Passed this on our travels and was’nt sure what it was so we went for a look. Good representation of our solar system
Walk along the only road out of Stanley and you come to the solar walk
Great for showing you the relative size of the solar system
A great way to stretch your legs if you’ve been on a cruise ship for several day
A great and informative sculpture that gives a sense of teh size of our planets and the sun. on the waterfront and near the War memorial a great add on if you are walking along the waterfront which is lovely.
This is a good quick stop along the main road in stanley. If you have elementary age kids, great spot for a quick science test!!!!!
I tried in vain to complete the solar system walk. However, one of the sculptures (possibly mercury?) was at the top of a very large, rocky hill. So I had to take a rain check.
This was a quirky thing to find in Stanley, but we liked the idea behind it. It is a series of planet sculptures set out along the foreshore path with the distances between them to scale. Really keen people could walk the entire length, but we didn't.
