    Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point | Rees's Roots
    Rees's R.

    Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point is hands down one of the most magical holiday experiences in Utah! Located in Lehi, this event completely transforms the 50-acre Ashton Gardens into a glowing wonderland of over 8 million lights, themed displays, and festive holiday music. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by color, warmth, and that nostalgic Christmas feeling that makes the season so special. Every section has its own unique theme -- from twinkling light tunnels and glowing trees to the jaw-dropping Fire & Ice show, where real flames dance to music! The atmosphere is pure joy -- families, couples, and kids of all ages bundled up, sipping hot cocoa, and smiling nonstop. There are even cozy fire pits, igloo lounges, and delicious holiday treats scattered throughout the event. The staff is incredibly friendly, everything is well-organized, and the timed-entry tickets make it easy to enjoy without huge crowds. This has become a yearly tradition for us, and it's honestly one of the best ways to kick off the holiday season in Utah. https://linktr.ee/reessroots If you're anywhere near Lehi during the holidays, you have to experience Luminaria -- it's festive perfection! #LuminariaUtah #ThanksgivingPoint

    Beautiful lights that are never ending. My kids and I had a wonderful time looking at all the Christmas lights. Each section of the garden has a different theme. There was a small section that was interactive for kids. My kids loved this! Kids could step on the lights and they changed colors as they stepped on them. There's also areas halfway through the lights where you can buy snacks and get warm near a fire pit. You can pay extra to reserve a fire pit with s'mores or an igloo. The fire pits that are not reserved do get packed with people. There is a warming tent you can got stand in too. My kids wore their snow pants and boots so they kept perfectly warm. Some areas were muddy since there was little snow but just enough to make mud. There's a good amount of walking so dress warm and wear good walking/ warm shoes/socks.

    We have visited Luminaria every holiday for several years and LOVE the spectacular lights and creative displays throughout the gardens! Thanksgiving Point has done an excellent job of curating a family-friendly event. Dress warmly and prepare to be dazzled!

    I went here for the first time this year and I loved it so much that I went twice!! I have a feeling it'll become a tradition for my family. The light displays are so fun and it's great for all ages! I love that there was so much variety. There's even a giant gingerbread house competition that you can walk through and they will blow your mind!! My favorite part of Luminaria was walking through the Light The World display at the end. The statues of Christ are incredibly beautiful and moving...the music is peaceful and it was an awesome contrast to the fun upbeat music where the lights were. My main tip is to DRESS WARM! And warmer than you think. It gets pretty chilly and you won't regret having too many layers :) I did appreciate that they occasionally had "warming stations" and fires to help with that. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Amazing! Great show of Christmas lights and scents. Yes, I said scents! The candy cane scent in the candy cane Christmas display is my favorite. I highly recommend this place all year long but in Christmas is extra especial. They have fire pits to keep people warn around some areas. They have snacks , like hot cocoa, cookies and pre-made s'mores packages for sale and they are yummy.

    Entrance with lanterns that change to the music that is playing.

    When we walked in we were immediately in awe of the lights and music and overall atmosphere. Depending on the package you purchase you are given a punch card that allows you to pick 2 sweet treams from the 2-3 concession areas along the walking paths. Each section of the attraction has different lights and themes and as you walk through it really is magical. We went on New Year's Eve and it was a graet way to ring in the new year! I have heard that tickets go fast, so if you are interested you have to order as early as possible. We got lucky as they opened up extra spots for New Year's and we experienced it! As this is our first time attending, not sure if music or themes change. We plan to visit again next year, and I will update!

    VIP station. Not photo'd is the personal Hot Chocolate station only for VIPs! No line!

    Fantastic. ABSOLUTELY FREEZING. But fantistic. Such a nice Christmas Light festival. A great place to go with family and to get your Christmas photos in. We got the VIP package and it was awesome! It came with a gift bag (i.e. Christmas lights necklace, HAND WARMERS *so clutch*, a pin etc). And it came with custom mugs and unlimited hot chocolate!! It was sooooo cold though. I don't know how all the kids were doing it xD But I guess kids don't get cold, right?? Haha. Anyways, DRESS WARMLY!! And bring hand warmers if you don't get the VIP package!

    We had such a great time here with our 2 year old daughter! The decorations are incredible and the variety of colors and themes makes it super fun to walk through! There are plenty of activities for little kids, such as light up jumping stones, skee ball, and a light up peg wall, and fire pits if it gets too cold. I would recommend anyone to go and walk through this winter wonderland with the whole family, you won't regret it.

    This was our first year attending Luminaria and all I have to say is, WOW! I have never been to a light set up quite like this. The detail put into the lighting is incredible, right down to the different scents being pumped in different areas. The area with the thousands of lanterns stopped me in my tracks. What a beautiful, serene dedication to Christ! We loved the cute concession area in the middle of the set up that gave a very cottage/ North Pole feel. The port-o-potties were the nicest I've ever used (which this 7 month pregnant girl appreciated) complete with a heater in each individual stall! I would highly recommend snagging the earliest possible time slot. We chose 5 pm but with the sun going down so early, it worked well and we were out of there around 7 after our multiple toddlers in the group were done. We were happy that it was as warm as it could have possibly been since we went early! Tickets are pricey but so worth it. We hope to come back next year!

    Overpriced, no refunds, poorly run. Very disappointed in Thanksgiving Point. They don't even give members much of a break.

    This is a beautiful Utah venue you must check out!…read more Ashton Gardens is a 50-acre botanical garden that has 15 themed gardens, such as the Italian, Rose, Fragrance, Secret gardens and the Tree of life sculpture garden. It has gorgeous waterfalls and beautiful walking pathways throughout. (Golf carts are available to rent as well) . Also, the beautiful Monet lake with koi fish. Ashton Gardens is known for their seasonal activities like Luminaria the light festival in November thru early January. The Tulip Festival is April - May, the Imaginaria Festival is in summer and the Scarecrow Festival is in October. There is the Trellis Café on site for a bite to eat, and during many of the festivals they have little shops that sell deserts, snacks, drinks, etc. There's a Greenhouse to buy cool plants in season as well. It's definitely a beautiful way to spend the day.

    We've been here a number of times and even though it's the 'off-season' where most of the flowers…read more(and none of the tulips) are in bloom, it's still always beautiful. The waterfalls are wonderful. The fountains superb. The grounds are immaculate. The larger-than-life statues of the life of Christ and the whole Light the World exhibit were superb! We'd seen the life of Christ exhibit and loved it but hadn't seen the Light the World exhibit. It was spectacular. This place is a true gem if you want to enjoy nature; have an opportunity to walk through beautiful scenery or see wonderful spiritual exhibits!
