Spring break is out of season for the bat flight, however there are a few "stay behinders" we were able to see enough bats to get the feel of the flight but were told that it is much larger in season.

I brought my 7 and 9 year old daughters to this program after visiting the caverns. It was a once in a lifetime kind of thing. My girls really enjoyed it and talked about it for days!
