Bundle up and bring the family to the bridge to view bald eagles as they search for fish. View a live eagle up close in the education tent; the program repeats every 20 minutes from 10 a.m.-2:40 p.m. From the bridge, trained volunteers will assist visitors using viewing scopes to spot eagles fishing, riding ice floes, soaring overhead or roosting in trees. The program showcases Lewis and Clark reenactors in a camp reminiscent of 1804. Bring your binoculars. Dress to warm.

Free parking and shuttles are available at the Missouri Welcome Center (I-270, exit 34) and at North Riverfront Park (I-270, exit 34, Riverview Drive south of the water treatment plant). Parking at the Missouri entrance to the Bridge is $5; free for handicapped.
