Prospect Park Twilight Tours, Bats Included

We're not sure how we feel about "mysterious nocturnal fauna" in Prospect Park, as we enjoy predictable and known fauna. But if you want to check it out, you can participate in some Thursday Night Twilight Tours of Prospect Park in coming weeks. In the words of the park's press office:

Enjoy an evening of strolling and cruising, wine and cheese, and the Park’s mysterious nocturnal fauna. Start out with a ride on the electric boat Independence, followed by guided exploration of the Park’s nature trails and a chance to meet the amazing bats that call Prospect Park home. $25 per person (payable at the Audubon center by cash or credit card).

Dates are Thursday July 19 & August 2, 23 and 30. The tours run from 7PM-9PM and include both the boat ride on the lake (sounds like fun) and a "naturalist led bat tour" (sounds like fun depending on how you feel about bats.) Tours start from the Audobon Center. Call (718) 287-3400 x114 for more info or to make reservations. Please bear in mind that we're working very hard not to include a Dracula joke.
