Bats in our Belfry
August 1, 2025 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Spend an exciting evening with Kilby’s bats! Bring a chair and prepare to be amazed as mothers and their pups emerge at dusk to feed on mosquitoes. Our Little Brown Myotis colony is alive and doing well with a count of over 3000 bats last year! Mothers from this endangered species return year after year to raise their young in the attics of the Kilby Historic Site.
Families are welcome. Leashed pets welcome.
New this year: Visit the upstairs in the museum to hear delightful squeals and shuffling as the bats prepare to fly!
Doors open at 8:00 pm. Tickets at the door. $5/person or $20/group (up to 6 people). Cancelled if raining. Please check our website for updates.
