We at Austin Bat Refuge revived and re-invented the long-dormant Information Program at the bridge, and we continue to provide information to tourists several times a week. During the season (mid-March to the end of October), please visit Austin Bat Refuge at the Bat Viewing Area under the south side of Congress Avenue Bridge.

Our Bat Journal

We love meeting people from all over Texas, the U.S., and the whole world as they come to witness this natural wonder in the heart of our city. Please stop by and sign our Bat Journal; we’d love to know how to say “bat” in your language.

Take a look at a digital version of our Bat Journal. Email us a cute drawing and some goodwill and we’ll feature your entry too!
