When arriving at Nutley Farm, you’ll be greeted by beautiful illuminations and enchanting displays. Our latest trail ‘FOLLOW THE LOST REINDEER’ features five new themed chapters, many new light installations, enhanced magical interactions, and fabulous higher-quality projections.
Discover 20 hidden reindeer characters along our illuminated trail, and enjoy meeting Nutley Farm’s real-life magical reindeer, Rudolph, Prancer, Sprout and Parsnip.
SENSORY ADJUSTMENTS
