Little ones can visit with Santa without the midday crowds, join interactive elf story times at 9:15 and 9:45 a.m., play in Santa's Front Yard, help care for the reindeer in the Reindeer Barn and ride the Snowfall Express train. Families can stay on in the museum after 10 a.m. It is included with museum admission (members free) with $4 parking validation; buying online saves $1 per ticket. ## 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.
