When we decided to visit Mud Island our main goal was to ride the monorail and visit the Riverwalk. I had no idea about the fabulousness that awaited us at the museum. Nor did I know how much fun the Riverwalk would be. If we ever make it back or if you make it there, definitely dress in swimsuits and plan to spend several hours playing in the “Mississippi”
“The Riverwalk is an exact scale model of the Lower Mississippi River flowing from its confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois 954 miles south to the Gulf of Mexico” with 20 cities mapped along the way! Thirty inches of the Riverwalk is equal to 1 mile and the entire River Walk takes up FIVE blocks (or 2,000 feet)! It is quite amazing!
