Beautiful gardens with spectacular grooming. Year-round events with themes for every major holiday! My favorite garden was the Light of the World garden. It has beautiful handmade bronze statues of the Savior Jesus Christ, and its architecture and plants are designed to look like Jerusalem and Galilee where the Savior walked. It was so peaceful and the spirit of Christ there was amazing

I love visiting the Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point every year. The pass is definitely worth it. Great space to bring kids or take a stroll with a date or friend. Lots to see and admire.

Bring your pups during Dog Days! This place is like a sniffing zoo for your dog. Bring them on a leash and enjoy a fun and enriching activity with your furry best friend. I do my best to bring my dog whenever I can and Im grateful for the opportunity to bring him for both of us to enjoy the natural beauty of Ashton Garden.

Beautiful place!! We spent about an hour there. The waterfall is currently closed, so I don’t recommend going if you’d like to see the waterfall going. I have pictures of that. It’s a beautiful walk and a quiet place to meditate. It wasn’t busy at all when we went, which made it nicer.

We loved this place! We took the family on our first trip to SLC. It was beautiful and serene and we loved the Bible Verses throughout the garden. The kids loved the Lego statues that were hidden around the garden. The Light of the World garden was absolutely captivating. Highly recommend this place!!

Beautiful gardens, great for kids. Nice walk around the 1.2 mile perimeter.

Reserve your tickets on-line. Go and enjoy. The LIGHT OF THE WORLD larger - than - life sculptures are transcendent. Buy a $100+ membership pass for unlimited visits here and for the other buildings on campus [Butterfly House, a working farm, Natural Curiosity Museum, etc]. Nonprofit organization.

Gardens are amazing, tons to see and explore. Very beautiful and peaceful.The lego sculptures currently on exhibit add some fun and interest for kids.

This garden is such a gift to the community! It is beautiful year round. I love it!

We came here on a Thursday night around six. It didnt seem too busy. You have to wear masks outside. The kids favorite areas were the little lake where you can feed the fish, the waterfall, and the area with all the arches and vines. Lots of great places to take pictures. One of the things we didnt care for was you have to watch out for people in the golf carts as they pass on the walkways. Fun place to spend an afternoon or evening.

This was a super cool experience! Lot of awesome places to see and admire. Great for photos. Highly recommend!

We love Thanksgiving Point! It was fun to find all the Lego sculptures. It was beautiful as always!

The Lego sculptures were a hit with our crew of kids! We also always love the scarecrow festival!

So BEAUTIFUL! I wouldnt go there in the height of summer again, but despite the heat it was so fun to see all the beautiful scenery.

The Gardens are always great. We love the Scarecrow Festival. Its fun to get out in the fall air and see the flowers and trees before winter sets in. I highly recommend a season pass to Thanksgiving Point if you live in the area. You get access to so many facilities, its the best value for a season pass to any entertainment or educational facility in the Salt Lake area.

Update: We decided to go see the lights during winter and it is not worth it we were really excited since the summer time it was very beautiful. I expected more lights and some parts of the garden were cut off. Save your money the free show at the Highland house was way better.So so beautiful definitely a must see. Perfect for a wedding.

Tulip Festival. Open for flowers in April. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, waterfalls, Jesus statues, koi. Walk or see most by golf cart. Gift shop with so much and such a variety. Get tickets online for specific entry times. Wear a mask. A delight for everyone and good for the soul.

Very beautiful and well kept. Should have taken way more pictures. Wonderful day and wonderful scenery! 😊❤️

I usually love this place, I come multiple times a year, for the gardens and the restaurants. So this was our first wedding reception here. Not impressed. They wouldnt let us take a wheelchair for my parents( and I had called to inquire 2 x before- which they said were available. ) Apparently you have to have them back at 8pm- even when the only event for that night is a huge wedding event? so, you want me,,, the mother of the wedding party to bring my dad back up the hill in the middle of the reception, just so you have your wheelchair back by 8pm.? The fireworks were great-but as a family we came an hour early for pictures. There was no where to sit. Old people cannot stand for an hour during pictures. And I wish there were signs and lights to help along the path to the restrooms. It was dark and unknown. And the staff was a little rude. When you spend that much money on a wedding- every one better be really accomidating.

It is a good place to walk around and take pictures. There is a rose garden that many couples take photos at as well as a Shakespeare themed scent garden. There is also a cool artificial waterfall. Another good part to go to is an area with several impressive statues of Jesus Christ.

Beautiful gardens any time of the year. My favorite time to visit is during their tulip festival.

Love coming here as a family or just with my kiddos. We have purchased an annual pass for three years now and it is so worth it. Bring a stroller, there is a lot of walking to do. We usually spend an hour or two here.

Stunning! An oasis in the desert. Lovely experience overall.

I have so many memories of these gardens because you never get sick of going! There is always so much beauty to behold and you definitely get your money’s worth!

I have wanted to visit the gardens for quite a while, but never really did until now. It is 100% worth it.The grounds are a lot more expansive than you would expect and it is very beautiful. The paths cover a lot of ground, but there is always a well placed bench just where you might want to sit. The rose garden and the ponds were absolutely stunning. Loved feeding all of the Koi.Unfortunately the waterfall was closed for maintenance, but overall its a very beautiful and relaxing place to go.

My family loves this place! I remember running around here as a kid so it is fun to see my little kids doing the same years later. I would recommend buying the fish food for $1 and going over to the ponds during your walk around the gardens.We love the diversity of the areas and how kid-friendly it is. You can find plenty of shade while you walk and sit, which I enjoy. Stroller-friendly as well. Well worth the yearly membership.

Best for a fun springtime with family at the Tulips Festival.

Went on an early Thursday afternoon and the place was STILL hopping. Stunning landscaping. Stunning.

Beautiful venue. Very organized orchestral events.

I go to the Tulip Festival every year and its always something I look forward. This year did not disappoint!

My big question for this place was if it is worth it to go in early spring when the flowers are not in full bloom and the greenery isnt fully alive yet. The answer is yes. Its a cool place to visit any time of year. Lots of walking, and seems fairly wheelchair friendly. My friend stated they didnt have any issues with their power wheelchair when they went. There are golf carts and power scooters available to rent for those who cant walk long distances. Be ready for a long walk no matter how much of the garden you choose to see. Everyones favorite part was the path through the waterfall. Only 4 stars because Im a cheapskate and I think prices are a little high, but thats how Thanksgiving point is.

We visited Ashton Gardens on Labor Day. We loved strolling through the many gardens, the coy pond and waterfalls. We loved the Shakespeare and Four Seasons areas. Cant wait to return!

A beautiful series of gardens. You could walk through everything in a couple of hours or really take your time and easily stay all day. There are plenty of wheelchair/golf cart/walker-accessible paths and frequent seating if you need breaks. Its worth getting some fish food and feeding the koi out at the Monet Garden.The waterfall is currently off due to the drought, but its a fabulous place even without that feature.There are a couple of restrooms and spots to refill water bottles.You can rent a golf cart if needed to assist in traveling around the gardens. If you dont, good walking shoes are recommended (youll walk a few miles if you see everything).

Beautiful as usual, just rainy the day we went.

Beautiful even though the tulips werent yet in full bloom when we were there, the second week of April. Id guess the third and fourth weeks of April might be even more spectacular.

Always so pretty!

This was so wonderful! We were expecting box gardens and didnt expect to spend much time there, but it was like stepping into Alice In Wonderland. Everywhere you looked was photogenic, well-maintained, and so beautifully put together. The rose garden and koi pond were simply magically, and the waterfall part was a delight to walk through. It is most definitely worth the price, and the best place to get some steps in!

The garden was very beautiful and there is plenty of photo opportunities. A great place to visit to relax and take your time exploring. There are plenty of lawn spaces to sit and mini themed gardens to explore.

World class garden!When I travel around the world, I tend to take excursions to Gardens and the one right here in my backyard is literally one of the best I have been to.Meticulously maintained, the layout is AMAZING, the various vistas are breathtaking! So hard to believe that this is so close to civilization, to the freeway and Frontrunner(Train tracks). The gardens are so serene and peaceful, it transports you to a place far from the hustle and bustle of daily life.So relaxing!Give yourself a FULL day to meander through the garden.Stop and do smell the roses!Bring water! Wear a hat, the sun can get intense! Wear sunscreen!Wear your walking shoes, to say you will get your exercise for the day is an understatement!If you are handicapped, most of the Garden is accessible with just a few exceptions.I HIGHLY recommend coming to the Garden in all 4 seasons, but if you could only come in one, be sure to come during the Tulip Festival. The next amazing time would be in the Autumn when many of the trees start to turn (about the first part of October). Summer is always a nice, refreshing break in this desert, and the gardens are far from being a desert!Even winter has its magical moments in the Garden.Anytime of the year is a Photographers dream location!A true Garden of Eden!

Always lovely. Peaceful.

What a peaceful and beautiful place. The landscape, the flowers, the ponds, the waterfalls and the sculptures at the Light of the World Garden are spectacular. Ashton Gardens provides a wonderful place for a relaxed walk of 1 to 2 hours. The Light of the World Garden shows beautiful larger than life statues of Christ in several well known biblical scenes. Just this garden would be worth your visit.

Last day at Ashton Gardens for the season. Great experience, and wonderful place to walk in warmer weather. A must see during the Tulip Festival.

I loved the gardens and the golf cart option. We tried walking (with a 4YO, 3YO, and a 1YO, and decided after 40m that a golf cart was the way to go! It was so hot, so the golf cart was a life saver. The gardens were beautiful and smelt beautiful! So well maintained. Even with the drought.

Amazing place at Thanksgiving point. We went in Aug 2019, may not be the best time to visit, however garden was colorful. Great place for kids outing.

A wonderful garden to visit. Plentiful beautiful flowers, waterfalls, Koi, amazing statues - a wonderful place to visit.Highly recommended

A very unique experience, especially if you love plants and flowers. Every corner has something new and theres is so many picture opportunities.

This place is so beautiful, and full of positivity. The energy that surrounds this area is powerful. It was very enjoyable to walk around, and they had a lot of different things that you can see. Personally my favorite was walking through the light of the world section. Without giving too much away they have some extremely cool statues of Christ and his life. I also really enjoyed the waterfall, the streams, and the ponds that are present here. They have secret gardens, fountains, and fun cultural things to walk under. The gardens are well manicured and a great spot to go and relax and enjoy a walk with those that you care about.

Went to the “Tulip Festival” today. That was about half of all the blooming tulips. It’s really a grass and waterfall festival. About 1% of the garden is given to tulips and about 5% of those were blooming. Wait til next year and go to Keukenhof. Pretty lawns and waterfalls, but definitely not a tulip festival. A definite negative is the fleet of stinky, gas-powered golf carts polluting the entire area.

So, beautiful! We had a wonderful time at the story telling festival!! Definitely a annual event for us.

Fun night at Luminaria. Worth a visit and with young children who will enjoy everything they see.

We absolutely love this place! The kids love to roll down the hill and feed the fish. I could walk around for hours! Its so peaceful and beautiful. There are benches to sit on all around the gardens and informational signs about the plants throughout. Its not only beautiful, but theres also a lot to learn. I even saw a deer tonight!

Lots of fun things to explore! We went to the Scarecrow Festival and it was a lot of fun to see the different fun scarecrows that people had made!

Beautiful, well cared for gardens

Always so good to get out in nature just make sure to bring a coat

Beautifully groomed trails. They’ve got a lot of plants marked. It’s a great place to go for a walk. There are a few bathrooms throughout the property. During the summer they’ve got food and a farmers market area. There are vending machines during non events.

A beautiful oasis in the middle of Utahs desert! About a mile walk if you see the whole thing (but can shorten it if you like). If you want to avoid the crowds go during/ right after a rainstorm 😊

Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point should become your new Christmas🎄 tradition! The snow ❄️ tonight added magic to the ambiance.

I have loved my experiences at Thanksgiving point. I am putting 1 star for only 2 reasons.1) Customer service. Over the past few weeks I have tried calling 3-4 times to get questions answered or get tickets transferred. I have never had to wait LESS than 30 minutes MINIMUM in order to talk to a human. (I am sitting here waiting right now to and have been waiting 37 minutes). If there are seasons where they are experiencing high call volume this consistently they need to FIX the system and hire more people to answer phones. This is insane.2) My family is spending a couple hundred to go experience the tulip festival together. Last week we bought tickets only to discover the Tulips weren’t even in bloom yet. It seems really wrong to sell tickets to a tulip festival when they aren’t out. Tell your customers what they are getting.

Beautiful gardens that you wouldn’t expect to find in Utah. Definitely overpriced though. Go on a day when there’s a discount.More pro tips:1) Be prepared to either walk a lot or spend $$$ to get a golf cart.2) Definitely go on a cold day. There’s quite a bit of shade, but there are still large exposed sections—namely the entire Christ statues section—and much of the walking is up and down hills, which can get tiring pretty quick.

Great nature area, tended garden. We come here to unwind and watch the changing vegetation through the year. Watched the garden change over the last 35 years.

Beautiful gardens. The theme of different parts of the world for different flower gardens is nice. My favorite place is the Christ Statues area. Such amazingly beautifully done statues, and such a nice spirit there.

Ashton Gardens is amazing! The size of the grounds and the variety of flower beds are astounding. There are great events hosted in the gardens throughout the year, so its worth seeing them in each season. My favorite time is in the Spring, but I look forward each new season.

The biggest setback of this place is the price. It is beautiful with lots to see. Maintained gardens with beautiful scenery! Well have to go back when the waterfall has falling water. Great place to enjoy a wait. Our favorite garden was The Light of the World garden where beautiful sculptures of Jesus Christ and his many miracles can be seen.

The water fall was beautiful. First time I have been able to see it

I really enjoyed the garden. I thought it was very entertaining there was something different at every turn. It’s not a stuffy Garden but it was really fun to spend the afternoon.The Italian garden was quite impressive.

Beautiful night, beautidul place to enjoy a walk.

The Tulip Festival is the primary reason why we maintain a year pass. The children (and adults) in my family cant stop taking pictures. This isnt the only great part about Thanksgiving Point. We also love the discovery museum which has been a great introduction to important physical science concepts.

This place is big. like that they have koi fish in the pond. Beautiful plants and flowers to see.Admission fee is quite high for 4 people is $90, prices can even go up higher. Wish it could offer more in the included price such as animals, train ride, hay maze, playground. Offer more variety of food truck vendors. Overall is a good experience for adults and kids.

Very large and impressive gardens. Will definitely go back to see the rest.

The festival of tulips is always beautiful. We walked through with our 18 month old in about two and a half hours with lots of stops and seeing most of the gardens. It is a busy time of year, but so worth it.

This is one of my very favorite places in the entire state of Utah. The beauty and serenity of these gardens is unsurpassable.

Absolutely gorgeous. The highlight was definitely the Light of th World garden. This place is stunning!

Expensive but its a really nice place to take photos @robinteranphotography

Lovely. I recommend going when its not one of their events like tulip festival. Youll see almost the same thing and it will be a lot less crowded. Be prepared the walk a long distance if you want to see all of the gardens. Or rent a golf cart.

This is always an enjoyable trip. Grounds are well landscaped. Plenty of elevation gain to get in a good walk and if you wanted to be brisk, you could really get your heart going. For those who possess a disability or if you just want to ride, there are golf carts available. In years past, they had Segway scooters to rent. Im not sure of that is still an option. Tulip festival is a beautiful time to go, but other times of the year are also very beautiful. Appointments are needed at this time to attend the Tulip Festival. One thing that I would warn you about is the nasty recirculated pond water they run through their waterfall feature. Every year it gets more and more foul and I putrid smelling. This year it just about kept us from walking the upper waterfall path. Just avoid the water feature all together and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding gardens. Dont miss the Life of Christ bronze exhibit. It is very well done.

I enjoyed the variety of setups and arrangements. The transformation of this garden is shocking sometimes, in just how quickly they can convert the entire garden from Tulips to other arrangements. Always quite stunning and enjoyable to experience.

Beautiful gardens! What a delightful place. Were definitely going back..... soon! The bronze statues fed my spirit with peace and love. Thank you!

The gardens are just beautiful. Walking through the waterfall is a tremendous experience. The Landscaping is immaculate. The paths are fun and interesting. The flowers are captivating. The sculptures at the Light of the World Garden are very moving and personal. We are going to go back over and over again.

Beautiful landscapes! The downside is the people driving the golf carts are pretty impatient, forcing pedestrians to move to the edge of the path or completely off the path. The third incident I saw of this today was an elderly lady falling out of her sitting walker onto the back in her head. For how crowded the garden can get, filled with little kids running around, people in wheelchairs and walkers, the golf carts serve a great purpose but are an issue. Especially when these drivers were taking pictures and or eating while driving and pushing people out of the way. Luckily, there are paths that golf carts are not allowed, but that doesnt help the main path including the entrance and the exit.

Beautiful gardens, great deal on Tuesday. Longer walk than expected, but it was nice.

I love this place for any age, any size of group. I have the premium pass, which gets me, my family, and 2 extra guests into any of Thanksgiving Points venues for free. And also a 50% discount on tickets for other guests. Its been well worth it. And if you come when you can rent the segways(when its little slower), you definitely should! Its really fun. The Tulip Festival is absolutely stunning! And we just attended the Luminaria Event. It was incredible, very beautiful. Also, the Trellis Cafe overlooking the gardens, is amazing. Would definitely recommend this place.

Such a pretty place. I like that they have card with the plant information. Its beautiful year round and we love that they are allowing dogs in on Wednesday. We come a few times a year and it never disappoints. Its pretty and relaxing yo walk through, plus you can get some cute pics

LUMINARIA. What an amazing experience. I loved it. I took my kids and husband. We spent 2.5 hours walking through the garden. There are small shacks that sell different varieties of food and drinks. There are different scents throughout the light attractions. They have bonfires and a warming tent. There is an area that focusses on Jesus Christ and his life. There are multiple statues softly lit and stand out as a focal point of the attraction. It was amazing and brings the true meaning of the season to heart. This is definitely a must see and come back again.

A lovely family day we really enjoyed feeding the fish and the beautiful gardens!

This place is an absolute scam if youre looking to explore more than a small fraction of it in the evening. The location of the gardens is comically far away from the rest of the campus so you have to drive and repark. The people happy to take your (absurd) amount of money to get in for a stroll will give you a map at 7pm and completely neglect to tell you that you have virtually no chance at all of viewing any of the gardens due to how absolutely massive they are. Once you figure out there is no way it suddenly makes sense why everyone is on golf carts. Youll then walk back up to the visitor center only to find out they dont rent golf carts after 6:30PM which makes no sense at all because its the only way anyone would be able to see any significant part of the garden for your moneys worth. Thanksgiving point is already too expensive but I feel like I paid for nothing. To top all of this off this was our first visit to salt lake city area and the traffic is atrocious. Ive been to Chicago, Dallas, San Diego, all over and many large cities and salt lake city metro area is a traffic contender for the likes of Los Angeles. This compounded by the fact that its unreasonably hot in June had altogether made us never want to come to this area again, despite the beautiful rocky mountain views. I especially do not recommend the gardens at Thanksgiving point and wish I had gotten my money back.

Such a beautiful place to walk and explore with my family. Loved it!

Pleasant surprise, very spacious ground, reminds one of gardens in Europe except for the $20 price. They could use more tree shades to be more Sitting friendly. And do away with the religious statues, very anti climactic for the natural settings. Also saw a huge rat in the water the size of a duck, wiggling the long tail great swimmer.

A beautiful garden with a variety of styles - English country, Italian aristocratic and American. There is a pleasant surprise around every corner. I especially lived the front and back of the waterfall garden.

This is one of my favorite places to visit during any season! These gardens are so gorgeous. There is so much to see and enjoy. It is such a relaxing environment from sitting in the grass near the waterfalls to feeding the Koi fish in the pond to viewing all of the different plant life they have. I highly recommend you visit. It will be well worth your time.

The walk through the grasses with the Luminaries and the statues depicting the Saviors Life was absolutely breathtaking 💜

Loved the scarecrow festival! It was so fun to see everyones creativity.

Went to see the tulip festival with family and had a lovely time. The gardens are gorgeous, staff is friendly and helpful, and there is a ton of different types of scenery, flowers and decor to see. There are ponds with fish and ducks, waterfalls, a myriad of different kinds of flowers, areas both fun and romantic, beautiful statues and so much more to see.

I love the beautiful tulips 🌷

This place is amazing! Just a stroll through the beautiful gardens is so relaxing! The events they have here are great.... tulip festival, princess festival, story telling festival and all the other events.The place is huge, drop the extra money and rent a cart one day so you can cover the entire garden. Its worth it.Buy a bag of fish food too, watching the coi go crazy is a lot of fun.

We went to see the Nature Connects Lego exhibit and it was cool to see large Lego creations incorporated into the gardens. An unexpected downside was the number of mosquito bites we each received while there.

Loved every moment. So many hidden gems. Worth it. Do it. More than just a garden. ❤️❤️❤️

Such a nice place for a walk. My older parents rented a golf cart ($60 for 2 hours) so they could enjoy the car gardens. Two hours are about right for a visit.

Even in the pouring rain it was quite lovely.

Well kept gardens, friendly staff. You get a 10% discount off concessions & merchandise with purchase of a membership. We love the Secret Garden and feeding the koi fish at Monet Pond!

A beautiful garden walk with lots of great places to see. Be prepared to do some walking as you make your way along the well cared for paths and the beautiful and varied gardens.
