You are here

Join us as we blast off to explore the solar system; and move to the 10th.

Solar System is coming to Somerville! Bursting out over the entire span of Perry Park in massive interactive art-forms, all ages will be awed by a massive 30 foot sun, enjoy exploring the Earth and our sibling rocky planets, be able to walk inside of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, be dazzled by the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, and learn all about the dwarf planets that zing around the outer orbit. 

Lose yourself in the amazing interactive exhibits inside of the International Space Station Maze or hop on a satellite-scooter and zip around the park to visit a giant meteorite!  With dozens of creative and educational exhibits as well as the presence of great local organizations such as Knucklebones, Beautiful Stuff Project, Parts and Crafts, and the Somerville Public Library there will be more than enough fun-fueled learning and space for everyone!

With support from the Neighborhood Children’s Foundation, the Somerville Arts Council, and backers of the crowd-funding campaign, local artists have built these amazing structures, local students have helped with the programming, and now all we need is you to join in on the fun!
