“Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015” is Coming to Union, IL! @ThomasFriends #DOWT #ThomasObsessed

Disclosure: I will receive complimentary tickets in exchange for sharing my honest opinion and this information.

My family has gone now the last four years and even though my boys don’t really play with their trains anymore, they said of course they wanted to go again this year!  My daughter really got into the event last year so of course we have to continue the tradition with her. Really this is an event for the whole family and I admit I enjoy it!  You can check out my Day Out With Thomas 2014 post, Day Out With Thomas 2013 post, my Day Out With Thomas 2012 post and my Day Out With Thomas 2011 post to see what we thought of it in the past years.

 

All aboard for the biggest and best Thomas & Friends® celebration to date! Little engineers everywhere are invited to celebrate with Thomas when the #1 Engine and his best friend Percy™ pull into Illinois Railway Museum August 15 and 16, August 22 and 23 for Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015, presented by Fisher-Price and sponsored by MEGA Brands and all inclusive Hard Rock Hotels.

This fun-filled event offers little engineers and their families the opportunity to take a ride with Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy, stars of the popular Thomas & Friends series. In addition, children will meet Sir Topham Hatt™, Controller of the Railway and enjoy a day of Thomas-themed activities including arts & crafts, storytelling and more.  The tour, now in its 20th year, will make 42 stops across the U.S. and Canada and is expected to welcome nearly one million passengers in 2015. This year also marks Thomas the Tank Engine’s 70th anniversary and fans are invited to partake in some special celebratory activities!
