About

Have you ever looked a flying-fox in the eye?

Seen and heard the echolocation calls of a microbat on a bat detector?

Learn about their lives, their importance to the environment and the work of the bat hospital.

We start with two short videos, an 8-minute movie about what we do and a 2 minute one featuring Little Red flying foxes. We then enjoy a bat talk as we wander around our world-class facilities to meet the different bats.
