Looking for delightful things to do with a 2.75-year-old in the greater Seattle area, found THIS:

Join Alki Tours on Santa Express To The Zoolights

December 6 2008
$79 adults/ children $54

A magical day awaits as we board the Christmas Train bound for Tacoma. With bells ringing and carolers singing were sure to be seeing St. Nick on the train. If your child has been good, the jolly old man has a package awaiting (if not, a lump of coal). The Cascades train will wind along the tracks on its way to Tacoma. Then Santa and his elves whisk you away to Pt. Defiance Zoo to rendezvous with the reindeer. Delight in the dazzling display of half a million colored lights shimmering in the night. See the huge replica of Mt. Rainier and cross through a myriad of lights into a dreamland of giant spiders! In the early evening our magical train whistles in and carries us home. The tour includes: train transportation, a snack pack, lots of entertainment and admissions.

I can't imagine anything more terrifying. Look, kids! Happy, fun, Santa, presents, carolers, music, fun, SPIDERS OH MY GAWD SPIDERS GET THEM OFF AAAAAARGH, presents, fun...

WHO DECIDED THAT GIANT SPIDERS SHOULD BE PART OF MY MAGICAL SANTA TRAIN RIDE?!?!?!
