Thomas was fun! The activity tents were all pretty much the same which was disappointing. So was Sir Toppen Hat. The guy didn't even wear a top hat. The best advice to avoid the crowd is to go early to see the tents etc... Then wander around the village and see the history attractions and when the kids get tired of that stop for ice cream. Then ride Thomas and call it a day. The train was pretty cool cause the eyes actually moved. Here are some pics from Greenfield Village:
That is supposed to be sir toppen hat from what I was told.
