I was browsing the Illinois Railway Museum website when I discovered that the 2007 Day Out With Thomas tickets are already on sale! We had a great time last year and Sammy is already asking about seeing “the HUGE Thomas” again. This year, Sophie will be old enough to enjoy all the activities, too. If you have a toddler who is into trains, this is the must see event of the year.

The Illinois Railway Museum site has this information on the event:

The Ticket price is $16.00 each. All riders of the train with Thomas the Tank Engine™ who have passed their second birthday must have a ticket. Day Out With Thomas tickets include one train ride with Thomas the Tank Engine™ for the trip specified on the Day Out With Thomas ticket, unlimited rides on all other trains and streetcars; all entertainment (puppet shows, live music, magic shows, etc.); and access to all Museum exhibits on the date specified on the ticket. Food, snacks and beverages will be available at several locations around the Museum grounds.

For those of us in the Midwest, there are five days to choose from for the Day Out With Thomas in Union, Illinois:

1. Friday, August 17th
2. Saturday, August 18th
3. Sunday, August 19th
4. Saturday, August 25th
5. Sunday, August 26th

Tickets for the IRM location can be purchased at TicketWeb. Day Out With Thomas tickets were sold out quickly last year, so be sure to reserve yours early. Maybe we’ll see you there! Be sure to check back on our blog in late August to see how it went.
