Day Out with Thomas Special Sensory-free Event
Event Navigation
The North Shore Scenic Railroad is hosting a sensory-free Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine. Autism Speaks Minnesota, which worked with the railroad to set up the original Sensory Friendly Day eight years ago, provides special training to all volunteers and staff to make the guest/visitor experience safe and secure.
The event includes all things Thomas, but without the distractions of large crowds, noise, whistles, loud music, bells and confusion. Activities are organized in a manageable series that matches each person’s own pace and comfort.
Tickets are free for kids on the autism spectrum and their parents or guardians. A limited number of additional family tickets are available for sale. Tickets are available at duluthtrains.com/thomas.
The Day Out with Thomas is the biggest fundraiser for the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, with all proceeds going to help fulfill the mission to preserve, present and interpret the history of railroading, especially as it relates to the area.
