We had a really great time at the Sundial Bridge. Walking on the river walk, the Turtle Bay Museum and checking out the bridge which is very cool. The Sacramento River has great trails with wildlife all around. The trail near the bridge includes a beautiful garden with educational stops for everyone. The Turtle Bay Museum and it's grounds were fun for all of us, including my fifteen year old daughter. She interacted with birds in the Parrot House and butterflies, and zipped on the zip-line in the playground. I'm sure her favorite part was the butterflies though, as we spent well over an hour in the butterfly house. In the museum there was a hand on educational room that has really fun activities about prehistoric flying reptiles, Pterosaurs. A whole room displaying replicas of the items discovered in King Tutankhamun. Pretty fascinating. There is a cafe that is currently being remodeled but Mosaic Restaurant was open. If you are unfamiliar with reading it's very hot in the summer months and stays pretty warm until October. I recommend sunblock and if your heat sensitive the indoor part of the museum and Mosaic restaurants during the summer. Otherwise visit early or in the evening I know they open at 9:00 a.m. the bridge and trails are always open but not all of the grounds.

Love this beautiful pedestrian bridge that goes over the Sacramento River. It is in a location that connects trails, art, nature, and community within Redding. It is kept clean and feels safe to explore whether on foot or bike.

Visited the city over a weekend. Beautiful view of the Redding sunset! Very clean and calm environment. The electric scooters were all dead or on low battery according to the app, so that was kinda of a bummer. Overall though it’s a cool spot :)

Had a great time here on a beautiful sunny day. The bridge is beautiful and the park here is a lovely walk by the river. We will be back. Nice for a short jaunt on a road trip.

why does the sundial track only four hours intead of 16 hours

Isaac Collins | Mar 24, 2021
Stacey Newcomer | Mar 25, 2021

Because it's too big. Had the dial arm been smaller it would have been able to track more. But to make the bridge full suspension over the Sac River, the arm had to be high enough to hold the suspension cables.

What time of the day/season will the bridge itself have shade? I don't want to go when the shade is in the river or on the parking lot or wherever.

Chanda Mija | Jan 19, 2019
Gordon Phillips | Jan 20, 2019

The bridge it's self is in full sun from sun up till sun down. So if you want shade, then either pre-dawn or post sunset are your options. There is no " non-sun" time for the bridge.

What is the distance from the land bank edge where the bridge begins to the other end? From land to land is what I'm asking.

Chanda Mija | Jan 19, 2019
MichelleHardy Music | Jan 20, 2019

About 500 feet. ?
