Four Experiences, Two Campuses, One Journey

If you want to learn extraordinary things, go to extraordinary places. And no place is quite as extraordinary as Thanksgiving Point. This is not a once-a-year, one exhibit destination. With farms, gardens, museums and more, the opportunities for transformative learning experiences are endless. Yet, not everyone is aware of the vast offerings to be found right in their own backyard.
