Thomas Family Day runs Saturday, August 15, 2026 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum, 1649 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego. All activities are included with museum admission.
What to Do
The day centers on Thomas & Friends, with hands-on crafts and a museum-wide scavenger hunt. Two Thomas-themed model railroad displays anchor the event: an Island of Sodor layout by NTrack Express, and the West Coast Thomas Modelers Tomy exhibit.
Good to Know
There is no full-size, rideable Thomas train at this event. The activities run inside the museum.
The day suits San Diego families with young Thomas fans and anyone who follows the museum's model railroad layouts.
