About the event

The Misunderstood Bat
The Misunderstood Bat

Halloween is strongly associated with bats, so much so that Oct 24-31 is national Bat Week! At Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, you can join us to learn about these amazing mammals and the adaptations and the benefits they provide. Park superintendent Tom Forwood shares how to tell the bat myths from the bat facts and visitors will come to find that truth really can be stranger (and much cooler!) than fiction.

Bring: Water, comfortable clothing and shoes, sun protection, hat

Meet: Headquarters, tram turnaround

Cost: Entry fee is $5 for adults and FREE 12 & under (Park entry free with Texas State Park Pass.).
