Step onto the Island of Sodor where visitors can climb aboard a large model of Thomas the tank engine, race trains along a giant track, work together to sort and load cargo and maintain engines. Children engage in a variety of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) challenges from simple sorting and shape identification to more complex engineering obstacles. As they take on STEM challenges and test their abilities, the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, Victor and others are there to offer encouragement and remind children how “really useful” they all are.
For opening weekend of Thomas & Friends™: Explore the Rails!, we have fun activities planned to celebrate the arrival of this traveling exhibit. These are drop-in programs; each takes approximately 10 minutes and are yours to keep.
- All Aboard! Bring the sounds of Sodor to your home when you stop by to make your very own train whistle.
- Chugging Along: Cruise over and decorate a train car that moves with the science of magnets.
Can't make it? Join us Saturday, May 25 instead!
