The butterfly biosphere is one of my favorite places to take my kids. The real life bugs, arachnids, and amphibians are always fun for the kids to look at. The biosphere is a great place to interact with nature and the animals. Theyre is also a lot of exploring to do in the large multi level playground. Great place to take your family!

Great place to take a day trip with the family. There is so much to see and do here that you could go each day of the week and not rush and enjoy, but all possible in a day if you want to do everything. Bathrooms are always clean, air conditioning is on high all summer to make it more enjoyable from the outdoor heat, and there is plenty of parking around the facilities. ️ Our favorite is the butterfly biosphere

Great place to visit with family for friends. I suggest going at 7pm and hanging out till 11pm.. so many things to do. Make sure to visits the insanity point -scary trip- but you need to buy the tickets in advance.

I had so much fun at the butterfly biosphere. Im 38 and this serenity is just what I needed during covid

Went in October 2020. Despite, you know, that thing, everything was open, compliant, welcoming and clean. Went to the dinosaur museum. First time seeing things larger than my debt. Assistants were great.

So many fun things! We got a membership for Christmas last year and I didnt think it would be that great but its awesome! The curiosity museum alone is worth it. But theres the dino museum, the butterfly biosphere, the farm, and the gardens. Not to mention you get discounted or free entry on events! So so cool.

Love this place and I take my daughter and grandson every year to Corn Bellys. Awesome place

It was super fun to come with my family and friends! We didnt go through the spooky area cause i was to scared, but the rest of the part was absolutely amazing!

Great place to hang out specially with kids. Also great for family photos

I love thanksgiving point. I actually worked there as an intern which was super helpful for me because I couldn’t do much in the summer! The people there that help with interns are so nice and really chill people. But all together this is a really nice place to be if you don’t wanna go to far to have a great time with your family.

This was so fun and super kid friendly. First time doing the corn mazes and stuff here. Definitely will be going back next year.

Ive been a big fan of Thanksgiving Point for years. The tulip festival is gorgeous in the spring! The car show was my favorite to go to out of the other car shows in the area. The Museum of Ansient Life is fun for both kids and adults. I used to go there way before I had kids and I was excited to bring my boys there for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. Also the Museum of Natural Curiosity is fun. The deli has delicious food and even tastier ice cream. We enjoyed our trip and will be coming back.

Great place to bring your family to see movies!! Especially The Santa Box!!!

The Museum of Ancient Life is one of the few places where you can stand at the feet of a brontosaurus, see how fossils are extracted and preserved, and measure the fangs of a smilodon. Its an amazing place with a fantastic staff. Great for kids of all ages.

Dear Board Members,Your reputable establishment is once again advertising on a billboard located at 1800 South in Orem, Utah. It is our opinion this billboard is unnecessarily tall and bright, with very intense lights that are designed to project, flash and light the night sky. Due to those features; and its close proximity to residential areas and a historical city park, we feel this billboard is environmentally insensitive and invasive in nature.We respect your right to advertise your wonderful story telling festival - but with so many advertising opportunities for billboard advertising in Utah County, would you consider moving your advertising to non-residential areas? With that move, your advertising is sure to be met with a favorable response, rather than the unfavorable one we feel is being generated towards your organization, based on the negative impact your advertising is having on the many residents and park visitors in this part of Provo/Orem.Lakeview, Grandview and Lakeshore Residents - lakeviewresidents1@gmail.comaffiliated with Dark Sky Community, Scenic Byway Advocates and Scenic Utah

Love it! Always something new. The old favorites are great as well. Just wish there were photos of canopy adventures.

There ate so many fun museums there and activities. Corn bellys maze is super fun. Highly recommend it!

We were so glad the Farm Country has reopened! My kids loved seeing all the animals and the pony ride. Definitely worth the $10 entry fee.

Loved the Wild Wonders show and the wonderful food smell in the air. Even though it was very cold we enjoyed spending time as a family.

To think this place used to be a swamp blows my mind. The gardens are so well taken care of. Theres so many flowers and a man made waterfall that just is so perfect. This place is a secret to me. You can chill out and read a book by some shade during the afternoon and come back in the night and enjoy a film with your friends.Luminaria is another story. Its the most incredible light festival youll ever see. Make sure to stop in the greenhouse to check out the extremely detailed gingerbread houses. Get yourself some good hot chocolate. Its so cool, words cant express it. Thanksgiving point does have a lot of Christain landmarks to it and it definitely has its own theme going. Im not into it but it was still so well put together it honestly didnt bother me.And then the Tulips Festival. Its just so beautiful and you cant take enough pictures. Theres honestly so much to do there and so much light coming from one place that essentially resurrected its circumstances and is now one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Its not pricey either.

Fantastic place for family and kids never seen this side of Utah since I moved here last year Definitely one thing to add to the years to come be mindful bring a blanket or layer up and bring gloves and if windy mask and protect your eyes alot of dust but all over amazing my little one and family had a blast so much free things to do even with out a pass for the ticketed things

Wonderful place for bring kids Sorry . Got lot of knowledge about butterflies and ants

Dinosaur museum is great for the little ones. My boy is a bit young and we found the butterfly museum and museum of natural curiosity to fit my 1-1/2 yr old better due to more interactive exhibits. Looking forward to dinosaur museum when he is older though.

Really cool place. We visited the butterfly biosphere. It was well done, but I docked a star because it was super expensive for about 20-30 minutes of entertainment. There are a lot of things for kids to do but again I feel the price was too high.

Beautiful!!!**if youre handicapped (*its a 2 mile jaunt, down then back up) rent a golf cart. Share it with a friend

Their covid precautions are exceptional. It felt like we were the only people there on this holiday weekend. They were constantly cleaning, and the exhibits were as excellent as ever.

Mediocre to good museums and other events that would be great if they cost 1/3 as much. Pricing seems calibrated precisely to try to force you into buying annual passes. That’s fair, but pretty frustrating if Thanksgiving Point isn’t super convenient to your home.

Attractive place, well maintained. I was there for a wedding reception in the outdoor garden area and it was very nice. The setup was great and the staff was great and the food was great. I wish it wasnt under the cloud of a pandemic and everyone needed to wear masks.

There is so many things to do! The Museum of Natural Curiosity was full of children running around and actively playing with their parents! This is a wonderful safe environment for any age group.

Thanksgiving point was beautiful. So many nice paths for walking and golf carts all around. The people were nice, and it was wheelchair friendly. Finished out our day with delicious food from the resturaunt. 5/5

Thanksgiving point is still a worthwhile destination, though its lost some of the charm it had ten years ago. The left side of the complex has a sit down restaurant called Harvest($$) and a Deli/Ice Cream Shop. The right side has been converted into the Butterfly biosphere. There is handicap parking, wheelchair entrances, and public restrooms. The mini gardens behind the complex are also worth looking at though the true gardens are somewhat removed from the complex. There are numerous museums attached to Thanksgiving point: Museum of Ancient Life boasting some impressive dinosaur fossils, Cornbellys corn maze, Museum of Natural Curiosity and Gardens.

Cool place to take a day trip with the friends and family. There staff is really nice and food is great.

Just an amazing place... the butterfly biosphere, ancient life museum, working farm and proximity to Ashton gardens and the museum of natural curiosity (a must for kids) are all great.The focus on family activity is the whole point here. It is beautiful and amazing beyond description.The connect pass that my wife found allows us entry into everything for an entire year.Each of the places also offers a one day explorer pass, which offers a hefty discount.

Fun place! Lots of things to do. I visit frequently, as lots of my hobbies take place here.

It was so fun my family enjoys going there to see the dinosaurs it is so much fun like if the dinosaurs we’re alive still.

My kids sure love the Dinosaur Museum (Museum of Ancient Life)! I do too! I love the theatre at Thanksgiving Point as well! The Museum of Curiosity is also so great for kids! The farm too. There is so much to do here, all the time. Last time we went I ate at the little cafe located inside the Dinosaur Museum. I had a sandwich and it was yummy. I would eat there again. Each place within Thanksgiving Point deserves a full review of its own because there is so much to see here!

This place is for all ages. From toddles to the young at heart. There are many hands on things that keeps the kids entertained and parents having the one on one experience with their kids. Things to climb, squeeze, hold and learn. So make sure that you pack something to eat and enjoy a full day of wonder.

Beauty, peace and joy is what we find consistently at Thanksgiving Point. And with Covid 19 concerns, we also find safety and security. They are doing a magnificent job of making a great place to visit. We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful place to go!

I played nine holes today and met a great school teacher soon to retire I hope not we need more teachers to go into office for the state these are the people that should make decisions for are state and country because are future depends on teachers like I met today

This the very beautiful place. Nature all around you with beautiful flowers, running streams, small lakes, fishes. This is one of the most beautiful place to visit if you want to feel peace and nature around yourself. There is a section called secret garden I think that was something unique that I have experienced. If you go on Tuesday in August its just $2. I would recommend to visit this place at least once.

It was a fun family outing! The baby goats are so cute!! Our 3 year old loved the pony ride!

Can someone please tell me how and why they charge so much to see their Christmas lights. Lights are great but no way worth that much!

Went to the dinosaur museum, fun for kids, but $20 a person seems a bit much. Wouldnt go more than once every five years

We love this entire venue! Dinosaurs and butterflies, and farm animals, it has everything! We bring some of our grandkids every weekend. There is so much for them to do and see. Such a learning experience. The Grandparents Pass is worth its weight in gold. We very highly recommend this place!

I really enjoy all the venues at Thanksgiving point. The staff is very courteous and helpful. You can tell they put allot of time and effort into making their gardens, museums, exhibits and overall experience enjoyable for their guests. This is definitely one of the best places to visit in Utah County. I highly recommend Thanksgiving point.

Thanksgiving Point is amazing! They have the coolest events and experiences for families. We love their beautiful Tulip Festival, fun Harvest Festival, and Festive Luminaria. If youre looking for something to do, Thanksgiving Point has something ready for every season. The best part is their statues depicting the life of Christ. Such a beautiful way to celebrate the Savior of the World.

We went to the Butterfly Exhibit. It was breathtaking!!!!! A magical world that bestows a much needed break from day to day monotony. It is quite humid so dress light. I highly recommend the insect, spiders, and scorpions. They have UV flashlights that make the scorpions light up.Delightful for all ages. There are fun play grounds for little children in the shapes of bugs ans cocoons. In addition there is a fun little gift shop.Last but most important: The staff are kind, engaging, and educated.

Thanksgiving Point is so worth the price! My family got the “Explorer Pass” so we could see every exhibit they had to offer, including the seasonal Tulip Festival. It was such a long day because there was seriously SO much to do! Well worth it! Loved it!

Lots of fun for the whole family. Cornbellys is such a great family outing during fall.

Such an awesome place! Its worth making a day trip or a drive out to Lehi (or stop in your way through town) to visit the awesome venues here. Theres a dinosaur museum (Museum of Ancient Life), a childrens museum (Curiosity), Farm Country (where you can see and pet farm animals, ride a pony and a hay ride), the amazing Ashton Gardens with huge waterfalls, a koi pond and bunch of cool mini-gardens within, and the Butterfly Biosphere, where you can actually walk into a giant open area with butterflies from all over the world flying around.There are also restaurants and a movie theater and hotels right there, but Thanksgiving Point itself is a huge non-profit and survives with the support of the community. Its a fantastic place. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Luminaries, was just fantastic. The lights were so pretty and walking in this environment was magical. My sis, Marisol, is amazing. She took me here to get rid of my stress and it worked.

My daughter loves the butterfly exhibit. Amazing how the butterflies land on people. What a close up experience for all ages.

This is a wonderful place to take the family for a dinosaur adventure. Great for kids. Didnt get a chance to explore all of it but had a great time

Butterfly biosphere never disappoints. I have a 9 month old and a 2 year old and we play for hours in any of the exhibits.

I took my 5 & 3 year old boys to the Museum of Ancient Life today and it was awesome! They loved seeing all of the fossils and playing with the dinosaurs in the play area. We went into the gift shop afterwards and I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the souvenirs were. We got a geode, a fossilized T-Rex head, and a dinosaur egg. It was awesome since we got to continue the adventure at home! We had hours more fun digging for fossils and it was a great bonding experience. Can’t wait to go to the next exhibit!

First time there and we loved it! We visited the Butterfly museum and the Museum of ancient life.The whole family enjoyed it!

I love this place so much its so big and beautiful

We love going to Thanksgiving Point.Here are some of our favorite things to do there:1. Tulip Festival -- Go in the springtime because its when the gardens are the best (IMHO).2. Rent a golf cart if you do the gardens. Its fun with the kids and theyll think youre the coolest parent in the entire world.3. Butterfly Biosphere. You arent SUPPOSED to touch the butterflied but rule only works to your benefit if one actually finds a perch on you. Theyre huge.4. Labor day Luau. Its like the Polynesian Cultural Center Luau and night show wrapped into one. So great.5. Eat ice cream at the Tower Deli.

Animal country is my favorite. Love those animals. They act like theyre never fed. They eat all day with those yummy oats. Team members are amazing.

Great experience at CornBelly’s!!! Even with the pandemic they found a way to keep it fun! Thank you!

We visited the farm area. We decided to go on the pony ride. My niece that is 7 was bucked off scared horse and stepped on by the horse and pretty badly injured. Staff was not helpful and they kept ride going. Didnt offer to help pay for medical bills for injury caused. No managers were there to help take care of problem. If the child was smaller they would have been severely injured. I would advise parents with small children to avoid this ride for the safety of their child.

Love this movie teathre

One of the best museums I’ve ever been too. Plenty of things of interest for both kids and adults!

Thanksgiving Pount is always so much fun. Theres so much to do with the Museum of Natural History, Museum of Natural Curiosity, the real working farm and the butter fly sphere. They also have the Tulip Festival happening as well.

Ashton Gardens is one of the most beautiful places. The flowers are unique and gorgeous, the landscaping is top notch. I love that gardens all over the world are represented. There is an Italian Garden with a fountain that flows down tiers like the roman steps. There is a Secret Garden taken from the Book. There is a Rose Garden, a Fragrance Garden. The Garden that is the most stunning is the Light of the World Garden that features statues from events in the life of Christ created by Angela Johnson. It has 15 scenes with 35 statues. It is a beautiful place for quiet reflection.

Love what this place has become. Its got a bit of everything.

Beyond Amazing ... Worth every penny.

We were nominated for an annual pass to Thanksgiving Point because my daughter has Down syndrome and autism. It was awesome! Well laid out with lots of quiet spots to regroup and relax, even on a busy day! Thanks so much for a creating a fun, inclusive venue!

Went to a Halloween drive through experience.It was fun!

Great place to bring the whole family! Dinosaur exhibit is great! Butterfly biosphere is awesome! Great place to visit for the day. Costs about $150 for a family of 5 for the day to visit all exhibits.

Our family always has a great time. We love the farm the most.

Truly a wonderful place to take family. Everybody is so kind. We spent 6 hours there one day and went to both museums the farm and the Rope course is amazing. If you visit any place in Utah this is the place to go. Memberships are not too costly for the year and are very affordable especially for being a single mom.

The dinosaur museum is fun for the entire family. I recommend looking for all the hidden gnomes.

When the tulips are in bloom, there is no garden more beautiful to me than the Ashton Gardens Tulip Festival. I especially liked the Klompen hunt this year.The Butterfly Biosphere is almost surreal. The many, many big, beautiful butterflies that flitted around me and throughout the Biosphere filled me with delight. It was very warm in the Biosphere, so dress accordingly.

Thanksgiving Point is amazing! There is some thing there for everyone.

So fun! We loved the petting zoo. The animals are so friendly and interested in kids! My son loved doing the horse ride. The workers are happy and fun too. We liked doings the farms music time. So fun with instruments and fun kid songs!

Delightful farm animals with babies that everyone was thrilled by. A visit to the deli for ice cream was a perfect ending. I love farm country.

Extremely friendly staff who are quick to offer information and answer questions. Great venues and the entire place is clean and comfortable. Lots of interactive activities for kids.

Its nice out and not even raining, why are you closing at 4

The butterfly biosphere is an awesome place to go with friends and family. We have been several times already, our little girl loves it. You can take the little ones to a creepy crawly exhibit, see beautiful butterflies in a big greenhouse, and so much more. Oh and their playhouse is huge and awesome!

We went to the Butterfly Biosphere at Thanksgiving Point today and it was a wonderful experience. It was really educational and the butterflies were beautiful! There were plenty of them to see and the plants growing in the exhibit were so pretty too. There are other interactive exhibits that are under construction, but when everything is ready to go, it will be perfect.

Love this place for my kids. The museum is amazing. The theater is very pricey but with the rewards program and other options like ice cream it really is awesome. The golf course is amazing. Always elite level grounds. Price is very good considering all the other courses you could play for more and less magic. Wonderful pro shop and play is always consistently at a great pace, except weekends...but that happens anywhere. The restaurant is fantastic and if I lived closer I would be there much more. Great complex with great amenities. I havent even talked about the gardens! Or festivals. Great job Thanksgiving Point. Im thankful for you.

Beautiful exhibits and lots of cool information.

This museum actually was much more then i even imagined it to be the kids had so much fun. On Saturdays they feed the gar fish. And Tuesdays in August are 2 dollars.

Wonderful! We had a great time and all the staff was nice.

Great place, but be prepared to spend some money.

Lived the gardens. Beautifully maintained and easy to socially distance. Very peaceful and beautiful.

If youre going to come here often you should buy a membership. There are a lot of perks being a member. Not only do you get into many locations and events for free, the higher end events you get a significant discount.They have events there for every season. Places like the Curiosity Museum and the Museum of Natural History are amazing. So much fun for kids and adults.The Monarch biosphere is way cool, its something you cant do anywhere else around here.The events like Luminarias and the Tulip Festival are beyond description. They really go all out for them. So beautifulThe Garden of Light (I think thats the name of the statue Garden inside Ashton Gardens?) is a place of peace and reflection.Kudos.

We loved. The boys had fun!!! Their where so much activities. We ate tacos from one of the truck delicious. Bounce houses .... plenty of egg hunt for all ages till 12.

Everything inside is spensive but its fun

Beautiful place to have a walk with family. Its been taken care

Went to visit Thanksgiving Point last week in Utah and it was a pleasant experience. My daughter enjoyed the butterfly biosphere where we got to see a variety of butterflies, bugs and fun interactive games. Definitely a nice place to visit if youre in the area or passing through to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Fun place to visit. The staff were all extremely professional and very helpful.

It is an interesting place with fun things to do. We went and grabbed a couple of desserts. She bought the cheese cake and I got the somores. Hers was great and mine not so much. I would stay away from the somores.

We go on two dollar Tuesdays in August to curiosity museum and farm land, then we get ice cream afterwards. Its super crowded on the cheap days but worth the savings. The kids love the animals, love to feed the goats and chickens, and love to ride the horses. And they love to explore and learn at the curiosity museum.

We had so much fun here and also we realized that for low income families who can provide proof of their EBT cards get a fantastic discount! Really our kids had a blast and we only went to one of the museums. We are definitely going back to see the rest of them!

Went to Salt Lake City UT last week and visited this center. They had 4 different exhibits to see and we choose the butterfly biosphere. Very cool experience, had the chance to see different butterflies, bugs, beetles, and spiders. They had a small interactive area where you can play games and use the microscope to see different bugs. The butterfly room was very cool too and we had the chance to see different butterflies from around the world.

I love this place! It was my first time going with my husband, and we stopped at the Butterfly Biosphere. It was great, but suuuuper crowded. I would recommend going during the week, in the middle of the day. We went on a holiday, and it was very busy. Other than that, it was super fun! We’ll definitely be stopping by again when the weather warms up!

One of my favorite places. I lived in Utah for almost 15 years before moving and even after moving we still visit. they have many options of amazing places to go. the gardens are beautiful, there are many fun places for people of all ages, and it has amazing staff. I am always exited to go there and I hope to return soon.

Thanksgiving point is an amazing place for anyone in Utah! It is very similar to golden gate park in San Diego, with museums, gardens, banquets, and much more! 10/10 been going here since I was young and will continue to until I die!
