This nightly migration was initially met with fear, but slowly an appreciation developed and now, as the sun sets, visitors watch as the angry black cloud of 1.5 million bats spiral out into the summer sky. Making for one of the most unique and fascinating tourist attractions anywhere, the Congress Avenue Bridge Bats is a summer sight not to be missed.

The Congress Avenue Bridge is located in the Zilker Metropolitan Park and is free to the public. Crowds begin to gather come dusk, so it’s best to stake out a spot early.
