Day Out With Thomas is a family event offering children and their grownups the opportunity to ride a train pulled by classic storybook friend Thomas the Tank Engine. Parents, grandparents, and siblings join their aspiring conductors in the fun.

Due to the Coronavirus, unless the CDC advises otherwise, the hands-on exhibits, such as the imagination station and inflatables, will not be available. Children will receive temporary tattoos, coloring pages, and a free Thomas giveaway in a take-home bag.

The train pulled by Thomas leaves every hour on the hour, 10am-5pm.

The trips pulled by Thomas take you along the beautiful Delaware River to North Carpentersville, New Jersey, a 25-minute ride. The River Train follows the same route journeying further along the river to Edingers with a brief stop at the "Old Susquehanna" gemstone mine. At the mine, you may get off, visit the mine, and learn how to pan for gems. Each passenger receives a bag of mine tilings, a brief history of the mine, and use of the sluice to prospect for their very own gemstones to bring home!
You may also purchase tickets on the day of the event for all trains, though advanced purchase is recommended. Trains to and from the mine depart every hour. Stay at the mine as little as an hour or as long as you like.
