Peep, peep! Thomas the Tank Engine™ is pulling into The Henry Ford for three weekends of fun — introducing Day Out With Thomas™: The Party Tour!

Join in on the fun as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Thomas and Friends™ with a one-of-a-kind experience in Greenfield Village — home to the only Thomas™ steam locomotive in Michigan.

Based on “The Railway Series” of classic stories, Thomas & Friends™ is a rite of passage that inspires childlike imagination while teaching lessons of friendship, exploration and cooperation.

You're invited to hop aboard an interactive train ride on Thomas, say hello to Sir Topham Hatt™ and enjoy birthday party-themed games and activities in the Celebration Station. Experience wide-eyed, memory-making moments on a springtime adventure in Greenfield Village, including storytelling, play areas, lawn games, photo ops, live music and more. This milestone celebration is not to be missed.

Since Thomas the Tank Engine™ left the depot 80 years ago, Thomas & Friends™ have chugged into the hearts of preschoolers and grownups worldwide. Spanning generations, this beloved series continues to bring families together, creating cherished memories for parents, grandparents and children alike.

Admission to Day Out With Thomas™ includes a timed ticket to ride Thomas the Tank Engine™ and themed programming for your littlest engineer — plus, all-day access to Greenfield Village for over 80 acres of inspiration and additional fun.

Back by popular demand, we're offering a 9:00 a.m. early-access ticket to be the first to ride Thomas the Tank Engine™ each morning. Simply select the 9:00 a.m. ticket time during checkout for exclusive early entry to the event.
