Tickets are bought in advance by phone or through the museum's Etix listing. The same rides page says boarding is up about five steps, seats are reserved, the trip runs rain or shine, and sales are final. Children under 2 who do not need their own seat may sit on a parent's lap at no charge. Children 2 and older need a seat at a reduced fare, and children's tickets are limited to regular and coach class. A dining car sells snacks and drinks. The Santa flyer and the Etix page did not return readable fares or departure clocks, so those are left blank. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Santa's Arrival at Glow Wild — Meet Santa at Nashville Zoo](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/santa-s-arrival-at-glow-wild-meet-santa-at-nashville-zoo--listing-99d5db6cdf6089cc1b8aabfb) — Nov 27 – Dec 24 · 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Nashville Zoo at Grassmere · All ages · From $27 · checked Oct 30.
