Bats Learning Program
The Bat Observation Centre is the only place in the world where students can peek into the underground world of one of our most endangered animals, via infrared camera. This program also includes a visit to the Blanche Cave, where in winter groups of bats can often be seen huddled in groups, hibernating on the cave ceiling.
