O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Thousands of bats emerge from beneath the bridge at dusk, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The bridge supports one of the largest urban bat colonies in North America, with up to 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats.
Istaknuto: At night, the sky lights up with a swirling cloud of bats forming mesmerizing patterns as they hunt for insects. The bridge’s wooden beams serve as a cozy day roost, tucked right in the heart of the bustling city.
Insajderski saveti
- Wear comfortable shoes for riverside walks and bring a light jacket for cool evenings.
- Arrive early to grab a spot on the east side of the bridge for unobstructed views.
- Capture the bats against a sunset sky for dramatic photos, but be mindful of low light conditions.
- Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends, especially during peak bat season.
