The Indiana State Museums offers lots of opportunities to meet with Santa Claus this Christmas season.

While you are there don’t miss the Snowfall Express, the Indiana State Museums’ newest train ride attraction. 

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

Santa is very busy this time of year, but he’s made some special arrangements with The Children’s Museum! For everyone’s safety, Santa will remain in his sleigh while wearing a face mask. Families will be able to chat with him at a safe social distance, take a photo, and bring a letter to drop in our Letters to Santa box.
