Day Out with Thomas – Event Info.
Our favorite No. 1 engine is set to roll into Grapevine for the Day Out with Thomas: The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013. All little engineers and their families are invited to take a ride on Thomas and participate in fun Thomas-themed activities. The event will take place at the Grapevine Vintage Railroad on two weekends in April: 12-14 & 19-21, 2013.
For 68 years, children have been captivated by the courageous adventures of Thomas and his engine friends. Pulling out of the station for its 18th consecutive ride on the rails, the Day Out With Thomas: The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013  will visit more than 45 cities in the United States and Canada. Day Out With Thomas is the only place for families to take a ride with a 15-ton replica of everybody’s favorite No. 1 engine, Thomas the Tank Engine, and enjoy Thomas-themed activities at the Imagination Station, including stamps, temporary tattoos and hands-on arts and crafts. Each year the tour grows, traveling to new destinations, adding new activities and welcoming new visitors.
Thomas the Tank Engine, star of Thomas & Friends, on PBS KIDS and Sprout kicks off his Day Out With Thomas: The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 in March and is expected to welcome more than one million passengers through November. During Day Out With Thomas, children will ride with Thomas against scenic backdrops while discovering some mysterious surprises!
