Garland ISD Planetarium
Ah, the wonders of the Universe. Ever look up at the night sky? Ever wonder what’s beyond what you see with your eye? That’s what the Garland ISD Planetarium explores with the students, Faculty, and Staff of the Garland Independent School District. The Garland ISD Planetarium supplements the district’s science curriculum as a field trip into the unknown of space.
