Abstract
High Energy Physics has a special appeal for students, educators, and science enthusiasts, making public engagement a key focus for the scientific community. The ATLAS collaboration at CERN has been proactive in providing opportunities for the public to explore cutting-edge particle physics research. With over 5500 members worldwide, the collaboration is committed to bridging the gap between science and society, recognising the importance of this connection. The ATLAS collaboration offers many outreach programmes, including two that are described here: the in-person ATLAS Visits and the remotely accessible Virtual Visits. These initiatives allow visitors to interact with researchers. ATLAS Visits offer firsthand experiences, guiding guests through the experiment and its control room, while Virtual Visits leverage video conferencing technology to reach global audiences who cannot visit in person.

In these proceedings, we outline how both programmes work to broaden public access to the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and showcase their scope and impact.
