Truck (Not Animal) Petting Zoo – May 21, 2011

Published: April 20, 2011


On Saturday, May 21 from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m., Central Library will be taken over by trucks and other cool vehicles! 

Children of all ages are invited. We expect to have:

  • A fire engine from the Arlington Fire Department
  • A street sweeper, garbage truck and dump truck from the Arlington County Department of Environmental Services
  • A concrete mixer from Vulcan Materials
  • A gas operations vehicle from Washington Gas
  • Arlington Transit’s Art on the ART Bus
  • And a motorcycle and police cruiser from the Arlington Police Department
  • Depending on availability, we may also have an ambulance and ladder truck, as well as other large construction vehicles.

We will be blocking off our back parking lot to make room for the trucks, so be prepared to park in the garage or the small side parking lot. The closest metro stop is Virginia Square.

    I have a question about the Truck Petting Zoo. My calendar says that May 21 is a Monday, not a Saturday. Is the date listed wrong?

      Hi Amy,

      Sorry for the confusion – this is the info from last year’s event, in 2011. We hope to hold the event again this year, but don’t have a date set yet.
