Are you ready for a Journey with Thomas?

Head to Kennywood Station and climb aboard for an unforgettable journey with the Number 1 Blue Engine! Guests of all ages can hop on a Thomas & Friends-themed ride that takes you along the back side of Kennywood. Along the way, admire the wondrous views of the Monongahela River and the Edgar Thomson Works, the oldest steel mill in the Steel City. It’s a beautiful setting that looks like what you might see on the Island of Sodor on a ride the whole family can enjoy together.

The fun isn’t over yet! With five themed rides and the Big Adventures Play Zone, Thomas Town™ is packed with family fun. Discover this new area of our park entirely dedicated to everyone's favorite Thomas & Friends™ characters. Get ready for some giggles at our live show or book the Thomas Town™ Party Room to celebrate a special occasion the Kennywood way. Or why not come to Thomas Town™ for a memorable school trip? Your students will never stop talking about it.

Thomas Town™ opened in 2018, and we are proud to say it’s one of the largest Thomas attractions in North America. The railroad tracks have been a feature of the Park for decades, so we were more than ready to welcome Thomas and his friends when they arrived. This area perfectly reflects the Kennywood balance of old and new, of tradition and innovation. Not only that, all our attractions in Thomas Town™ are designed to allow parents and children to share the experiences and create special memories together. What are you waiting for? Dive into the world of Thomas and his friends!

Riders under 46” must ride with a supervising companion.
