While my daughter Gillian visited this past weekend we wanted to show her some off-the-beaten-path highlights of Tucson. Since she has been her many times during her childhood she had already seen the Desert Museum, Biosphere, and Old Tucson. But she'd never seen Rattlesnake Bridge (nor had I). It took a bit of wandering around but we finally found it and it was worth it! This is the entrance and you can see the eyes and fangs.
This is a pedestrian/biking bridge. Our favorite part was the Rattlesnake tail. The tail greets you as you exit the "body". There is a motion sensor that makes a loud rattle sound as you exit. The tail does not move, but the sound is pretty neat! It looks like the spine and eyes light up at night which would be great to see.
