We went in 2008 and this is how it was set up:


There is a little map and if you get a stamp at the 4 locations you get a prize. There are quite a few tents-

a viewing area (has Thomas episodes on a TV)
an imagination tent (has a coloring station, stamping station, a couple of train tables and a big lego Thomas, it gets very crowded in here)
a food tent (reasonably priced)
a diaper changing tent
a magician tent
a meet & greet Sir Topham Hat tent
a nice petting zoo
a maze
the marketplace (every imaginable item, scrapbook kits, scrapbook sets/pages, toothbrushes, t-shirts around $ 13, toys about regular retail)
a climb through an inflatable train
a CVSR tent with a model train set-up

After the train ride they have a photo-op with Thomas, you can use your own camera, their prints are about $15 a sheet and are available online.



It's really a great event, you really could spend all day there. My son and husband went on the train ride while my daughter and I visited the animals.  As the train ride is pretty short (15-20 minutes?) and my daughter wasn't a Thomas fan, I'm glad we only bought 2 tickets for the train ride.
