Family Fun Saturday: Bats: Night Fliers of the Skies
With Halloween coming up in just a few weeks, fall is a great time to dive into the world of Bats: Night Fliers of the Skies, the topic of Family Fun Saturday at the Nevada State Museum. Unravel myths about bats and learn why they should be protected. Learn to recognize common Nevada bats that eat insects and use echolocation. Distinguish them from Old World bats that are larger, eat different foods, and don’t necessarily use echolocation to find their way. Make a batty craft, write a poem, and explore bat science in the Discovery Lab. There will be lots of fun this close to Halloween!
Although the program is developed for grades 2-5, all ages are welcome to participate. There are no materials fees. Admission is $10 for adults and free for museum members. Ages 17 and under are always free.
