We expect to have tickets available on the day of event for purchase at the gates.  However all tickets are available for purchase online. The only tickets available at the gate will be those that remain unsold online. No tickets are held back for gate purchase.

It is likely that tickets will only be available at the gate for trains later in the day.  Please do not plan to come to the museum early in the day without pre-booked tickets as you will likely face a wait of several hours for the first available train.

The ticket price is $25 per ticket. All riders of the train with Thomas the Tank Engine™ who have passed their first birthday must have a ticket. Day Out With Thomas™ tickets include one train ride with Thomas the Tank Engine for the trip specified on the Day Out With Thomas ticket, unlimited rides on streetcars; all entertainment (live music, magic shows, etc.); and access to all Museum exhibits on the date specified on the ticket. Food, snacks and beverages will be available at several locations around the Museum grounds. Continuing in 2025: You can ride on a train behind Percy. The ticket price for the Percy train is an additional $10. All riders of the train with Percy who have passed their first birthday must have a ticket.
