Santa is visiting the Edwardsville Children's Museum for Winter Wonderland and will arrive in a firetruck for an afternoon of photos, train rides and lots of fun.
Santa arrives at 1 p.m., and kids can have photos taken with him from 1-4 p.m. at the museum's Nickel Plate Station. Visitors can also check out the museum's returning "Into the Arctic" exhibit to ride a dog sled and try ice-fishing - all without the subzero temperatures. Kids can take a train ride around the museum campus aboard the Winter Express and visit the Nickel Plate Station mailbox to write and mail a holiday letter to the North Pole.
Saturday, November 29. Winter Wonderland festivities begin at noon at the Edwardsville Children's Museum.
