"I took my 5 grandchildren to Thanksgiving Point Imaginaria. We spent 2½ hours just playing in the dino-land. It is remarkable! I love having everything so compact and close. Tents with misters, so much to do! I love the punch card idea. We spent an hour in the tent putting together 3-D dinos and my little granddaughter chopping away at the ice block. Genius! Thank you for all your creativity and hard work. You’ve really outdone yourselves!"
