Bat Appreciation Day
INTERNATIONAL BAT APPRECIATION DAY on April 17 is a chance to show our flying and mostly nocturnal friends some love.
- Come join us here at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park on this day and let’s creep a little “deeper into the cave” and take a closer look at everything these flying mammals have to offer and why we literally can not live without them.
- Colorado Bat CREW from Denver CO will be our special guest this day as well as our very own bat experts. Experts will be highlighting the importance of bats and how they affect our lives.
- Kids can also celebrate our furry little friends as they get to meet Professor Bat E. and ask any bat related questions for a fun and educational good time. Craft table will feature: Creating bat origami’s & coloring bat pages. Coloring pages can then be entered into a contest on our social media platform to WIN a REAL BAT HOUSE!! (Bat cookies in individual safe ziplock bags will be available while supplies last!)
Join us on this very special event and let’s give our bat friends much love and appreciation!!
