Arlington's River Legacy Park lives up to its name by striving to preserve the area's natural amenities in ways that will not only enhance them, but to also preserve them in order to pass them on to future generations. The River Legacy Foundation's various projects and endeavors work to accomplish that mission. When you visit this outdoor attraction, remember to spend time in the Living Science Center, a 12,000-square-foot facility that captures some of nature's most compelling scenes within the structure's sustainable design. The park itself is like a slice of nature tucked within Arlington's urban landscape. This park curves along the Trinity River creating a beautiful place to relax and enjoy some of North Texas' most visually stunning scenery.

If you've got a future scientist in the family, or even if you and your brood just love stargazing, then a trip to the Planetarium at UT Arlington will prove to be the perfect intergalactic adventure. The out-of-this-world tool makes it possible to get an unbelievably close view of various stars and planets through their highly-powered telescope that is projected onscreen in the 165-seat viewing area. Also, the dome animation show is absolutely stunning. The Planetarium at UT Arlington does an excellent job of bringing the adventure of outer space up close for you and your family to discover and learn.
