Family trip. Something different, glad we were able to see them. Pretty amazing to see that many bats in one place. They came out about 10 minutes after sunset.

This is an amazing display put on by Mother Nature with thousands of bats flying out from under the bridge just before sunset. We watched it from the water down below via a boat tour, but you can watch from the bridge itself as well. They all follow each other so you can see the trail of bats like a black ribbon trailing across the sky past the skyscrapers. Egrets, hawks, and herons were sitting in the nearby trees and swooped in to grab dinner. It's pretty amazing to see nature at work, and best of all, it's a free activity. Another bonus - they eat tons of mosquitoes every night. I'd recommend going during the warmer months because the bats don't emerge if it's cold.

It was fun to see the bats but beware it stinks!! I kept the kids in the hill away from the bats. The bats may fall and they warm you not to touch. The 2nd time we stood in the bridge! The birds hover near by the eat the bats.

A wonderful free activity. Be sure to take bug spray, wear glasses and watch out for Poop. An overwhelming site at the number of bats and the trail they take in the sky to way off.
Good to watch them from the top of the bridge as well as down underneath the bridge. It can be crowded get there early and they do come out when they come out not at a specific time.

This is a Fantastic Nature Show.
Arrive around 30 minutes before Sunset. They will come flying out anytime 30 min before Sunset til just after Sunset.
Tens of 1000's come flying out from under the bridge like a tornado off to eat Mosquito's for the evening.
Great sight to see.
The Hawks are also waiting to pick them off for dinner as well.
South side of the bridge on Allen Parkway side is best viewing area.
Can sit on grassy hill by base of bridge, up top on the edge of sidewalk, or sidewalk on the bridge itself. Plenty of viewing area.
There is a parking lot just to the West of Waugh called lost lake with several free spot. Also a nice little nature area to walk around.

If you want to see a wonder of nature for free, then this is the place to show up. The bats emerge almost year round and nightly so planning to see this is pretty easy. On select Fridays, there is a Bat Team member there who interprets and one in particular, De Andra Ramsey is so knowledgeable. She brings "bio-facts" so you can really get up close to bats but stay safe. Love this experience and would do it again (have dine it multiple times).

Well worth a visit. Just go 30 minutes before sunset. There no need to get there any earlier. Parking is free across the street or you can park on the street. Stand on the side of the bridge with the tall buildings. This is where the bats fly out of. When I went the bugs were a little anointing so you may want bug spray for summer viewing. Also, keep your eyes up for the hawks that are hunting the bats.

Just thousands of bats appearing from under a bridge at sunset. Amazing to watch. Get there 30 mins before sundown and take some insect repellent!

A very nice experience! To maximize your enjoyment, here’s what I learned about parking: you will find 3 hours of FREE parking off Allen Pkwy (very near Dunlavy St). Then you walk along the concrete pathway that parallels Allen Pkwy (walking towards Waugh Bridge) and follow the path UNDER the bridge. Once you come out the other side of the bridge, you will see a grassy area and an observation deck on the right hand side. You can hear the bats “chirp” as you near the bridge and you can definitely smell something in the air! The bats came out on a June night at 8:43pm. And they kept flying out for at least 15 minutes. They always fly in one direction (east). You can either view them from the grassy area or the observation area or from the Waugh bridge sidewalk. All those views were equally nice.

I’m giving this 4 stars, because while the bats didn’t cooperate, the area is gorgeous. We parked in a parking lot right past the bridge. It was free parking for 3 hours. The park is really pretty! You can hike, bike, and rent a kayak. There are very easy to follow signs to get to the bat area. Everyone is correct, you CAN smell the bats. You can even hear the bats! We waited for over an hour to see the bats. It was freezing cold. 4-5 bats would fly out at a time. It was extremely underwhelming. However, the sign does say their flight depends on the weather. We figured we picked a bad night!

What time should I arrive in October it's starti by to get dark around 6:00 now and I really want to see the bats! Can anyone please suggest to me a good time to arrive??

Since the time will vary depending of the day, the bat don't use a clock anyway, I would recommend being there up to an hour before sunset. They start to emerge from the bridge while it is pretty light out in small numbers, then a large batch, and will continue for 15 or more minutes.
