![]() ![]() We had a lot of walking to do (fortunately we can still get away with a stroller for this little guy). This year, we arrived a little later than the previous year, and they parked us WAY in the back of the lot. The Lee lot is a much bigger lot, and there is some walking involved. Sure, it’s closer and probably faster, BUT here is why I suggest that you continue driving to the Lee lot. The first lot is a smaller lot, and they offer a school bus to transport you to the main event. ![]() They offer handicapped parking on the lot otherwise, you are directed to park in two other areas off site.īoth lots are found on Bokum Street, which is where the signs will lead you. However, because of the size and attendance at Day Out with Thomas, that is just not possible. Normally, when you attend an event at Essex Steam Train, there is parking on site. So you won’t have to worry about struggling to find a seat.Įssex Steam Train recommends that you arrive AT LEAST ONE HOUR before your scheduled train ride on board Thomas. They only sell as many seats as they can handle, and no more than that. We are not morning people, and since we still deal with naps, we book our train ride mid-day. And of course, there is the option of taking the last train of the day. Other people take their train ride mid-day, and either arrive early to enjoy the activities, or arrive right before the train ride and then stay for awhile afterwards. Some people like to take their train ride early in the morning, and then stay for a while to enjoy the other activities. When you buy your ticket, you not only pick the date you wish to attend, but you also need to pick a time for your train ride. This event is rain or shine. On the day of our train ride, we actually had rain in the forecast, but by some small miracle, the clouds broke and by noon we had a perfect day! We chose the last weekend of the event, in hopes that we would have nice weather. The tickets are delivered rather quickly, so you’ll want to keep them in a safe spot, that you won’t forget about! Because you need to bring those tickets with you! They are not only your admission to the event, but they are also your train ride ticket and ensure that you can get on the train at your scheduled time.ĭay Out with Thomas is held on three weekends, usually at the end of April and into May. Otherwise, if you buy closer to the date of your train ride, you’ll have to pick them up at Essex on the day of the event. ![]() If you want to have the tickets mailed to your house, you’ll need to act fast and buy tickets early. In previous years, you could buy tickets for Day Out with Thomas at the gate but this year, they only sold tickets online. ![]()
