Choo Choo! Thomas the Tank Engine is coming back to Grapevine, Texas this year, and you can bet that I’ll be there! Last year was a TOTAL blast, and now that I know what to expect, I’ll be more prepared for a long, full day of fun. If your kids LOVE Thomas, you’ll want to make it to this family-friendly, rain or shine event!
*We were invited to attend with complimentary tickets this year, and my 2 youngest boys will be beside themselves with excitement. Last year, I was so surprised at all of the entertainment available! Besides the actual train ride, they had live entertainment (we saw some great puppetry!), character photo opportunities, played with tons of Thomas and Friends trains and tracks, enjoyed a petting zoo, free temporary tattoos, and several readings of Thomas books. There was also an extensive gift shop, and lots of yummy fair-style food available for purchase, too. It was great for all of my kids!

My best friend has 3 little kids I would take her 3 and my one and make a day of fun for the kids . With both our families being 5 people on one income it’s tough for her and I to get to do things fun with the kids on a regular basis. 🙂

I would take my husband and 2 kids.
Sabrina Cheatham says
I’m almost in tears, I would love to be able to take my 3 year old but more importantly my 12 year old who has Aspergers. He’s had an obsession with trains since he was 2. We have a dedicated “train” room in our house for the boys to go play in that consist of every train my son is given for every holiday and birthday. They both absolutely love playing in there. Thomas has always been a house favorite. My older ones birthday is April 18th and this would make a wonderful early birthday present and my husband is just recently enjoying weekends off so this would be a great family event!
