Thanksgiving Point is a diverse 501(c)(3) nonprofit complex that offers a range of educational and family-friendly attractions. The Museum of Ancient Life, Farm Country, the Museum of Natural Curiosity, the Ashton Gardens, and the Butterfly Biosphere provide visitors with engaging experiences. While the staff are friendly and helpful, the surrounding area can be challenging due to impatient and rude drivers. The annual membership is highly recommended, as the complex has many educational and fun activities suitable for all ages, regardless of the weather.
Our family loves going to all the venues at Thanksgiving Point! It is very family friendly and has many activities to keep our kids busy, even over the years.

We only visited the Dinosaur area but our family had a wonderful time. If you've got someone who can't have lactose the ice cream place there has lactose free options and that was a real treat!

So great for young families. Highly recommend for homeschool too.
