 Bat
World Everglades offers a variety of entertaining educational
programs for all ages. Each program varies from another
somewhat in topic from bats from around the world to the bats of
Florida. All of the educational programs dispel myths and
provide the audience a great natural history and knowledge of
these misunderstood creatures. Most programs are roughly one
hour in duration and can be geared toward any age group, including
adults. One program is specifically designed for pre-K to
kindergarten and is roughly 30-45 minutes in duration. |

 The
type of bats shown vary also with the theme of the program.
Bats shown can be from other countries (the larger fruit bats - a
favorite of most people) to native species. Bat World
Everglades is also proud to be fortunate enough to be one of three organizations in the United States that has the largest type of
fruit bat in the world, the Malayan Flying Fox or Large Flying Fox
for use in educational outreach.

from $80 - $125 plus travel fees. Travel fees are based on
distance and are determined by the county within Florida.

auditorium, festival, library, retail stores (for bat houses
sales), mist-netting or outdoor programs (non-flighted bats) can
