We have taken our children to this event a couple of times and both times I was very impressed.

It's not too expensive to get in and you can book online which means you can them avoid the queues when you go.

Initally you go through to the old station where all the old trains are and its amazing to see how big some of these things were, you can wander about on some of the and even look at the old royal coaches

Tomas and his friends are outside in the yard and you can ride on them as often as you like, its just a short trip up and down the track but the kids love it.

There is also a miniature railways to ride on too and the engine shed where some of the other Thomas favourites are. Here the kids can meet the Fat Controller and have their photo taken too.

Finally there is an indoor play area with loads of activites, face painting colouring and making badges etc, all supervised so its a great day out
