Thanksgiving Point was created as a way to celebrate the beauty of the natural world, and this year, celebrate Earth Day with us at every venue on Thanksgiving Point’s campus! Our planet has hundreds of incredible natural resources that we take for granted every single day. Each discovery center will host an activity to help you learn sustainable habits and will teach about the importance of protecting our planet. This Earth Day, discover ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, and contribute to the beauty of our world while having fun at Thanksgiving Point.

Activities & Programs
Learn all about upcycling and reusing common items to make them beautiful! Head over to the Field Site in the Museum of Ancient Life to make a cute recycled bracelet out of cardboard, plastics, and natural materials that may otherwise end up in a landfill.
Did you know that you can use recycled materials to help your garden grow? Discover the power of upcycling in your garden and create a garden-themed art project from commonly discarded materials like paper and plastic.
Water conservation is extremely important in our desert state. Head over to Farm Country to learn about how we can reduce our water consumption and better use water resources for crops and plants. You can even take home a low-moisture plant to keep growing at your home!
Join our educators at the Butterfly Biosphere to learn more about the positive impact pollinators have on our ecosystem. Take home a wildflower “seed bomb” and make your contribution to help pollinators in the Bee State!
Create an upcycled bird feeder, helping our flying pollinators, plus join in on an interactive game all about the importance of recycling.
