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.

You and your pooch are invited to celebrate National Dog Week with us at the Ashton Gardens. For one week only come out and enjoy the gorgeously crisp, autumn weather with your family and friends--both two-legged and four—while you take a stroll through 55 acres of stunning fall foliage. An off-leash area will be provided for those furry fellows that just need to run free.
