The Infinite Bridge (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is The Infinite Bridge?
What makes it 68% Kids-Friendly: Kids can race full circles, build sandcastles and reach a deer park in minutes, but the low edge drops straight into water so adults must keep close watch and consider life vests.
Positives:
- Free access: The bridge is free to enter and open daily from April to October.
- Nearby parking: Free roadside parking is just past the bridge near the deer park.
Challenges:
- Safety on the bridge: The bridge has low railings and drops directly to water. Watch young children closely.

Beautiful. Wonderful. Take the Bus from the City Center, find the Bridge either along the shore or after a stroll through the nearby forest. A fantastic sight from the Bridge!

I went there twice during my stay and it is a must if you’re discovering the area. Very peaceful, you can sit anywhere you like. A bit less pleasant where there is a lot of people on the bridge thought. Bring your swimsuit!
