Join Humane Indiana Wildlife to get batty about one of our favorite creatures of the night!

On Saturday, September 16, from 5 - 9 p.m., we invite you to the Humane Indiana Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center in Valparaiso, IN, for an evening of everything about bats!

Did you know there are nearly 1,000 bat species worldwide? Do you know which bats are native to Indiana? AND bats make up a quarter of all mammal species on earth! Get a close-up of their elongated fingers and winged membrane, and join us as we learn about this mysterious creature, the only mammal capable of flight. Then we'll head out to our wildlife grounds for some wild bat-watching!

• Fun for the whole family

• Night hikes on our trails to see local bats in action, using EchoTouch Sonar and night vision goggles

• Special activities and crafts for all ages

• Meet some of Humane Indiana Wildlife’s amazing animal ambassadors

The event will be held indoors and outside, so we encourage you to dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes or boots.

Tickets are $10 per person. Ages 4 and under are free.
