We had such a fun time visiting with our friends from the Island of Sodor! My 3 year old son is obsessed with Thomas and Friends, so it was a dream day for him!! There were several activities to keep us busy before our big ride with Thomas. There was a tent with Thomas mechandise (we spent a lot of time there), a magic show, a really small miniature golf section (perfect size for small children), story telling, a bounce house, a crane demonstration and other activites. We were able to meet and take lots of pictures with Sir Topham Hatt (the line to meet him was rather long but moved quickly...there was neither confusion nor delay ;)) Like I said, we spent a lot of time in the merchandise tent. They had some great stuff! I was glad we stopped there first because we picked up the little engineer cap and my sweet baby wore it all day :) We also got a Thomas whistle, PEZ dispenser, A Day Out with Thomas book collection (I taped our tickets inside
