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.

Make sure the kids bring their letters to Santa to drop into the mailbox that’s especially for Jolly Ole St. Nick.
