The real destination is the Monolithic Dome Research Neighborhood this thing is a part of! I found that to be very cool! I didn't care much about the caterpillar.

Don't even have to stop for a great picture of this oddity. Great if you are riding with a non-stopper. Save your "must see" for something else, but still get a cool pic!
[Gretchen, 08/08/2013]I can't help but smile when we drive by this! Cool history behind it also. Worth a look if you're close.

The World's Largest Caterpillar is really only good for a quick roadside picture. Take exit and stay on frontage road. You will see the caterpillar building before entering I-35 (going north).
