, Minnesota, mainly provides their reindeer for events at your location, but they also sell the animals and have a variety of products for sale.

Step 2
Check tree farms like Kidman Tree Farm in Park City, Iowa, that may bring reindeer onto the farm for the holidays and hire them out for parades.
-
Step 3
Contact the farm to find out about tour dates and times. Ask about the reindeer's temperament or other animals on the farm that may be present, if you are concerned about safety or any allergies your children may have.
-
Step 4
Plan the trip. Unless you live in the area where the reindeer farm is located, this will be a holiday adventure. Treat it like you would any other vacation and plan accordingly, keeping in mind that travel is always longer and busier in the holiday months.

Step 5
Gather information on local zoos. If you don't want to travel out of state to see reindeer, check with your local zoo to see if they have a reindeer exhibit. Some zoos have reindeer year-round, while others organize special holiday exhibits.
