The University of Florida Bat Houses may not sound interesting, but when you think about the fact that they are home to the world’s largest occupied bat houses — you realize this is worth a visit.
After sunset, you can see the crazy emergence of the bats as they take to the sky. It seems like it is something straight out of a Halloween movie, and is incredibly close to a similar experience in Austin, Texas.
The best seasons for seeing the bats emerge are spring through early summer. Make sure you find a spot right before sunset.
