Family Fun Saturday: Bats: Night Flyers of the Skies

Unravel myths about bats and learn why they should be protected. Learn to recognize common Nevada bats that eat insects and use echolocation. Distinguish them from Old World bats that are larger, eat different foods, and don’t necessarily use echolocation to find their way. Make a batty craft, write a poem, and explore bat science in the Discovery Lab. Lots of fun that’s close to Halloween! This program is developed for grades 2-5, but all ages are welcome. No additional materials fee. Cost is $10 for adults and free for museum members. Ages 17 and under are always free.
