⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
Memorial Weekend Bat Boat Tour
Friday, 7:20 PM - 8:50 PM
"It avoids the chaotic traffic of major holiday festivals while offering the coolest perspective of the skyline as humidity drops in the evening."
PRO TIP: The bat colony is light-sensitive; they emerge within 15 minutes of sunset, so have your camera ready by 8:05 PM.
