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!
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.
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!
Come see 500,000 bats take flight. No exaggeration. About 15 minutes after sunset. Plenty of parking available.
Graduated in 2006 and learned of this "hidden gem" early on as a good place to bring dates. Back then it wasn't very crowded and there was only one bat house. It was amazing having all the bats fly around you using their echo location. The picture below is circa 2006 after I finished all my Undergraduate studies.
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.
This was a really cool experience. I have been wanting to see this for a long time. The birds of prey waiting for them to come out was unexpected. A really awesome experience.
A river of bats! That's the best way to describe 500,000 bats coming out of their houses all at once. When you first see the houses you think to yourself "wow, I bet there are 10,000 bats in there." You can multiply that number by 50! This is one of my favorite places in Gainesville. Everyone should come here at least once. Basically, every evening at sunset the bats all come out of their houses to feed. Their feeding grounds are miles away so they fly out in what looks like a river that you can follow with your eyes into the distance. The sounds, smells and visuals are electric.
Since August, roughly 4 months, I have been going to AXIS and I am humbled and grateful for the amazing trainers here! I spent 45 years building bad habits and ignoring fitness, when I finally had some success on my own I learned that effort without
GainzVille Hub is AMAZING! I stumbled upon their downtown location about a year ago when they first opened and like fine wine theyâve only gotten better with time. Visited again today with my daughter and it is such an aesthetically pleasing atmosp
This is One of the best Mexican restaurants in this location. I would recommend any of their food or margaritas with the fresh fruit. Iâve never gotten a bad drink or meal from here. Sometimes depending on the server and how many tables they have t
Such a wonderful place! I love that they make sure every dog is registered and up to date on their shots to keep a safe environment. Food trucks, drinks, and staff are lovely! Definitely worth stopping by. :)
I visited here with two of my friends. Germains has been on our list of places we needed to try before winter break. We tried the Korean fried chicken, classic, and the hot honey chicken sandwiches. As expected from a fried chicken restaurant the chi
This place is too cute. The property is charming and the owner and staff are more than accommodating. We came back a second time and extended our stay, we like it that much. So close, to some many things to do. I highly recommend a stay in this adora
This hole in a wall bakery is one of the best representations of Latin American baking in Gainesville. I bought 1 of everything on the front displays for my wife's birthday. Despite a slight language barrier, the owners are extremely welcoming and wi
Lead Fitness is a place where youâll not only get a great workout, but youâll find yourself a part of a wonderful community. The classes may be smaller than some of the other gyms but that just means you get individualized coaching and make frien
Best little place to relax and listen to some good music every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3 to 6. The Bartender is the best in Gainesville imo... Friendly environment to come and chill.
We had a private tour on 1/12/2023 and it was genuinely an amazing experience. The facilities were well maintained at a high level of cleanliness and all of the bats and other animals there were in excellent condition. Itâs evident that these beaut
