Step into the mysterious world of bats like never before at the immersive, multi-sensory exhibit, Bats: Out of the Darkness, at the Richmond Nature Park from March 8 to Aug. 24, 2025.
This dynamic exhibit, presented by the Richmond Nature Park Society and on loan from the Kelowna Museum, showcases the fascinating lives of bats through a family-friendly experience.
Visitors can uncover the world of bats and explore their ecological importance and habitats, along with the vital role bats play in controlling inspect populations and pollinating plants. Guests are also encouraged to discover the deep cultural significance of bats through Indigenous perspectives, and gain insight into the challenges bats face, including habitat loss, disease and human misconceptions.
Bats: Out of the Darkness features hands-on displays, including bat taxidermy and interactive elements such as audio-visual presentations. The entire exhibit offers an engaging way for visitors of all ages to learn more about these incredible creatures and highlight the importance of bat conservation efforts and ways the public can help protect these vital flying mammals.
Richmond is the Lower Mainland's first "Bat Friendly" certified city, and on Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9, chiropterologists (bat experts) will be at the Nature House to answer questions about bat biology, behaviour and the ongoing efforts to conserve bat populations. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with local experts and better understand bats and their role in British Columbia's natural environment.
The Nature House is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.
