Get to meet flying-foxes up close in a safe environment and learn much more about them!
Due to popular demand, we are running Meet a bat night again in March as our venue wasn’t large enough to include everyone who registered for the February event and we don’t want anyone to miss out!
What’s happening:
- Close (but safe) encounter with live bats
- Kids’ craft activities
- Your bat questions answered along with displays and presentation
- Shortly after sunset watch the spectacular fly-out as flying-foxes leave their roosting site to forage for the night
