They’re two. They’re four. They’re six. They’re eight.
Shunting trucks and hauling freight.
Red and green and brown and blue,
They’re the really useful crew.
All with different roles to play,
‘Round Tidmoth Sheds or far away.
Down the hills and round the bends,
Thomas and his friends.

For two March fun-filled weekends in March (14-15 & 21-22), Thomas & Friends ’round the bends and returns to Tampa Bay for another Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015.

For a third year in a row, my family and I were given with tickets to spend the Day Out With Thomas in an exchange for a review/giveaway and my four year old Thomas fan can’t wait! He’s not much for meeting the characters, such as Sir Topham Hatt or listening to the storytelling, however, he does love everything else about the event. You can read more about our past Day Out With Thomas experiences here and here.

    My Daddy is a model railroader! (like a legit one, he’s kinda famous for it!) I love trains! Wish they had stuff like this when I was a little kid!

  2. Denise says:

    I’ve always wanted to take my son to this and being that he’s 5 I’m running out of time before he grows out of liking Thomas! Thanks for the chance!

  3. Jennifer H says:

    My son is obsessed with Thomas! We have every train set and every train! He would love to ride the train and then watch the motorized trains that are usually set up there!

  5. Dana S says:

    My family would love riding the train the most. My 3 1/2 yr old would probably love the bouncehouse even more
