Thanksgiving Point is located halfway between Salt Lake City and Provo along Interstate 15—take exit 287 and head west to Thanksgiving Way. Ample parking is available. Thanksgiving Point is also easily accessed via the FrontRunner Train from Salt Lake City and Provo.

Thanksgiving Point is open six days a week, year-round. The park is closed on Sundays and major holidays, and hours vary by season and attraction. Visit early April through early May for the annual tulip bloom in Ashton Gardens.

With more than 280,000 blooming tulips in hundreds of varieties, Thanksgiving Point’s annual Tulip Festival is not to be missed. Fifteen themed gardens display a rainbow of colors, including some historic and rare tulip bulbs. The tulip display is redesigned yearly with bulbs imported from Holland. The festival also features a craft market on weekends, special activities for children, Tulip Festival races, and a photo contest.
