Complete information on visiting Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is now on National Park Planner!
Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is located in Vienna, Virginia, just west of Washington D. C. It is the only park in the National Park system dedicated to the performing arts. The Filene Center, the main theater, hosts concerts, ballets, operas, and other performances from mid-May through mid-September. This is an open-air theater that has covered seating as well as lawn seating. A second theater, the Theatre-in-the-Woods, hosts children’s performances from late June through mid-August.
Wolf Trap is open even when there are no performances being held. There are two loop trails that cover much of the 117-acre park, and the picnic tables are always open to anyone who wants to have a picnic. National Park Rangers lead hikes around the park on the first Sunday of each month. In addition, backstage tours of the Filene Center are given on select days from January through April.
