Day Out With Thomas™ is a family event that offers aspiring engineers and their families the unique opportunity to ride the storybook favorite Thomas the Tank Engine™ at regional heritage railroads across the country.

Since Thomas the Tank Engine™ left the depot more than 60 years ago, this Really Useful Engine and his Island of Sodor friends have chugged their way into the hearts of preschoolers and grownups alike. Based on The Railway Series of classic stories authored by a father who loved trains and wanted a shared experience with his son, Thomas & Friends™ is a rite of passage that inspires the imagination while teaching the life lessons of friendship, exploration, and cooperation.

Through Day Out With Thomas™, parents, grandparents, and siblings will join preschoolers on this journey. The experience will engineer miles of smiles for the whole family and introduce a new generation to railroading.
