The museum page says it is open daily from November 27 through January 3, 2027, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed December 25. Children can use Santa’s Front Yard and the Reindeer Barn. The Snowfall Express is a train ride through a snowy forest with music and movement. Santa is in his house daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through December 24; the museum asks guests to check the Santa schedule for who is on duty. The original Santa Claus Express train and L.S. Ayres animated windows are on view elsewhere in the building. This season record is not the opening-day listing already in the catalog. The hub does not print admission dollars. Holiday Sounds, on a page opened the same day, says general admission is adult $23, senior $21, and youth $17, with members free, and that wording is the price label because Celebration Crossing is the visit those tickets cover. Breakfasts, concerts, and workshops that use separate tickets stay on their own pages. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Celebration Crossing Opening Day with Santa's Helicopter Arrival](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/celebration-crossing-opening-day-with-santa-s-helicopter-arrival--listing-f12906a809054048c674fbd9) — Fri, Nov 27 · 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM · Indiana State Museum · All ages · From $17 · checked Oct 24.
