The Northwest Railway Museum invites children to treat their dads to a special train ride aboard the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad on Father’s Day weekend, June 19 and 20.

Fathers ride free all weekend when accompanied by their paying children, of any age.

Last year more than 500 dads enjoyed a free ride with their children during the two-day event.

Trains depart every 75 minutes beginning at 11:01 a.m. from the Snoqualmie Depot at 38625 S.E. King St., and at 11:26 a.m. from the North Bend Depot at 205 McClellan St.

Roundtrip fares are $8 for children ages 2 to 12, $12 for children ages 13 to 61, and $10 for children ages 62 and older.

This year, the Northwest Railway Museum is Washington’s only host of the Day out With Thomas event, which is scheduled for July 9 to 11 and 16 to 18 at the Snoqualmie Depot. Tickets are on sale now at the Snoqualmie Depot and via TicketWeb.
