Things to do

Sundial Bridge

844 Sundial Bridge Dr, Redding, CA 96001

The Sundial Bridge is a glass-decked pedestrian span crossing the Sacramento River and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the region. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2004, the 700-foot structure connects the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Access is free. The bridge also functions as a working sundial. Four miles from the hotel, it is a quick drive for a sunset stroll.

Shasta Dam

16349 Shasta Dam Blvd, Shasta Lake, CA 96019

Stand at the top of Shasta Dam and take in sweeping views of Shasta Lake, Mount Shasta, and the Sacramento River Valley. Completed in 1945, this concrete gravity dam is one of the largest in the United States. The visitor center, open Friday through Tuesday, offers exhibits on the dam's history. Free guided tours take you through the interior. The drive from the hotel takes about 15 minutes north on Highway 151.

WaterWorks Park

151 N Boulder Dr, Redding, CA 96003

Splash down water slides, float the lazy river, and let the kids burn off energy at the area's summer water park. WaterWorks Park covers about eight acres with slides, pools, cabanas, and warm-weather fun for the whole family. Rides include the Bucking Bronco, the Whipper Snapper, and the Corkscrew flumes, plus a children's play area. The park sits just 1.4 miles from the hotel, an easy add-on for families. Open seasonally, so check the schedule before you head over.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park

Two minutes beyond the Sundial Bridge, Turtle Bay Exploration Park spreads across 300 acres along the Sacramento River. This mostly outdoor cultural center pairs the Turtle Bay Museum with wildlife exhibits, botanical gardens, playgrounds, and the Paul Bunyan Forest Camp. Kids can meet resident animals and explore interactive science exhibits. Paid admission covers the museum, forest camp, and gardens, while the bridge and trails stay free.

Whiskeytown Lake

California

Drive 14 miles west of the hotel and you will reach Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, a year-round outdoor playground built around Whiskeytown Lake.
