Looked forward to taking my three year old grandkids to Hardy's. We took the "Reindeer Tour" which consisted of standing in a small corral to "feed" the reindeer while the owner doled out a cracker at a time to people. We paid three bucks a head (including the children) for this experience. The cafe was not open, though it is part of their ads, and no one there seemed apologetic about that fact. It was a cold day but there was no fire in the potbelly. My son-in-law treated us to a "hay ride" which consisted of driving around harvested fields for about five minutes. Items in their gift shop were all overpriced, too. Not a very pleasant experience. It was interesting to be up close and personal with reindeer, who seem to be nice critters, and my grandkids seemed to enjoy them, but the reality of Hardy's Ranch did not live up to the ads. Be forewarned.
