DISCOVERY CUBE: New Thomas and Friends Exhibit | #ExplorewithThomas @DiscoveryCube

This is written by me for Discovery Cube. All opinions are my own.

Railway Enthusiasts, Discovery Cube has a new exhibit that your family will love - Thomas & Friends™: Explore the Rails. This is a very popular exhibit! Railfans came ready to explore the Island of Sodor. My guys headed straight for the ultimate train table.

They could spend all day building and pushing trains around the Island, but I had to step in and show them there's more to the exhibit. Over by the Sodor Steamworks, you will find kids trying to repair Percy. It's also a great photo op!



My son is learning that powering up Percy is a "Team Effort".



Other Exhibit Activities Include:

• Climb inside Thomas’ cab to explore the engine’s inner workings.
• Remove and replace parts to fix Percy’s wobbly wheel.
• Load Percy’s coal box and water so he can deliver the mail.
• Suit up as the conductor and sell tickets to ride the train.
• Load and sort luggage and freight into train cars.
• Explore the history of Thomas & Friends through books, TV show clips and toys.
• Plan and build navigation routes to favorite destinations on the gigantic Island of Sodor train table.

They're learning about departure times. (They all don't depart at the same time.)

Also showing at the Discovery Center is the Thomas & Friends: Tale of the Brave. It runs about an hour long, and it has a spooky tale which is perfect for this Halloween season.

We had a great morning exploring with Thomas & Friends. Honestly, I wasn't sure if my kids have outgrown Thomas, but after visiting the exhibit, they love Thomas all over again. Thanks, Discovery Cube, for a fun morning!
