Every night from April to October, in Carlsbad, New Mexico, millions of Mexican free-tailed bats head out to have their supper. All you have to do is come, sit in the amphitheater, learn about the bats in our evening talk, and then prepare to enjoy one of the most outstanding natural views to be seen in New Mexico.

The Bat Flight Program in Carlsbad Cavern National Park is one of the most popular spots on the grid, and it’s definitely something to take into account when visiting New Mexico.
