Bat Walk

Kartchner Caverns invites you to join us for a walk in the park as we uncover and learn about some of the 13 different neighboring bat species in the park. We will use bat detectors while on a walk through the beautiful desert night to see and hear some of them while learning about the diversity of these flying mammals. Boldly go where the public generally doesn't get to walk. Due to the quiet nature of the walk and the duration, this is recommended for kids 6 and older. Please bring the following with you: - A headlamp or flashlight (black light for children) - Night vision goggles or equipment - Comfortable shoes - Your personal bat detector (if you have one) - Plenty of water
