Shane's Day Out with Thomas

Day out with Thomas came to Strasburg Railway Station in PA. We took the 2+ hour drive there with our neighbour and Shane's friend, Arsh. We have been spoilt with our experience at Thomasland, so Day out with Thomas is not as exciting as Thomasland, but definitely good enough for a good day going gaga over trains. 

The most exciting about the whole experience was Shane going gaga over the trains. He wasn't so much interested in riding the train (in fact, he got bored being in the carriage). He spent a lot of time just looking at the other steam engines at the railway station.

The event was fairly expensive at $28 per person?! We got the Percy Package (ie. ride both Thomas & Percy). We could only have gotten the Thomas ride if I had known... Still, that would have set us back $21 each for a 30 mins ride. There isn't really much other activities to do, and there's a huge store which just makes you spend more money on Thomas products.

Would I go again? Perhaps not, especially if I had to drive over 2 hours to get to it. For just $5 more, it buys you a trip to Thomasland at Edaville.

Excited to see Thomas!!

 We got to ride Percy's carriages too!
