Day Out With Thomas™ has become one of our family's favorite events each year. This will be our 3rd year attending and even my 8 year old is still excited to go! There are so many fun activities, that all of your children don't have to be huge Thomas fans to enjoy the day. While my two year old son will LOVE to see Thomas again this year, my younger daughter will probably still enjoy story time, and both girls will still enjoy playing with the giant bubble wands. All three of my kids absolutely love the playground at Greenfield Village each year as well.
