Description:
Home to the world's largest urban bat colony, Congress Avenue Bridge is truly an unusual tourist attraction, luring 100,000 visitors each year to view the 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats take flight each summer evening into the Austin sky. Though bats can be seen at the bridge as early as March, the best bat-viewing time of year is August, when the season's young bat-pups join their mothers in flight. Congress Avenue Bridge is located in Downtown Austin, 10 blocks south of the State Capitol.
Hours of Operation:
Flights occur Mar - Aug: nightly at dusk.

Fabulous to see the bats fly over in such huge masses. Not so fun when the timing doesn't work out for them to come out.
