Day Out With Thomas Flint Returns August 18-20 & 25-27, 2017

I will receive tickets to DOWT in exchange for promoting the event. Opinions belong to me.

They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight, Shunting trucks and hauling freight. Red and green and brown and blue, They’re the Really Useful crew.

If you find yourself humming this tune often, I have the event for you! Day Out With Thomas at Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad will be returning to Flint, Michigan this August 18-20 and 25-27, 2017.

This event is one of our family favorites, so we’re ecstatic to attend again this year. {See my post from last year highlighting 10 things to see here.}

TICKET INFO

Day Out With Thomas™: The Friendship Tour 2017 ticket prices are $22 for adults and children ages 2 and up, and include a 40-minute ride on the historic narrow-gauge train pulled by Thomas himself. Activities include storytelling, live music, Thomas videos and more — all included in the ticket price. Additionally, Thomas’s friend, Bob the Builder, will be there too.

TIP: Our family prefers to ride the train last since it’s the perfect opportunity to relax after walking around the village. The gates open at 9 a.m. with free parking, so get there early!

DOWT tickets do sell out, so I recommend purchasing tickets in advance HERE. Events happen rain or shine.

OTHER ACTIVITIES AT CROSSROADS VILLAGE

Thomas admission also includes the historic fun Crossroads Village offers. Guests are invited to pack a picnic or enjoy food at one of the three dining options in the Village, ride the carousel, miniature train, Venitian swings and more {prices are $1.25 each ride or 4 rides for $4}.

And don’t forget to visit the farm on the premises too! There’s so much to see, and the grounds are gorgeous.

The entire property is wagon/stroller-friendly, so bring whatever will keep the kids happy. There is stroller parking near the train for the actual ride and nursing stations throughout the property as well. It’s a very well thought out event.

Overall, this is a can’t miss-event for young children and one local families need to do at least once. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you plan a visit. Have fun!
