Local Love: Day Out with Thomas

By

DOWT2016_logo_ReadySetGo_TF_Bevel
This is the final weekend for the Lebanon, Ohio Day Out with Thomas event and if you have little ones that love trains you should make this a must do in your weekend plans. I took Ezra and his best little buddy this past Sunday and they had the most amazing time. The boys were in absolute awe of seeing Thomas up live and in person.

The Lebanon-Mason Railroad is located about an hour and 15 minutes south of Columbus in an adorable little town. If we hadn’t have had two very over stimulated boys, I would have loved to shop or grab lunch in some of the cute little stores. The train event has a food cart, lemon-aid stand and some other snack options with picnic tables. You might even want to consider packing a picnic lunch to eat while playing some of the fun games they have outside.

Day Out with Thomas
In addition to the 25 minute ride on Thomas, there are two inflatable bounce houses, a tent filled with toy trains to play with, the option to meet with Sir Topham Hat, a story time tent and of course a shop to load up on all your favorite Thomas trains.

Here are all the details you need to know check out Thomas this weekend. I took a peak at the available tickets and there are still great tickets available! While I know “Car 1” is the popular car, one your child is on the train, they really won’t know the difference. The train makes a nice 25 minutes drive up the road, they play popular Thomas the Train songs and hand out certificates to all the children.

Here are all the details you need to know to take your kids to see Thomas this weekend!
