Review from Jake P.

I decided to see what the Children's Discovery Garden is all about one day when I was on my way to one of the other gardens. My daughter, who is closing in on the ripe old age of two years, absolutely loves it there!
We've been back several time and she always sports her bathing suit there. The Noah's Ark pond is a blast for her. She loves the other parts of the garden too. I see kids of all ages there and they all look they're having the time of their lives. If you want to see your little ones smiling ear-to-ear for hours on end, take them hear. We invested in the annual pass, which was worth it given the use we get out of it. -

Take your swimsuit on a hot sumer day. The kids will spend hours running around, jumping in the fun Noah's Ark fountain, and exploring the interactive areas to discover nature. Check out the schedule beforehand and go on a day when there are free crafts workshops. The kids will never want to leave.

History
Established in 1996
When Alan and Karen Ashton, co-founders of WordPerfect Corporation, purchased the property now known as Thanksgiving Point on Valentine's Day, 1995, it had 580 dairy cows and more than 350 acres of hay, barley, and alfalfa fields. Initially, the new owners bought the land for a farm where their children could enjoy riding horses and caring for farm animals. But their plans soon expanded to include beautiful flower gardens and extensive vegetable gardens.
By the summer of 2006, the nonprofit institute included the fifty-five acre Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Children's Discovery Garden, Museum of Ancient Life, Farm Country, Harvest Restaurant, Deli and Bakery, eight large conference and banquet rooms, the Emporium with gracious offerings for your home, ten acres of beautifully landscaped reception areas; a 4,000-seat outdoor waterfall amphitheatre, and; an 18-hole championship golf course.
