All aboard! Thomas the Tank Engine invites little engineers to join him and his best friend Percy for a day of family fun at Day Out with Thomas: The Friendship Tour 2017.

Day Out with Thomas is a fun-filled event that provides children of all ages the

The tour, now in its 22nd year, will make 42 stops across the U.S. and Canada and is expected to welcome nearly one million passengers in 2017. For three back-to-back weekends, children and their families are invited to take a
25-minute ride on their favorite engine, meet Sir Topham Hatt, Controller of the Railway and enjoy a day of Thomas & Friends fun.
In celebration of this year’s theme, Day Out With Thomas: The Friendship Tour 2017 will feature an array of friendship-inspired activities. Attendees will be able to participate in events that encourage and celebrate friendship including photo opportunities, crafts, and a fun activity that invites kids to collect passport stamps throughout the day to receive a trio of Day Out With Thomas friendship bracelets. The 2017 tour theme is in line with this year’s Thomas & Friends global brand campaign, ‘Set Friendship in Motion’ - a campaign that ties together content, social integrations, and event activations across the entire Thomas & Friends franchise to highlight the importance of first friendships and the development of key friendship skills in toddlers.
Thomas the Tank Engine rides depart every 45 minutes, rain or shine. Departure times for Thomas begin at 9AM through 5:15PM each day of the event. After the little ones enjoy their ride on Thomas, guests will also have the opportunity to meet Sir Topham Hatt, the Controller of the Railway on the Island of Sodor, and Percy the Little Green Engine!
But wait, there’s more! Included in the ticket price, attendees have access to unlimited
riding on five carnival rides, a petting zoo, face painting featuring Day Out with Thomas characters, Isle of Sodor Storytelling, a special Thomas the Tank Engine video theater & magic show, and Thomas the Tank Engine & Megablok play areas!
