Day Out With Thomas 2015

I know this is a little bit of a drive but I have heard so many good things about this event from other parents over the past few years and I am excited to take my little ones this year! This event is held at the St. Thomas-Elgin Memorial Centre in St. Thomas.

Day Out With Thomas™

All aboard!  Thomas the Tank Engine™ is chugging into a station near you for Day Out With Thomas™.  Thomas fans are invited to come spend the day with their favorite No. 1 engine.  For over 65 years, children have been captivated by the courageous adventures of Thomas and his engine friends.  Day Out With Thomas will make stops in more than 45 cities in the United States and Canada and is expected to welcome more than one million passengers this year.

Day Out With Thomas™ offers an opportunity for children and their families to take a 25 minute ride* with Thomas the Tank Engine™ and to meet Sir Topham Hatt™, the Controller of the Railway. Every event has a Thomas & Friends Imagination Station with Thomas-themed activities including stamps, temporary tattoos, hands-on arts and crafts, and a Thomas storytelling and video viewing area. The activities on site at Day Out With Thomas™ are for you and your children to enjoy for several hours.
