Day Out with Thomas is something that I have known I wanted to do with Zane for about a year. We didn't go last year because, well, I don't really remember. I just know that we didn't go. However I have a feeling this will be the last year Zane is truly into Thomas and I knew we needed to go this year. We went when Andrew was just turned 4 and since Zane will be 4 this year it just made sense.
The tickets for Thomas are kinda spendy and honestly I don't know they are worth it for the activities but the look on my little man's face was absolutely priceless so maybe it was worth the over inflated price.
Lucy had a good time with the day too. It was kinda hot and right in the middle of nap time that we were there but she was a fabulous sport about the whole thing. Andrew on the other hand was wearing his "this is for babies" face most of the day. Fortunately it didn't seem to rain on Zane's parade at all. Still working on that joy sharing thing with Andrew for sure.
This year we got up close and personal with Thomas for a picture. Last time we went I thought it cost money. Which it does if you want to buy a photo from the photographer at the venue. But they are very good about letting you use your own camera.
All throughout the area there were big canvases of Thomas and sheds and other characters. The kids got tattoos, coloring pages and stamped a big page of Thomas. They also have a huge set up of tracks that the kids can play with for as long as they want.
All in all it was a great day. Zane didn't want to leave (but this hugely prego momma was absolutely DONE!) and wants to go back again. Maybe next year. We will have to see where the Thomas obsession is when summer rolls around next time.

Did they get to actually ride Thomas or just stand by him? It looks so fun and I can't wait to do it with Will next year! I think he will be old enough at 2 to get some enjoyment out of it.
You get to ride in a coach behind Thomas. That is technically what the ticket is for. At $18 a ticket I would like to think that there would be more to do but there isn't. The kids love it though. It really is kinda fun to watch their little faces.
Do you have to get tickets for the parents or just the kids?
Everyone, but it is also a fundraiser for the local railroad club that restores old trains and runs a museum.
That's good, at least it goes to a good cause. I wouldn't want to think all that money was just going to line the pockets of Sir Topham Hatt!
