Planetarium Dome 1968

The Arlington Planetarium is one of the distinctive aspects of Arlington’s science-aware community. In addition to weekend programs for the public, more than 20,000 students currently visit it each year. Many Arlington Public Schools alumni attribute their love of science and space to their immersive night-sky experience.

As the sole freestanding school planetarium open to the public in the metro area, this unique asset has, for more than 40 years, fostered the appreciation of our night skies, astronomy, and the pursuit of science in its many visitors.
