Day Out With Thomas Celebration Tour

Once upon a time when our children were small, we discovered Thomas the Tank Engine. We were all instantly in love, especially our son Noah, who knew each and every engine by name as he watched the programs on DVD, and would shout out their names at the end of each show. It was so precious. That was back in the 1990s and we owned every train available at the time. Recently we discovered Noah’s old Thomas backpack filled with the collection of the sweet little trains … they’re still waiting for him to return to play with them, not knowing that he’s currently playing with numbers instead in his Calc 3 classes at Johns Hopkins. So we’ve stashed them away again, this time to wait for Noah and Dana’s future children to love. In the meantime we get to see lots of other little Thomas-lovers come through our door here at The Lodge, often accompanied by their own little collection of trains, most of whom I have never met. This weekend in particular we have many families who will be riding the Thomas the Tank Engine train down at the Conway Scenic Railroad where all Thomas fans are invited to come spend the day and celebrate his 65th birthday. For 65 years, children have been captivated by the courageous adventures of Thomas and his engine friends. This event will take place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the middle two weeks of July this summer. So all aboard for Thomas’ 65th Birthday!

Please note: We have had reports of resale websites selling Day Out With Thomas tickets at exorbitant prices. One gentleman who contacted us had just paid $74.00 per ticket plus a $54.76 service charge and a $14.95 delivery charge for an order total of $365.71...for only four tickets! Conway Scenic Railroad and TicketWeb are the exclusive sellers of tickets for this event and offer the lowest prices. Do not pay more than $18.00 per ticket (plus the service charges that apply through TicketWeb). Buyer beware!
