Tips

Great day out Thomas events fantastic

I found this attraction to be perfect for my 3 year old, the staff were friendly & the light railway enjoyable. My little one especially loved the train ride near the entrance which was only 50p per ride & added more fun to the experience.

Fantastic day out Thomas days are great!
