May 11, 2021

All aboard! Your favorite train character is making its way back to Baltimore.  Thomas the Tank Engine will be hosting outdoor events at the B&O Railroad Museum on May 14-16 & 21-23, 2021. 

With full health and safety protocols in place, this fun-filled event offers families the opportunity to hop on board an interactive train ride pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine, and enjoy access to family activities including lawn games, live entertainment to include a DJ and Gregory Mays the stilt-walker, photo ops, a bubble zone, special guest appearances from the horses of the First Mile Stable, and more. Grab your Party Pass to track your journey and pick up favors at stops along the way. Say hello to Sir Topham Hatt, the Railway Controller from The Island of Sodor, stop in the party corner for lawn game fun, have a blast in the bubble zone and check out the pop-up gift shop for exclusive Thomas swag! We’re back on track for delivering fun and memories! Say thank you to your child for being good for a year with a special outing to see Thomas the Train! Capacity will be limited and advanced tickets are required.

Weekday Adventures: A Family Tradition at the Zoo, Garbage to Gardens and a special visit with Thomas the Train

April 20, 2014

Hope you all had a nice weekend with family, treats and nice weather. School is probably back in session for most this week, in case Easter Monday is a school holiday, we’ve got you covered with plans. We also wanted to point out a fun outdoor spot for you to to visit; Rock Creek Park Horse Center. You can take your bambino to visit the horses, talk with employees and watch (if you’re there at the right time) some of the horses going for a stroll or being groomed. (We don’t advise going with friends as horses typically don’t like lots of noises/talking.) Bring a picnic lunch or just stop by for a few minutes. It’s a fun place to visit, out of the norm and it’s a free adventure.
