At Edaville, USA they have a train that goes through a fairy tale forest so that you can see the actual location where the cow jumped over the moon, and if you've ever wondered where the gingerbread man lives, you can plainly see he lives with his family in a gingerbread house of course! At Christmastime, they have lots of light displays that the train runs through.
They also have kiddie rides and old engines that the kids can climb all over. It's great anytime of year. However, once a year, someone special comes to visit.
Thomas the Tank Engine! And they have a tent set up where there's a story time and a music show where they let the kids play along with whatever instrument they'd like. There was a music parade too, which was very cute, and the kids and parents got to march all around the tent.
Finally, the main event. A ride on Thomas through the fairy tale forest. It was a nice, 20 minute ride...not too long, not too short. The breeze was lovely. We went on one of the few days when there was some sunshine. Of course, just about as soon as we left, the rain came back, but we had a lovely Day Out with Thomas.
The best part of the whole day was when my son first saw Thomas driving around the rail. He was absolutely beside himself with excitement, and he broke out into a run crying out, "Thomas! Thomas!". Thankfully, we were far enough away that I could catch up with him long before he got to close to the train! But it was absolutely adorable. My son had a wonderful, wonderful time, and my infant daughter enjoyed herself too.
So, if you're ever in the area with little kids, it's a great place to go.
