All Aboard: Thomas the Tank Engine Train coming to Canalside Station

The Explore & More children's museum has teamed up with the NFTA to bring 'Thomas the Tank Engine Train' to the Canalside Station this summer.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Choo Choo! Thomas the Tank Engine Train is joining the Explore & More children's museum down by the newly constructed Canalside Station this summer.

In a special collaboration between the Explore & More and the NFTA, Thomas will be unveiled on Tuesday, June 11 at 10 a.m.

The train was designed by the 'Thomas and Friends' team at Fisher-Price and Mattel to bring to life the beloved children's character. It is the perfect opportunity for families with children, and young rail enthusiasts to check out a fun experience on Buffalo's waterfront. 

"We are excited to bring this iconic train to Buffalo, creating a magical experience for children and families. The collaboration with Explore & More Children's Museum aligns perfectly with our mission to serve and connect the community,” said Kim Minkel, Executive Director of the NFTA.

“This partnership between the NFTA, Fisher-Price, Mattel, and the museum truly brings Thomas the Tank Engine to life in a new and exciting way,” said Michelle Urbanczyk, President & CEO of Explore & More. “We’re so happy to tap into that sense of wonder children will have as they board this train to Explore & More and other locations downtown. What a great way to kick off the summer!”

At the unveiling, those who attend will be able to take fun pictures with Thomas and enjoy family-friendly activities set up by the museum.
