Our Mission

Thanksgiving Point is a community-led nonprofit foundation helping Utah’s kids. We believe there is joy, surprise, fun, and inspiration when kids and families get curious. This is how true learning begins.

At Thanksgiving Point, we want you to be curious. What does it mean to be curious? It means asking questions, hypothesizing, testing, trying again (and again, and again, and again). It may even mean failing. But – when you get to the answer, it’s so rewarding. We serve as a place for kids to get curious about science and the natural world. In the discovery centers at Thanksgiving Point, you’ll see curious kids growing every day. So, come on in and take a look around! Hold a hissing cockroach, spread your wings with the butterflies, travel back millions of years to the age of the dinosaurs, hang upside down like a sloth, plant a tulip, and milk a cow…. we have hundreds of adventures waiting for you.
