Here in the Mid-Atlantic, we seem to be missing spring this year. Winter is lingering, and summer is almost here! So what better way to forget the absence of spring and celebrate the beginning of summer than with that little blue engine Thomas? This month, the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore is once again home to the ever-popular Day out with Thomas!

Click here and here for our reviews of previous Day out with Thomas events at the Strasburg Rail Road in Lancaster, PA. The event in Baltimore will be very similar.

On April 27-29 and May 4-6, Thomas will be rolling into Charm City and giving rides as part of the Big Adventures Tour! Thomas rides last approximately 25 minutes. Additional activities include a meet-and-greet with Sir Topham Hatt, live performances from a magician, art-and-crafts stations, Thomas Power Wheels, more train tables and Thomas toys that you’ve ever seen assembled in one place, and storytelling sessions, among other things.

Plus, everything normally available and on display at the wonderful B&O Railroad Museum will be open: the carousel, kiddie train rides, and the amazing collection of locomotives and train cars in the Roundhouse and North Car Shop.

Frankly, if your kids love trains and/or Thomas, this event is everything they could ever want.
