Thanksgiving Point Reviews

Lots of construction in the area, but a nice place overall. Just be prepared on your way in. Great kids' activities.

On November 2nd, we decided to do a little shopping at the store(main entrance) while waiting for our grandchildren to arrive. We needed some thanksgiving decorations. Very disappointed. >>>No Thanksgiving decorations at Thanksgiving Point, only Christmas stuff<<<. They should change their name. We did have a great time at the Curiosity Museum and the Farm Land or this would have been a 1 star review.

This place has provided my family days and days of entertainment. You can find something for everyone here. I will continue to be a member here. They do a wonderful job, and the customer service has been excellent every time we go. Thank you!!!!

Always have a good time here, but there is never any parking

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.

We love Thanksgiving Point--always something to take the kids to do (Ashton Gardens, Curiosity Museum, Dino Museumz holiday event). Get a membership--provides excellent value if you live nearby.

So many good things. The new butterfly museum is amazing and so much fun for kids. Curiosity museum is amazingly fun.

Came for the renaissance faire. Was a fun experience. The joust is always fun to watch.

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

Season pass holders to Thanksgiving point!! Cornbellys is a must every year. The Curiosity museum is so much fun and there is so so much to do there we are there for hours.

We found this place by accident a few weeks ago and wished we had a few days to explore every exhibit. The museum of ancient life was amazing. We will definitely be back.

I'm a nanny so I took the kids here one day! It was really nice to have a brake while the kids played in the curiosity museum!!! Fun for the whole family!

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

Wonderful atmosphere for the conference we were at. I loved how close the eateried were, like they're right 'on campus'.

The butterfly area is unique. It is new and they seem to be getting training for the entrance handled. It seemed too long of.time.to.get tickets, it was not the number of people.
The personnel inside were.very nice and informative. Great experience.

Love coming here. Always something to do and very kid friendly

So much to do here! Beautiful gardens. Be prepared to pay for what you do, and for things to be closed early.

Went to a Marriage Enhancement Conference but on by John Buytheway Group called So Happy Together. It was wonderful, we loved the conference.

Always love going to Thanksgiving Point! Great spot!

Great place for families. The membership is totally worth it!

A small grouping of fun sites but are expensive. If interested in going or taking the family look into season passes if going several times to amortize the $220 over the course of many visits during the year

Beautiful place full of family fun. All sorts of activities that all sorts of people can enjoy together. They have a butefly museum, a curiosity based museum, an expansive garden, a dinosaur museum, and many other time based events!

Ok loved it get the day pass get unto all four places plain all day!!!

Went to the theater. All the staff were very friendly. Concession line moved fairly quickly for as busy as they were. Could have been a LOT cleaner. Popcorn was 6 inches deep on the floor. Seats were comfortable. It was very nice to have reserved seating so we didn't have to search for vacant seats. I would definitely recommend this theater.

Poorly marked holes, no idea where to go. No marshal, so we got stuck behind some non-golfers... 6 hour round. Began to rain, they don't give rain checks. Too bad... could be a great course with the right management

We always get the Grandparent's pass as our Grankids love both museums, the gardens and events. They also have wonderful venues for your own event.

Thanksgiving Point is a fun destination. They have awesome events, festivals, farmers markets, it's a lot of fun.

October Cornbellies is fun. The not haunted maze was kinda lame (but good for little kids) and there were lots of other activities as well. The rat races were my favorite.

Fun for the whole family! Tons of different things to do. Different activities for different times of year.

This is a beautiful place! The entire complex is always well kept with beautiful plantings on the grounds. The dinasaur museum in particular was a little disappointing. Many things were not working and were geared for older children. It was clean and organized and well staffed.

We really enjoyed having the yearly pass for my family we would go a few times every month. I like that there's plenty of stuff to do.

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.

Kids love it! Service is so good! They are so nice!

Fun for the whole family! Our favorite is cornbellys in the fall, but year round we love the curiosity museum!

Has a lot of different buildings and is a fun place

I've always enjoyed Thanksgiving Point for it's beautiful grounds and all the other shops that pretty much everyone will find enjoyable!

Great family friendly museum. Great exhibits and hands on activities for kids.

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.

My family particularly loves Cornbelly's here. We spend most of our fall season here.

I bought a yearly pass... You should too and here is why

1. If you go with more 3 times a year with another person it pays for itself.

2. It's a cheap date that doesn't seem cheap, gorgeous gardens, beautiful butterfly biosphere, yummy food, and seasonal fun

3. Depending on the pass you decide on, you can receive 50% off for other guests and people will love you for it

4. Just to it. It's worth it.

If you only once or twice a year (with only you or +1) discard these recommendations.

If you have a family of 3+ ... Why haven't you already done this?

Fantastic place for kids and adults with a wide range of activities. We particularly love the Museum of Curiosity, the Butterfly Biosphere, and Luminaria. If you're a tourist it's well worth stopping by for at least a day. We have a pass which is worth the investment.

I went here often with my family before the pandemic and always had a great experience. I went into the ice cream shop thinking this would be nothing less than great. I was in line for over ten minutes which isn t bad. When it was my turn to order I got to the counter and the woman said sorry we are closed now because it was now a couple minutes after 8pm. But I asked her to please take our order since I waited that time in-line. She rolled her eyes down and begrudgingly agreed. She took my order of 6 soft serve cones. When she gave me the order it was all kiddie cones. I said this wasn t my order, I ordered the regular size she said sorry, gave me the rest and that was it. She wouldn t fix it because they were closing. I expected better service and tipped her for still taking our order when I paid. I wish I didn t now. I don t know what s going on in her life but that was a really bad ending to a fun day to Thanksgiving Point. I won t be back there at night again, maybe the day staff have better customer service.

It is a beautiful place. I am into gardening, so this is a good place for inspiration. I just wish the price was lower.

This is a place where everyone should take the time to visit. The flower gardens are spectacular.

Nice place great for kids. Not enough handicap parking. Staff dose not enforce their own rules.parking lot is a joke.

Lots of great things to do! Extremely kid friendly, but great for adults too! Their butterfly biosphere is great. Although their Greenhouse isn't as big as I thought it would be and very popular. The butterfly biosphere brings in a lot of customers.

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!

I mainly go to the megaplex theater which I enjoy, but I have also been around the gardens on multiple occasions and it really is great. There are tons of events happening all year and i have always had a great time. The only qualm I have is the price is sometimes a bit steep for some things.
