Quite small museum, but the knowledgeable and enthousiastic staff made up for it. I have a much greater appreciation for the importance of bats upon the ecosystem. The highlight was watching the bats behind the glass in the room at the back during mealtime. Highly recommend visiting this tour while in Monteverde. Tour lasts about 40m-1h; 10$/student, 12$/adult.

A group of four of us recently visited The Bat Jungle. Not really knowning what to expect we were delighted to experience a most informative and educational tour. For anyone travelling around Monte Verde we would definitely recommend including this venue as part an itinerary. Excellent value and extremely interesting Doug and Ulai Kirwin Thailand

They have skeletons you can look at under... More

We had a morning free in Monteverde and based on reviews we decided to give this a shot (with my 10 and 14 year olds). We got the tour from Fabio and it was VERY interesting. Even my 14 year old daughter who isn't into creepy things or guided tours loved it. Try to call ahead to schedule your tour... More

After our magical trek in the Reserve we went to lunch at the restaurant above the Bat Jungle, then went for a tour. I don't know how to explain it - it's a small museum and you wouldn't really expect something fabulous, but it is! The man who runs it is so passionate - we learned so much and my... More

The answer is: visit this place with him/her. Our daughter was horrified in the beginning when entered the dark room and finally didn't want to leave once experienced it. Our guide was kind enough to make a personalized visit just for 3 of us and made it last just enough to learn about bats and keep focused our little daugher.... More
