Thanksgiving Point GIVEAWAY

Our grand finale of giveaways is a full year family membership to Thanksgiving Point, a $175 value!

Thanksgiving Point is . . . man, I don’t know how to describe it. They have a kids’ dinosaur museum with an IMAX theater. They have a regular movie theater. They have a barnyard. They have shopping. They have restaurants. They have gardens. They have cooking classes. They have places for conferences and conventions and dinners and weddings.

Hayden and Rebecca enjoyed the light and rainbows exhibit at the museum in August (it’s dark in the room, and this was a cell phone camera):

Thanksgiving Point generously invited me along with a bunch of other bloggers in Utah to a holiday preview. We got to taste some amazing shrimp nachos and butternut squash soup with pepitas (and curry and ginger). Both were fantastic!

Then they showed us some inexpensive neighbor gifts: forced bulbs. We put pea gravel in the bottom of a used tin can, then potting soil to about 1″ from the top. We took paperwhite bulbs and put them basically on top of the soil, then tucked sphagnum (peat) moss around them. Then we decorated the cans with a burlap ribbon and floral embellishments. Neighbor gifts for <$2—and flowers in December!

As you can see, mine has grown well over the last two weeks (haven’t killed it yet!):

We also got to learn about how they stock their Emporium store for Christmas (which is a year-long endeavor) and stay on top of trends. We got to see their basement stock room, too.

Then we got to take a trolley ride through Thanksgiving Point’s holiday lights (with hot chocolate!). I really liked the lights, and the nativity paintings at the end. I think my kids would be completely enthralled. (You can take trolley [or wagon or carriage] rides or drive through with your own car.)

Thanksgiving Point members can get into the holiday lights display for half off—and a whole lot of other stuff:
