I attended a GNO bloggers event at Thanksgiving Point last week and learned some really fun things. Like how to make this adorable, economical neighbor gift…

Easy as pie: can, pea rocks, potting soil, paper whites bulb, moss, water, burlap, green sprigs, red berries, DONE and for about two dollars!


I will require all my gifts to be wrapped in this paper. 😉 And I just adore these oversized stockings straight out of whoville!

Love, love the burlap pillows! The one on the right reads “My whole heart for my whole life.” Aaah.
Where to taste yummy food like this…

I am dying to try the Grilled Flatbread, Roasted Chicken Pot Pie, House Penne, Spiced Apple Fritters, and Vanilla Creme Brulee. Could I eat it all in one sitting, well I could try!
and where to ride through a glorious light display (including amazing water/ice sculpture) on one of these…
This was truly a learning experience for me. I have frequented the many child themed areas of Thanksgiving Point like Cornbelly’s and the Children’s Discovery Garden, but was yet to visit the more adult areas like Harvest Restaurant, where they serve the most divine Rock Shrimp Nachos, and the Emporium, with its 13,000 square feet of one of a kind shopping. There are seriously so many things to do and see at Thanksgiving Point any time of the year! Whether the Tulip Festival, cooking classes, or the gigantic Dinosaur museum there is something to please every member of the family.
Oh, and I have something that will totally please your family! Thanksgiving Point is giving away an annual family pass (value $175) to a lucky Tipsy reader! Talk about fun family present under the tree.

I love Thanksgiving Point and would love to win a family pass. I now live in Idaho but my family all live in Lehi so I visit frequently. This would also give me extra excuses (HA!) to visit more often. Here’s hoping!

I would love to take my little boy to the dino museum. Funny. My daughter’s been, not my son!
I can’t wait to have Breakfast with Santa and watch my little ones face light up with joy. Thanksgiving Point really is a lot of fun for everyone.
There are so many wonderful things about Thanksgiving Point, that it’s hard to pick just one favorite! I would have to say that I look forward to the Tulip Festival this spring the very most!

We will be headed to the Dino museum next. But looking forward to spring for the Tulip Festival at the Gardens. And the farm is more fun when it earns up a little, too. But we’ll be visiting the reindeer and going to see the lights. Oh, I can’t just pick one part of Thanksgiving Point. Can this still be an entry to win?

We love Thanksgiving Point! My budding photographer 7 year old likes to take pics at the garden, they LOVE the children’s garden water fountain area, we go to classes there and spend hours at the dino museum. I can’t wait for the new hands on children’s museum and their new space exhibit to open!
