One of my favorite events is Day Out with Thomas at the Strasburg Railroad! We always have so much fun and this year was no different. We went to Day Out with Thomas on Wednesday and we stayed for over 4 hours! There were so many activities (that are included with your ticket), that we didn't want to leave!

First we took a ride on the Thomas train through the Lancaster country side. Not only did we have Thomas pulling our train but we got to see farm land, animals, and horse and buggies in a beautiful setting! We loved the train ride and we even got a special visit from the conductor!

After the Thomas train ride we strolled through the old fashion shops at the Strasburg train station. I love going through the shops and the kids love getting smashed pennies, the photo opportunities and the coin operated rides. At the end of the train platform is my daughter's favorite part, the cranky cars! The cranky cars are included in your tickets and you can ride them as many times as you would like. My daughter rode them at least ten times!

After the cranky cars we went over and saw Percy. The Percy train ride is available with the Percy package. We did not get the Percy package this time but we still love to visit Percy and watch him pull away!

Then we headed over to the big white tent! The big white tent it full of fun! You can get photos with Sir Tophamm Hatt, story time and videos, temporary Thomas tattoos, interactive music/entertainment, and Imagination Station with train tables and more! All of that is free and included with your ticket!  We spent over two hours in the tent. Her favorite part was the interactive music session where you can play instruments and sing on the stage with the band!  It was so much fun, I could have stayed all day!  Plus, they have plenty of shopping and yummy food available.
