Thanksgiving Point’s newest summer event brings fairies, pirates, and more to life

LEHI, Utah (April 29, 2025) – Climb, jump, explore, and more at Imaginaria, Thanksgiving Point’s brand-new summer event for kids. Open June 2 – August 23 in the Ashton Gardens, Imaginaria is an interactive celebration with action-packed play and thrills around every corner.

Imaginaria will feature dozens of exciting play features in six interactive zones.
