Guests at Bat Night can watch as bats drop from their daytime roost to begin their nightly hunt for insects, and will have the chance to get up close and personal with a live bat. The family event also includes activities such as a puppet play, storytelling, and games. Guest speaker Dara Ohrbach from the University of Western Ontario will be on hand to discuss these misunderstood mammals, and to dispel some of the myths surrounding these little creatures.
