ENHANCED SAFETY MEASURES: The health and well-being of our guests and employees is our primary concern, and we have made the following adjustments to ensure all can safely enjoy Thomas’ party. Some of the measures in place for Day Out With Thomas include:
- Masks required for guests ages 5 and up. (Masks recommended for guests ages 2-4).
- Why do we still require masks? Transportation Safety Administration regulations currently require all railways, airlines and buses to have persons masked through September 2021. Though social distancing regulations are loosening in much of the region, the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad’s falls under the jurisdiction of the FRA and TSA regulations. We ask that all visitors over the age of 2 and require for those over the age of 5 to wear a mask that covers both nose and mouth while visiting.
- Limited capacity entry to the event, allowing for safe distances to be maintained throughout the event and aboard train ride.
