Unauthorized Photography is Prohibited
Membership does not permit photo sessions. All photography sessions—including those for personal use—require a paid Photo Pass and advance reservation. Same-day reservations are not available.
Climbing on rocks, displays, water features, or other property is strictly prohibited. Guests must remain on designated pathways. Violation may result in removal from property and potential involvement of law enforcement. Wear your Photo Pass in a visible location to allow staff and security to verify it easily.
Definition: Photography Session
Any photo or video shoot—posed or candid, using any camera including mobile phones—with extended time, props, special attire, or equipment such as tripods, reflectors, etc., qualifies as a photography session. This includes personal events (e.g., family, graduation, engagements, baptisms).
Photography for commercial, business, promotional, media, or portfolio use is not permitted at any time. Thanksgiving Point reserves the right to determine the intended use of all photo content.
