Jurassic Jungle Indoor Playground at Thanksgiving Point

Jurassic Jungle is open now in Lehi as a five-story indoor dinosaur play world at Thanksgiving Point, with timed entry running Monday through Saturday. (thanksgivingpoint.org) The attraction opened on December 17, 2024, as Thanksgiving Point’s seventh discovery center and is housed at the Mountain America Museum of Ancient Life campus. Thanksgiving Point says it is the largest indoor prehistoric playground in Utah. (thanksgivingpoint.org) The setup is built around active play and simple game mechanics: kids tap wearable wristbands at checkpoints, complete missions, and trade points for prizes. Thanksgiving Point lists tasks like feeding a T. rex, fixing a Spinosaurus’s teeth, and sliding down a five-story volcano. (thanksgivingpoint.org) This week’s version includes a “Predator Pursuit” mission built around Utahraptors, with guests searching for missing herbivores and collecting stolen eggs. Thanksgiving Point is still promoting that mission on the current Jurassic Jungle ticket page. (thanksgivingpoint.org) The venue sits in Lehi between Salt Lake City and Provo, which helps explain why Thanksgiving Point pitches it as a regional family stop rather than a neighborhood playroom. The organization says it draws millions of guests a year across its museums, gardens, farm, and other attractions. (thanksgivingpoint.org) Tickets are time-ticketed and limited, with reservations sold in advance. Current listed prices are $14 for children ages 2 to 12 on weekdays and $16 on Saturdays, while adults are $5 and children 1 and under are free. (thanksgivingpoint.org) Thanksgiving Point members get free admission with an online reservation, a pricing model the nonprofit uses across its venues to spread attendance through the day. The site also sells an all-access day pass covering all seven venues. (thanksgivingpoint.org) There are a few practical rules before anyone climbs in. All guests, including adults, must remove their shoes and wear grip socks, which visitors can bring or buy on site for $3. (thanksgivingpoint.org) The current public schedule lists Jurassic Jungle among Thanksgiving Point’s daily admissions, and the attraction page shows hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., closed Sundays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. For families planning a spring outing, that means it is running alongside the larger April calendar at the Lehi campus. (thanksgivingpoint.org; thanksgivingpoint.org)
