What can you expect from A Day Out with Thomas?
Specific activities vary from venue to venue. But do expect to make a day of it! A Day out with Thomas is more than just a train ride! We spend 4 hours at Heart of Dixie Railroad yesterday. Bug played with Thomas toys, climbed on real engines parked in the train yard, played in a sandbox, a bounce castle, watched a movie in a train car, played putt putt and blew bubbles.
There are food trucks and picnic tables so you can plan to eat there. But this year I did something I hadn’t done before. I packed a cooler and we had our own picnic lunch. I’m all about saving a few bucks when I can. I usually end up getting Bug a hot dog and bag of chips from a food vendor and he eats three bites and he’s done and that’s $5 I never see again. So we went frugal this time!
This is the second year that Thomas is able to TALK to his friends at A Day Out With Thomas! It’s such a wonderful addition that the kids won’t forget!
Here’s a video of Thomas talking as he’s pulling into the station:
