Thomas the Train comes to Grapevine, Texas

Show me a little one who is fascinated with trains and I’ll bet they are a HUGE fan of Thomas the Train!   My boys have loved Thomas the Train from the very beginning.  And how can you not?  These soft spoken, individually named engines have fun little stories behind them.

Do you have a little guy or gal who loves Thomas the Tank Engine too??  Then you must take him to ride on Thomas!  We did with both our boys (and girl) when they were younger and all 3 of them were thrilled to “see” Thomas up close & personal.  Luckily, Thomas really likes North Texas, as he visits Grapevine every Spring.

We took our little guy last year and he LOVED it! Still talks about it to this day.  Obviously, the ride on Thomas is the highlight.  Honestly, a ride on any train is fantastic to a little one, but because Thomas is pulling it makes it even more special.

The train ride lasts for 25 minutes and is fun.  As you settle into the historic train cars, you can image the miles these cars have put on over the years.  The conductor “punches” your tickets and presents you with a certificate.  But really, the kids just want to watch the world go by……

And there is a lot more offered at the event than just the ride.  We also enjoyed the story-telling, arts & crafts, and meeting Sir Topham Hatt.  And even though his collection at home was bigger, my little guy just wanted to play with all the trains.  I guess it’s more fun somewhere else?

They also feature an excellent gift shop with loads of Thomas merchandise. And professional photographers will be on hand to snap pics with your family & Thomas.

It is a very well organized event and one that we will remember fondly.
