Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country—a place known for innovation and opportunity. With that growth comes a responsibility: to inspire, educate, and prepare the next generation for the challenges and possibilities ahead.

NWA Space is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating a world-class science center in Northwest Arkansas. Our vision includes a planetarium, observatory, permanent science exhibits, hands-on labs, and engaging educational spaces for learners of all ages.

The center will be a destination for exploration and discovery—an iconic campus that reflects the spirit of Northwest Arkansas. Integrated with local bike and hike trails, it will be a hub where science, nature, and community meet. We aim to break ground within three years and open our doors within five.

By supporting this project, you're not just funding a facility—you're investing in the future of our region. You're helping to create a place where curiosity leads, where learning becomes an adventure, and where the wonders of the universe are within reach.

The NWA Space Center will be a place where dreams take flight. Whether through donations, sponsorships, or spreading the word, you can be part of something extraordinary.

Together, we’re not just building a science center—we’re building a legacy of discovery for generations to come.
