Reindeer Roundup at Brookfield Place NY

December 18, 2020 by Denise Courter

Reindeer Roundup at Brookfield Place NY

Stop by Brookfield Place from 12/19 – 12/24 for an interactive family-friendly experience that encourages visitors to explore Brookfield Place and hunt for Santa’s lost reindeers. Participants can walk around through this shopping destination, in search of virtual “magic snowflakes” that will help identify where the AR reindeers are located. Once you have found all of the reindeers, you can stop by the concierge booth to pick up a special prize. Don’t forget to admire the luminaries and stop by the ice rink for a full day of fun.

Step-by-step Instructions

  • Visit Brookfield Place and search for snowflakes that are posted throughout the complex.
  • Found one? Scan the QR code located on the center of the sign to launch bfplroundup.com
  • Once the experience is launched, scan the snowflake on the bottom of the poster using your phone and a reindeer will appear!
  • Collect all the reindeer and pick up a special present at the concierge.
  • Prizes are also awarded to participants who post a photo of the experience on social media, and tag @bfplny!

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
