There's a hidden tunnel in Davis, California, that saves frogs from being killed, allowing them to live happily ever after in their little village that was built for them.

I've only lived here for one year, so bear with me as I learn about these adorable tourist attractions around town. I JUST learned about this after having lived her for a little over a year, and I wanted to share it just in case you've never heard of it, either!

According to Atlas Obscura, there's a six-inch tunnel under a highway that allows frogs to cross the road without being killed. There's even a little village built at one end called Toad Hollow, complete with a bar, outhouse, and hotel small enough for the frogs.

The tunnel was built in the 90s, and early on caught national attention on The Daily Show in 1998. There's also a children's book about the tunnel written and illustrated by Ted Puntillo called "The Toads of Davis" that tells a story from the amphibians' point of view.

So how do you get there? Atlas Obscura says you take the I-80 Richards Blvd exit and head east. Then, turn left at Pole Line Avenue. The tunnel runs under Pole Line Road overpass.
