Thanksgiving Point Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit farm, garden, and museum complex that draws upon the natural world to cultivate transformative family learning.

The options are endless at Thanksgiving Point for family-fun entertainment and valuable learning experiences. Roaming with dinosaurs at the Museum of Ancient Life, exploring a working farm at Farm Country, strolling the beauty of our 55-acres botanical beauty at the Ashton Gardens, climbing on a high ropes course at the Museum of Natural Curiosity, or visiting a butterfly conservatory and insectarium are just a few of the numerous activities that await you when you visit.

At Thanksgiving Point, our mission is to inspire the minds and renew the spirits of young and old by providing unique learning experiences, family-friendly entertainment, and opportunities for discovery in a safe and beautiful environment.

Thanksgiving Point is home to Butterfly Biosphere, the Museums of Natural Curiosity & Ancient Life, Farm Country, Ashton Gardens, and more. (501(c)(3) organization)
