I come here once every couple of years, and its always a fun sight to see. I like going at the end of the summer because the bat community is HUGE that time of year. Its crazy to see the number of bats flying out from under the bridge. I don't know how they all fit under there. We parked... More

but once or twice is enough. Did the first time from the bridge and was AMAZED at the number of bats that come out. Honestly looked like a biblical plague after they spread out into the sky. Did the next night from below where the atmosphere is a bit more festive. You have to do it if you're in town.... More

It was very windy the night we were there (April 9), and maybe that was why there were so few bats. I have seen photos of the masses, but we saw only a trickle. It still was a good experience to be out on the bridge with a lot of people at sunset. The best part were the white birds... More

Keep in mind the bats are only here in Summer time. A lot of people stand around waiting for the show at the wrong time of year.

I had to see this as the guide books all spoke of it. What a great sight to see the bats come out in formations as dusk falls. It seemed like a never ending exodus of bats. One hint...stand on the bridge rather than take a bat boat out on the lake. But if you do take the bat boat...hold... More

It's hard to say when to show up for this event every night; it seems to fluctuate, but make time to go and wait on the bridge. Make sure you stand on the bridge! The bats are much closer and you can see them better and longer than from the ground. They were literally feet from our faces when they... More

Amazing to see how organized this many bats can be. Located right in the middle of the city. Free entertainment and good for families.
