Did you know Pennsylvania is home to nine different species of bats
Did you know Pennsylvania is home to nine different species of bats? Learn why bats are important animals in our ecosystem, how humans can help protect them, and how they’re not as scary as they may seem during our November Open House! A special presentation from The Pennsylvania Bat Rescue and Rehabilitation Center will be given at 1pm where brave participants will get to meet and greet some of the center's live ambassador bats! Visitors can also view skeletons, spiders, and other spooky specimens in our collection, decorate paper bat masks, and try their luck at a blind touch table and guess a specimen by feel. Scavenger hunts and sketching supplies will be available to those looking for deeper engagement with our collection. Adults & children are encouraged to come in costume!
