This was an absolutely amazing experience! You could hear the bats inside the bridge before they even started flying out. Fantastic. My kids were over the moon watching this. We will definitely come see this again!

OMGOSH!!! Getting to watch the bats take off at early dusk was AWESOME! It is so mesmerizing to watch so many bats leave the bridge and head into the sky for the beginning of night! Over 1.5 million bats live under the bridge and it does take quite some time for all of them to come out. You definitely get time to see them and be taken in by them simple amazing little creatures 🦇

It's a very neat experience! I went early and waited for two hours for the bats to come out. This was also on a Monday so it was not extremely crowded. It's very cool to hear the bats and see them fly out. Family friendly and free. Weekends may be very crowded but if I had did it again I would go right after sun set and not go early and wait. As soon as they started flying people left. After that it was not crowded on the bridge. I'd definitely say to go once and experience it.

Went here to watch the bats at night but found out it was to early. Best end of July/August. We saw about 6-10 of them but had fun visiting with all the other people there so it was still a great time. Had drinks at the Four Seasons first so that was also nice

One of the coolest experiences I've ever had was watching all those bats fly out from under this bridge, it's so amazing! This is a must do in Austin! The best time to view the bats (in August at least) is 8:00PM.
