Thanksgiving Point saves my family a lot of money on our entertainment budget. We are Thanksgiving Point members, which gives us FREE unlimited access to Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Museum of Ancient Life, Farm Country as well as FREE access many festivals and events including: the Tulip Festival, Baby Animal Birthday Party, and Museum Mondays.

Speaking of Museum Mondays, every Monday night the venues at Thanksgiving Point offer family friendly activities which are FREE for members and include activities such as: crafts, games, storytelling, treats, and prizes. It is nice to know that we have a planned family night every week. All we have to do is check the calendar and select which event to attend.

At first glance, membership may seem to be outside of your budget, however if you use your pass on a regular basis you will discover that you are providing entertainment for your entire family for only few dollars per event. The cost of membership is 100% tax-deductible! When I did the calculations I found that my family spent around 3.00 per event last year. That is only $1 per person!

 Membership also includes:

• Discounted Thanksgiving Point Birthday Parties
• Discounted Admission to Events and Festivals
• 10% off Educational Programs (Cooking, Gardening, Youth Education)
• 10% off all Shopping and Dining at Thanksgiving Point
