GET READY! Day Out With Thomas is making it's annual trip back to SoCal! Our favorite Number One Engine is set to roll into the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA on Nov. 9,10,11, 16 and 17, 2013.
We went last year and it was so much fun! My kids loved it! All I can say is - come early and plan to be there the whole day. There's a ton of stuff to do (see below), and if you're going to make the trip out there, you'll want make the most of it. (Last year we came around lunch time and stayed til closing. I remembered racing through the end and still didn't get to experience everything. BUMMER!)
IT'S MORE THAN JUST A TRAIN RIDE:
You might also want to note that when purchasing tickets, you're making a reservation for a train ride on Thomas, however, there are also unlimited trolley rides, visiting the Los Angeles Railway Museum (our favorite part/great photo ops btw), story telling, an imagination station, a petting zoo, and more. You can read more about our trip last year here:
(Note: Some of the activities might be slightly different this year).
THIS YEAR'S ACTIVITIES:
All little girls and boys will have the opportunity to meet Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends in person at the 2013 Day Out With Thomas GO GO Tour. Little engineers and grownups are invited to take a 25-minute ride on a life-size Thomas and have a fun day of Thomas-related activities including:
- A meet and greet with Sir Topham Hatt, the Superintendent of the Railroad
- Thomas and Friends storytelling and video viewing
- A Thomas and Friends Imagination Station (train table play area and arts and crafts)
- Petting Zoo
- Jules Live Music 4 Kids
- Temporary Tattoos
- Bounce House
- Caboose Train and Trolley Rides
HOT TIP: There will be two lines - one for taking pictures in front of Thomas and a separate line for the train ride. Don't miss your train ride because you're standing in the wrong line! They let us hop on the following ride, but it set us back for the rest of the day.
