Day Out with Thomas is probably one of the coolest things a kid can do. Sir Topham Hatt and Thomas the Tank Engine ™ tour the country annually so kids and families can hop onboard. From Tennessee to Texas and Oregon to Ohio, children of all ages can experience their imaginations on a full-size tank engine. We climbed aboard in Fillmore, CA, which isn’t quite the Island of Sodor, but Alex did get to meet the Hero of the Rails. The 25 minute train ride rolled by fast, but the rest of the festival gave every kid a chance to play for hours with Thomas, James, Percy, Gordon, Henry and all their friends on the traditional wooden and plastic tracks. Note to Parents: book tickets well in advance and bring your credit card for the special Thomas gift shop.
The Fillmore and Western Railway Company hosted the local event. The rest of the year, FWRY is # 1 in train film production with freight and passengers cars dating back to the 1860s. Families can enjoy FWRY during all the holiday – New Year’s, Easter, Mother’s Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas – tours. In the summer Margarita Madness and Wine Express are offered for adults, but families can also search for the Headless Horseman during dinner or solve the murders aboard the mystery line tours.
