If you have small children, especially if you have boys (like me) then they most likely LOVE Trains. Thomas® has made sure that my son has all the DVDs, has all the movies, all the tv shows, etc…oh yes, not to mention all the trains and tracks and tunnels…etc…
But there is more than that, you can actually go on real train rides (and not just the MBTA, although that is probably the cheapest option). In fact, my father in law just learned about The Polar Express train http://www.wakefieldmusicboosters.com/polar-express-2009.html which will run from Anderson Woburn station to the North Pole for December 13th! I love this because not only will my son love (and I mean L.O.V.E.) the train ride, he will also get to enjoy the story of The Polar Express® (from the movie and book) and we will get to see the smile on his face.
There is also the Train show at The Wilmington Shriners’ coming up too, http://www.trainshow.org/showinfo/200911WIL.htm on November 22nd. This is a lot of model trains that are put together and they do have a BIG section for just Lego land (my personal favorite) where they put a lot of legos together to make it one big scene with trains and buildings and people and and and…I digress…it’s all for the Shriners, so I like that too.
Of course there is the Hobo Railroad http://www.hoborr.com/ that you can go on, but that is in NH, and I think that there is a real Polar Express train ride too in NH, but I believe that there is a waiting list to get on (and it would take a year to get on it…)
That’s all the trains I can take…Have fun with your kids and take a train ride to remember.
