Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving Point has a number of things to do with children. Perhaps the funnest is the Farm, a petting zoo which includes a wagon ride or a pony ride. My daughter didn't want to get off the pony. They have all sorts of barnyard animals, and the price is only $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for ages 3-12. Cheap and lots of fun!

There is also the Museum of Ancient Life, a 3-D movie theater, and Gardens. (There is a small garden area for free, the rest costs). And of course, Thanksgiving Point often hosts special events, like the boo fest, corn maze, Holiday lights, and Museum Monday Nights.

Hogle Zoo

Lots of fun! Small zoo, but great exhibits. My kids LOVE it! I think the animals are more active around 10am ish. There is a great playground and a train that is only 75 cents. Memberships are $50-75 for families.

Free days: Last Wed. of each month from November thru February.
