The Arboretum is contiguous with the Sacramento River Walk and the Sundial Bridge, so a walk through all three makes for a beautiful morning event. The Sundial Bridge is an unusually designed bridge, functioning as a sundial at one end and conveying a sense of weightlessness, connects the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park.
