Thanksgiving Point and COVID-19

In accordance with updated guidance from authorities, Thanksgiving Point announced effective 3 pm Mountain time March 16, 2020 its four venues (Butterfly Biosphere, Museum of Ancient Life, Museum of Natural Curiosity, and Farm Country) will close to encourage social distancing preventative measures for COVID-19 . Included in this closure are Harvest Restaurant and the Tower Deli at the Water Tower Plaza. Ashton Gardens remain closed for the winter season.

Thanksgiving Point cares deeply about the health, safety, and ongoing wellbeing of guests, employees, vendors, and other personnel who visit each day. During this time of temporary closure Thanksgiving Point will host a number of live and taped education options such as the popular “Tales for Tots” program.

“We join with the rest of the country in taking care of each other and ourselves,” stated Mike L Washburn, CEO and President of Thanksgiving Point. “We strive to be a safe haven from the storms of life and a fun place for families. We are committed to keeping our property safe for everyone. During this time, we encourage our employees and guests to care for one another and be patient as we work through these issues.”

For the past 25 years Thanksgiving Point has been a beacon of education, entertainment, and fun in the community. This short hiatus will not stop that mission from continuing. Please visit thanksgivingpoint.org for details about upcoming events, classes, and venues.   

Memberships will be adjusted to account for this closure. Further details to come. This page will be updated as further information or changes become available.
