Walk all the way from the Sun to Pluto (and back) at our largest exhibit!
Planet Walk (3.0 miles roundtrip)
As you journey along the Planet Walk you will encounter the inner planets (Mercury first, then Venus, the Earth, and Mars), then the Asteroid Belt and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).

As you journey along the Planet Walk you will encounter the inner planets (Mercury first, then Venus, the Earth, and Mars), then the Asteroid Belt and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). To reach tiny dwarf planet Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, be prepared for a 1.5-mile walk along the Ridge Trail and the Hazen Trail, which runs through Norwich and Wilder.
You’ll be surprised by how far apart the planets really are, compared to pictures of the solar system often seen in books!
