All Aboard! A Day Out with Thomas Comes to NJ

At MU, we have always been big fans of the #1 blue engine. Thomas the Tank Engine inspires young minds to travel and experience exciting adventures. He has been a favorite for decades and continues to be with very good reason. He is a continual link among various generations and why not? This precocious character has a kind heart, is hard working, and is always enthusiastic.

If your child loves the very useful crew of Sodor, then you will want to bring them to The Delaware River Railroad in Phillipsburg for a Day Out with Thomas. This exciting and interactive event invites children and their families to become part of Thomas’ story as they are able to actually ride their favorite tank engine. On August 13, 14, and 15, families can enjoy this experience of a lifetime! 

There are so many amazing brain boosting experiences kids and parents will enjoy during their Day Out with Thomas! Here are some of the highlights:

• A 25-minute ride with Thomas the Tank Engine
• Meet Sir Topham Hatt, Controller of the Railway
• Enjoy the Bubble Zone
• Check out the Party Corner for fun lawn games
• Visit the pop-up gift shop
• Enjoy Ventriloquist Scott Wagstaff and his Zany Animals
• Hear Thomas talk! Make sure to watch his departure or arrival at the station to hear him greet guests. He even blinks his eyes and moves his mouth.

Want even more adventure? Take the River Train to the Susquehanna Mine! This unique experience takes the same route, but makes a stop to enjoy mining for gem stones. Guests can find gems such as amethyst, rubies, rose quartz, emeralds, crystals, and an arrowhead. In addition to looking for your own treasure, each guest will also get one bag of mining ore from the Ole’ Susquehanna Mine. This excursion is a total of 2 hours and is pulled by Thomas.

Tickets for a Day Out with Thomas are only $21/person. Rides take place on the hour, every hour 10am-5pm. Trains will be running at 50% capacity to allow for social distancing. Ticket holders are welcome to stay as long as they want to enjoy all of the fun before and after their excursion. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit their website.
