Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.

When

June 19, 2025. 8:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

The one and only mammal on the planet capable of true flight absolutely loves Hungry Mother State Park. Join our interpretive rangers on a wagon ride throughout the park to hit up the resident bat hot spots. We'll be dispelling myths and learning to appreciate our flying friends around us along the way. Using a sonar detector, we can learn the species of bats that are flying overhead.

Spots are limited, so registration and payment of $3 per participant are required in advance at the Discovery Center or by calling (276) 781-7400.
