Halloween: Batfest

The Cincinnati Museum Center devotes the entire day to celebrating bats.

The Cincinnati Museum Center devotes the entire day to celebrating bats. Learn about caves (and explore the world’s largest artificial limestone cave), the bats that inhabit them and their role in our ecosystem. Watch a bat flight, examine bat specimens and sample bat-pollinated fruits. Or, to get real festive, get your face painted, make a mask or don your own spooky threads for the costume parade and Monster Mash dance party. 


10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. $5.50-$12.50; free for members. 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate, cincymuseum.org.
