Creatures of the Night: Bats
About
Creatures of the Night: Bats is a free evening program with the Urban Park Rangers at Crocheron Park in Bayside, Queens. As night falls, the rangers guide visitors in learning more about the park's bats, the winged neighbors that come out at dusk. NYC Parks lists the program for Sunday, October 11, 2026, from 6pm to 7:30pm. It meets at the park entrance at 215th Place and 33rd Road. The price is listed as free. No minimum age or registration requirement is recorded for it, so check the NYC Parks event page for the latest details before you go. No transit notes are recorded for this entrance, so enter the cross streets above into a trip planner for subway and bus options. Several other ranger-led evening programs are listed in the coming weeks, which makes this a good starting point if you like after-dark nature outings. Nocturnal Insects Hike follows at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx on Sunday, October 18 at 7pm, and the Autumn Starfest at Inwood Hill Park in Manhattan runs on Saturday, October 24 from 7pm. Together with Bats they give a free evening nature series across three boroughs.
