Broken Arrow's Voyage Solar System Walkway

Looking for an adventure today? Visit Broken Arrow’s Voyage Solar System Walkway!

Explore Broken Arrow’s impressive 2,000-foot Voyage Solar System Walkway—a scaled model of our solar system at one ten-billionth actual size. In June 2022, Broken Arrow Public Schools proudly became home to the nation’s seventh Voyage installation.

The experience begins with the Sun at Creekwood Elementary School and continues along E. Albany Street, ending with Pluto at Broken Arrow High School. As you travel the pathway, each planet is represented by a laser-etched crystal and tactile display positioned at its exact scaled distance from the Sun. Informational panels mounted on aluminum stanchions provide details about each planet along the way.

The concept was developed in 1996 by Dr. Jeff Goldstein, now Director of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, as a way to help students and communities better understand the scale of our solar system. More than 25 years later, Broken Arrow became the seventh community in the United States to bring this vision to life.

Walkway highlights:

  • Distance: Nearly 2,000 feet (about 6½ football fields)

  • Route: Sun at Creekwood Elementary (1301 E. Albany) to Pluto at Broken Arrow High School (1901 E. Albany)

  • Accessibility: ADA accessible throughout the entire pathway

What makes Broken Arrow’s Voyage unique is its community-driven creation. Unlike other installations, this walkway was made possible through a grassroots fundraising effort involving more than 100 individuals, businesses, and organizations across the community.
