Tulip Mania at Thanksgiving Point

Over 250,000 tulip bulbs bloom each spring at Thanksgiving Point

April 16-May 1 (closed Sunday)

Spring has sprung at Thanksgiving Point and the gardens are gearing up for a beautiful Tulip Festival. The Tulip Festival is an annual event drawing more than 30,000 guests each spring. Featuring over a quarter-million tulip bulbs representing 95 different varieties, the display is nothing short of spectacular. But there’s not just gorgeous flowers and botanical abundance.

Photographers can enter the annual photography contest for a chance to win a Thanksgiving Point Duo membership and have winning photos published in the Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune. Every day features free gardening demonstrations, guided tours and live music on the weekends. A vendor area features delicious foods, beautiful handmade jewelry and unique products.

    Anyone know where to find discount tickets for the Tulip Festival or for any venue at Thanksgiving Point?

    The best deal is a Thanksgiving Point membership (pay $175 once and get one year's unlimited admission to Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Museum of Ancient Life, and Farm Country). There is also a $2 off coupon in Hometown Values and a printable version here: http://www.utahvalley.org/packages-c…px?coupo…
