The world’s most beloved blue engine is rolling into St. Paul! Inspired by the popular children’s series and featuring engines and destinations from Thomas & Friends™, this interactive exhibit engages children and families in foundational skills that foster STEM literacy through playful learning experiences.

Visitors will be delighted as they find themselves surrounded by the Island of Sodor’s iconic locations including Knapford Station and Sodor Steamworks. Children will test their abilities as they help Thomas and his friends solve a variety of challenges, with the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, Victor and others there to offer encouragement.
