Are the reindeer real at Hersheypark Christmas Candylane?
YES! The actual reindeer that help deliver presents are here at Hersheypark Christmas Candylane! At least, that is what the reindeer wrangler told me when we were discussing the 9 live reindeer in the enclosure. Be sure to chat with the keepers from Zoo America when you visit the reindeer. They have lots of great reindeer information to share with you!
