Kids are getting out of school and if you have little kids, you’re probably already planning their summer activities. Here’s one to add to your list! Thomas the Tank Engine will be at Tweestie Railroad in Blowing Rock this summer.

According to WCNC, there are two events that you can attend. The ‘Day out with Thomas’ will be June 9 through June 12, and again June 15 through June 18. The day features train rides pulled by a lifesize Thomas. How cool! Kids will love this!

Tickets are $60 for anyone aged 13 and older. Children between the ages of three and 12 are $40. Children age two and younger are free. If you’re planning to go, I’d buy tickets sooner than later as they’ll probably sell out.

I loved going to Tweetsie when I was a kid. One of my cousins would come down for the summer from New Jersey, and we’d always take her there with us. Great memories! Tweetsie also has three new rides this year, and you can find out more about them here. 

Thomas will join his friend Percy at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer from September 22 through 24, and again September 29 through Oct 1. If you can’t get to Tweetsie this summer and your kids really love Thomas, you can plan for a fall outing. Info on that event and ticket details are here.
