A Day Out with Thomas (the Train, that is)
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Day Out with Thomas is an exciting way for children and grown-ups to enter the world of Thomas & Friends. The event provides an opportunity for kids to ride on board a train led by Thomas and have their pictures taken with Sir Topham Hatt, the Controller of Thomas' Railway.
Each of the events offers visitors a fresh and unique experience that distinguishes host U.S. railroads. Different forms of entertainment - from petting zoos and pony rides to face-painting and magic shows - make each Day Out with Thomas event special.
