HARDY'S REINDEER RANCH - Kids Welcome (Rantoul, IL)

We are inviting you, your friends, and family (all ages welcome) to join us for a fun-filled day at Hardy's Reindeer Ranch, 1356 County Rd 2900 N, Rantoul, IL (approx. 2 hours South of Chicago on I57; or 2-1/2 hours North of Edwardsville on I57). The Ranch is an unusual and unique attraction that features a herd of authentic Alaskan reindeer ready for you to have an up-close encounter.

The Ranch offers various individually priced activities: Reindeer Experience tour ($12pp); Hayrack ride ($6pp); Pedal race cars—suitable for adults or children ($6pp); 10-acre corn maze ($10pp); paintball gallery ($6pp). However, they offer a package of three (3) activities and—IF we have a minimum of 15 people who want it—a weenie roast consisting of a hot dog (extra hot dogs are $2 each), soda, campfire sticks, and a s'mores kit, in a covered eating area - for a total cost of $28pp + $2 extra for each additional hot dog. (This is a PREPAY event - see options below.)

**THIS EVENT IS BEING CROSS-POSTED IN SEVERAL SITES AND IS CO-ED AND OPEN TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE.**

INCLUDED in “our” package will be the (A) Reindeer Experience tour, (B) Hayrack ride, (C) pedal race carts, AND (D) weenie roast:

1. Reindeer Experience Tour - Take the Reindeer tour and surround yourself with these magical animals of the North. You'll be given a treat to feed them then you can even give them a “reindeer kiss” - if you're brave. It's a great photo opportunity.
2. Hayrack ride - Each hayrack will hold 20-25 people.
3. Pedal race cars

The Ranch opens at 10am on Saturday - but let’s plan to arrive at 11am. We will have the weenie roast as close to arrival time as possible, then we can enjoy the pre-planned activities. We will play it by ear as to how long we stay afterward but I would like to head home no later than 6pm.
