Beautiful variety of lights and displays. Plenty of treats and snacks for the family. It was a bit crowded but masks are required so we werent worried about anything. Highly recommended!

My family loves this place! I remember running around here as a kid so it is fun to see my little kids doing the same years later. I would recommend buying the fish food for $1 and going over to the ponds during your walk around the gardens.We love the diversity of the areas and how kid-friendly it is. You can find plenty of shade while you walk and sit, which I enjoy. Stroller-friendly as well. Well worth the yearly membership.

Came here for Luminaria.. This would be a cool experience outside of COVID, but otherwise it’s super crowded and unsafe in my opinion. They say it’s a “limited number of people to allow for social distancing,” but it seems it’s only limited to the number of tickets they can sell that night. Hordes of people, many of them not wearing masks. Would be awesome any other year.

I have wanted to visit the gardens for quite a while, but never really did until now. It is 100% worth it.The grounds are a lot more expansive than you would expect and it is very beautiful. The paths cover a lot of ground, but there is always a well placed bench just where you might want to sit. The rose garden and the ponds were absolutely stunning. Loved feeding all of the Koi.Unfortunately the waterfall was closed for maintenance, but overall its a very beautiful and relaxing place to go.

Amazing place at Thanksgiving point. We went in Aug 2019, may not be the best time to visit, however garden was colorful. Great place for kids outing.

Such a pretty place. I like that they have card with the plant information. Its beautiful year round and we love that they are allowing dogs in on Wednesday. We come a few times a year and it never disappoints. Its pretty and relaxing yo walk through, plus you can get some cute pics

What a peaceful and beautiful place. The landscape, the flowers, the ponds, the waterfalls and the sculptures at the Light of the World Garden are spectacular. Ashton Gardens provides a wonderful place for a relaxed walk of 1 to 2 hours. The Light of the World Garden shows beautiful larger than life statues of Christ in several well known biblical scenes. Just this garden would be worth your visit.

This was so wonderful! We were expecting box gardens and didnt expect to spend much time there, but it was like stepping into Alice In Wonderland. Everywhere you looked was photogenic, well-maintained, and so beautifully put together. The rose garden and koi pond were simply magically, and the waterfall part was a delight to walk through. It is most definitely worth the price, and the best place to get some steps in!

LOVE THIS PLACE! The Luminaria light display was such an enriching and fun experience for our family this year:)

Beautiful gardens that you wouldn’t expect to find in Utah. Definitely overpriced though. Go on a day when there’s a discount.More pro tips:1) Be prepared to either walk a lot or spend $$$ to get a golf cart.2) Definitely go on a cold day. There’s quite a bit of shade, but there are still large exposed sections—namely the entire Christ statues section—and much of the walking is up and down hills, which can get tiring pretty quick.

We love to go feed the fish and visit the secret garden. Going through the waterfall is really fun for the kids too. Beautiful, of course. Seasonal events are extra fun. Accessable, frequent benches, restrooms. Bring water though. Also, pretty expensive if you dont have a membership.

Luminaria Update: increased my rating by one star. I actually rather enjoyed luminaria, the entire family did. The kids were mesmerized by all of the lights. They had adequate areas for warming, and the directional paths made it simple to keep the kids going in the right direction. The VIP ticket packages were worth the bottomless hot beverages and the closer parking.Original Review: Brought the kids here for a walk, and dont get me wrong its beautiful, but I feel like theres definitely not much to do other than walk around. Was a little disappointed that the massive hills that would be ideal to roll down had signs to keep of the grass. The large water feature at the time was out of order which was also disappointing. Might be better not with the kiddos.

Beautiful gardens! Amazing! I do have one serious gripe that needs to be addressed. The walk from the parking lot to the front door to the back patio and to the greenhouse where the carts are received is quite far. Having visited with my 96 year old Grandmother (Seniors love gardens too, if not more), the walk was very straining on her. The worst part was that there were no seats for this dear woman in the lobby, or the back patio. Having lived 96 years, it would be a shame to have something as simple as no chairs be the cause of her demise! Get some chairs, please! Show The Greatest Generation how much you appreciate and love them. Please! Otherwise, keep doing the great job you are doing.

Beautiful gardens. The theme of different parts of the world for different flower gardens is nice. My favorite place is the Christ Statues area. Such amazingly beautifully done statues, and such a nice spirit there.

So so beautiful definitely a must see. Perfect for a wedding.

A wonderful garden to visit. Plentiful beautiful flowers, waterfalls, Koi, amazing statues - a wonderful place to visit.Highly recommended

It is definitely worth the price to come here. I took my wife here on a hot date because, sometimes you need to stop and smell the flowers. its good exercise to walk around, abs so many great displays of natures incredible beauty! We really had a great time.

A very pleasant trip to Ashton Gardens. Today was Two-Dollar-Tuesday, so it was very reasonable priced. In spite of the recent heat wave everything in the garden was lush and green. Due to social distancing rules, the gardens were not crowded at all. Bottle refill stations could be found to help us hydrate, and picnic tables were available. We experienced a few mosquitoes, but they werent a big distraction. When closing time approached, a worker pleasantly reminded us of the time once. I highly recommend all nature-lovers come and visit.

If I could give this venue a 0 star I would. I decorated for a wedding at this venue and the employees were not helpful at all! In fact, one employee Kelsie singled out our family when someone from the wedding party allowed us to use their golf cart to transfer some decorations down to the event. As soon as we began unloading the items she asked my sister for the name of the person who rented the golf cart, we did not know as they were just a member of the wedding party and were trying to be kind and helpful by loaning us the cart. She immediately confiscated the keys when my sister told her she had to take it back to them at the top she told my sister If they get mad since you didnt bring it back you can tell them it was me. She did not care that she took away a legitimately rented cart and honestly I felt like she targeted us because of our race. She did not want to help us from the beginning and continued to have a bad attitude as we asked her for help through the process.

Absolutely gorgeous. The highlight was definitely the Light of th World garden. This place is stunning!

We absolutely love this place! The kids love to roll down the hill and feed the fish. I could walk around for hours! Its so peaceful and beautiful. There are benches to sit on all around the gardens and informational signs about the plants throughout. Its not only beautiful, but theres also a lot to learn. I even saw a deer tonight!

The biggest setback of this place is the price. It is beautiful with lots to see. Maintained gardens with beautiful scenery! Well have to go back when the waterfall has falling water. Great place to enjoy a wait. Our favorite garden was The Light of the World garden where beautiful sculptures of Jesus Christ and his many miracles can be seen.

Always beautiful and peaceful. Its nice to get a bit of both in a year like this!

Beautiful and a good length! We spent about an hour and a half here. Its amazing with less people. Quiet and peaceful. Great place to reconnect with nature. It is a little pricey per adult, though.

We have used these beautiful gardens for entertainment, exercise, and physical therapy for several years. We are glad we could visit for the tulips this year, and that we could walk around freely considering all the current restrictions. Our grandparent pass is the best investment we have made.

The walk through the grasses with the Luminaries and the statues depicting the Saviors Life was absolutely breathtaking

Really lovely garden with lots of places to bring a lunch and sit for a while. Plenty of water fountains and bathrooms around as well

The festival of tulips is always beautiful. We walked through with our 18 month old in about two and a half hours with lots of stops and seeing most of the gardens. It is a busy time of year, but so worth it.

Some friends took us to the gardens. The flowers were beautiful and they had multiple gardens with different styles of plants. The waterfall was very impressive and the water features above the falls were just as impressive. The cost posted was $20 a person which seems expensive so see if there are options that might be more economical.

While we have gone many times in the past, today was a little more special as the tulip festival was in full swing. The color was amazing and the grounds were very well kept. A big thank you to everyone involved in making it so beautiful.

The gardens are always so beautiful. I love it on days like today when its not as busy, but even when it is busier Im always glad I came

LUMINARIA. What an amazing experience. I loved it. I took my kids and husband. We spent 2.5 hours walking through the garden. There are small shacks that sell different varieties of food and drinks. There are different scents throughout the light attractions. They have bonfires and a warming tent. There is an area that focusses on Jesus Christ and his life. There are multiple statues softly lit and stand out as a focal point of the attraction. It was amazing and brings the true meaning of the season to heart. This is definitely a must see and come back again.

I love this huge and peaceful garden. The experience is different each time because they change the landscape to the seasons. It is what I imagine the garden of Eden would have been like, except everyone is clothed and there are no serpents.

This is a beautiful place it’s peaceful and a relaxing walk. One of my favorite places to de-stress

Wednesday mornings you can walk your dog there in the summer. Lots of shade. Lovely mist and cool breeze by the waterfall. Excellent activity.

I love this place for any age, any size of group. I have the premium pass, which gets me, my family, and 2 extra guests into any of Thanksgiving Points venues for free. And also a 50% discount on tickets for other guests. Its been well worth it. And if you come when you can rent the segways(when its little slower), you definitely should! Its really fun. The Tulip Festival is absolutely stunning! And we just attended the Luminaria Event. It was incredible, very beautiful. Also, the Trellis Cafe overlooking the gardens, is amazing. Would definitely recommend this place.

Expensive but its a really nice place to take photos @robinteranphotography

We are here every year from out of state for the Tulip Festival, few places in America do it better.

Great Luau Event!!Amazing dinner!! Friendly Staff and great Movie for the whole family!!

We were visiting because of a wedding. Such a beautiful place with a huge waterfall and flowers. The service was excellent from the moment you walk in the front door until the exit.

The place is massive! So much to see and great for large families.

I love the beautiful tulips

Ashton gardens is beautiful! This is a great serene place for family or maybe a date. The Italian garden fountains and the statues of Christ were my favorite.

Went to see the tulip festival with family and had a lovely time. The gardens are gorgeous, staff is friendly and helpful, and there is a ton of different types of scenery, flowers and decor to see. There are ponds with fish and ducks, waterfalls, a myriad of different kinds of flowers, areas both fun and romantic, beautiful statues and so much more to see.

A beautiful garden with a variety of styles - English country, Italian aristocratic and American. There is a pleasant surprise around every corner. I especially lived the front and back of the waterfall garden.

Love walking around here with my wife. It’s a bit pricey but worth going at least once a year.

Flowers were still pretty and the Wuilt Showcwas great.

It a fun area to go and take pictures and go on dates

The gardens are fantastic; especially during the tulip festival.

LUMINARIA is ah-maz-ing! Went this year for the first time with my family. Will definitely do it again. 4-stars because it was friggin freezing and quite frankly, TOO crowded! But they DO a nice job of having warming stations and fire pits. Really great, with unique lights and exhibits. Our favorite is the Christ statue exhibits. Wow.

Love the gardens and so does my dog

Very crowded during the weekend. . . Just better go down there during the week earlier morning as cooler breeze than hot afternoon. . .

This place is amazing! Just a stroll through the beautiful gardens is so relaxing! The events they have here are great.... tulip festival, princess festival, story telling festival and all the other events.The place is huge, drop the extra money and rent a cart one day so you can cover the entire garden. Its worth it.Buy a bag of fish food too, watching the coi go crazy is a lot of fun.

Luminaria was a lot of fun. Work it to be a member and go mutliple times

Well kept gardens, friendly staff. You get a 10% discount off concessions & merchandise with purchase of a membership. We love the Secret Garden and feeding the koi fish at Monet Pond!

I love this place! Its so fun and great for the family.

My family and I loved it here. We went to see Luminaria, and while there we found much more than just a light show. For those religious there is a fantastic sculpture garden depicting many well know biblical scenes from Christs life. We would gladly go back just for that.

Really great place they even have food and heiena tattoos and all kinds of cool stuff they even have a singer there and a huge waterfall. Its really fun they even have a scavenger hunt that you have to find all 24 wooden shoes.

Tulip Festival- A yearly favorite activity of our family. Kids love rolling down the hills and running around. Lots of beautiful picturesque spots. Gardens are beautiful all summer but I do love the tulips!

Ashton Gardens is a great place to take the family. We have come here for their tulip festival, their summer events, Family photos and most importantly Luminaria. My In-Laws have the grandparents pass and we love coming with them!

This place is amazing. Take a date. Walk around. They have fun events and hunts to do for kids especially. Relaxing and rejuvenating for all.

Absolutely GORGEOUS place!!! I definitely reccomend it!!! I only wish our family had purchased member passes every year we lived here...well be moving this summer to the East Coast and Im sad we didnt visit it but once!!!

Loved the scarecrow festival! It was so fun to see everyones creativity.

We love this quiet peaceful place!

Amazing! So peaceful and a perfect place to walk around for exercise. I didnt comprehend how big 55 acres was! Each of the themed gardens are so creative and beautiful, you can tell a lot of work was put into them. I highly recommend visiting!

So beautiful and well cared for!

Beautiful tulip gardens.

Awesome!! Definitely go again!

Love thanksgiving point.But they close the gardens to membership holders every time they have a special event.I paid for a yearly membership to thanks giving point, but now that they’ve put up a “luminary” I must pay an entrance fee to enter the gardens I already paid for. Ridiculous.And no, a member “discount” doesn’t cut it.

Beautiful, but we were way too early in the month to see the tulips at their prime. Loved the sculpture garden.

Many different plants and water features that can inspire people of all ages. Be sure to bring quarters for Koi food. The feeding frenzy is quite intense.

Beautiful lights! Effects! Music! Even smells! The cinnamony warmth of the gingerbread house! The flowery fragrance of the glowing tulips! The invigorating peppermint forest! Wow!

We loved the gardens, the waterfalls and especially the statues of Christ.

Beautiful flowers and fawna

The place was awesome! It was so relaxing and beautiful. I will suggest to stay for at least a couple of hours and rent a golf cart.

Its like nothing Ive ever seen....and it is in our backyard!

Exquisite beauty. The family loved it.

A nice experience for everyone who enjoys Christmas lights. There are stations for warmth, hot chocolate and donuts. Would recommend.

Always a great experience!

Worth every penny! So beautiful.

Very impressive gardens that keep getting better every year.

A must see each year for the annual Tulip Festival!! They take great pride in making the event fun for all ages.

Ashton Gardens is a wonderful, beautiful place to visit. If we lived locally, we would get a membership so we could return as often as we liked. The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful as we checked in. The gardens themselves were even better than we expected. You could spend a whole day here, but plan for at least 3 hours to see and enjoy everything. The 2-hour golf cart rental is well worth the cost. Just a quick note about navigating to the gardens: if you follow Google Maps for Thanksgiving Point, it will take you to the main (water tower) campus adjacent to I-15. However, the gardens are on the Garden Campus, so be sure that you navigate there directly. There is good signage in the area once you know to look for the Garden Campus. For food, we highly recommend the Harvest Restaurant just below the Water Tower on the main campus.

Nice and clean, not many garbage cans though

Loved Luminaria two years ago and had to check out the Tulip Festival this year (we missed it last year). We went on a Thursday night around 5:00 and it was the absolute perfect time. Not too crowded and the weather was great. It was a relaxing evening to enjoy the grounds of Ashton Gardens!

We enjoy this place so much we bought a membership! The different seasons in this master gardner venue are brought to life with clever color combinations and expert care. The once a year tulip festival is the big draw, but going back time and again to savor each themed area is highly recommended!

Luminaria is amazing. Much better than I thought it would be.

Beautiful gardens that are really well kept throughout the seasons. The whole area is clean and has several different types of gardens to enjoy. There are 3 restrooms, the main club house, another at the opposite end of the gardens, then the last at the large waterfall... so make sure to have your kids go before you leave the clubhouse, because is is a little walk to the next one.

Beautiful gardens. Tulip festival is amazing, but beware the weekend crowds.

Beautiful display of tulips and more. Several fun gardens to visit. Beautiful sculptures.

The Tulip Festival@Ashton Park Thanksgiving Point was breathtaking yesterday! Although I think the admission price is outrageous. I understand that all that beauty doesnt come cheap I dont think anyone should have to pay that much to look at flowers.

My 3yr old sister loved it

Just beautiful!

Kind of annoyed with luminaria, they offer discount tickets in advance but when its snowing and freezing cold you cant get a refund. I just threw away $20 Ive heard the festival is amazing but unable to go due to weather.

Had our work party here! Super nice. Staff was friendly and just pretty to walk around!

Great for family gatherings

Beautiful winter display. But contrary to what staff says, this is not wheelchair friendly when the ground is wet.

Luminaria, pricy but fun if you have $20 per person and about an hour of your time. The bronze statues of Jesus Christs life events are the coolest part.

Its so relaxing to get out and enjoy nature so close to home. I loved seeing the newer fragrance garden!

Ashton Gardens is a sprawling, cultivated campus with several unique destinations along about 1.5 miles of paths. Theres quite a bit of lawn, so this doesnt have the same feel as a more natural environment like Red Butte, but the intent appears to be creating the environment of a large estate garden. Theres an impressive waterfall that is actually a series of cascading rivulets descending over simulated rocks. While the whole structure is manufactured, it integrates impressively with the landscape. Theres a quaint secret garden, a stair-stepped Italian garden, and a small fragrance garden towards the bottom of the park. On the northwest of the park is a pond with a school of large colorful koi fish and ducks that are more than comfortable being fed by humans. A pretty rose garden with a large curved pergola and a series of switchbacks along a stream are on the north side of the park. It appears that the gardens were founded by religiously inclined people. Theres a large space with over 30 bronze statues depicting stories of Jesus from the Bible. Whether you are religious or not, however, this is a beautiful botanical park that is worth about two hours of your time. One note, however, its probably wise to check what events may be going on before you go. When we went, the attendance was sparse, but Ive heard from others that there are frequently events that can crowd out a quiet experience.
