1200 Congress Ave360 Bridge
4801 Plaza on the LakeStarting in late March and continuing through early fall, North America's largest urban bat population calls Austin home. The bats begin to wake up and start their night flight around sunset. The first few bats begin to trickle out from under the bridge then. After the sun sets, the show really begins, and hundreds to thousands of bats pour out and cascade East over Lady Bird Lake.

If you are from a Mountainous Region you will likely NOT get any value out of seeing this but it is a Local favorite and flat landers might enjoy this view.
