"An awesome free thing to do while in town. The number of bats is incredible . Be sure to arrive 20-30 minutes before sunset to get a great spot. The bats will start trickling out shortly after sunset."
"Amazing! Thousands of bats came out and over our heads. Don't think that they will be swooping down on the lake in front of you, because they don't. Still, an incredible sight to see! Next time, we will sit facing the houses to watch them emerge!"
"Had a great time. 7:30pm was sunset, bats were out by 7:50pm. If you can ignore all the people and kids talking loudly, along with dogs barking, you'll appreciate this bat fly out."
"Sundown was at 830pm on the month of August, at that time the bats came out. It was a great, awesome and relaxing experience. It's a free experience and is a most see."
"We went in the evening with our food and we spent 4 hours from 4 to 8. We took a lot of photos with the blossoming flower. And the ecstatic view of Lake Alice on the other side of road was awesome! Feel so fresh in the cool air and beautiful view! Highly recommend for visit!"
