IDAHO FALLS - On Thursday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Jericho Whiting with BYU-Idaho will introduce you to the bats of Idaho, explain why they’re important, and discuss ways Idaho Falls Zoo is helping protect natural habitat and expand the knowledge of local bats. The program will be held in the William J. Maeck Education Center.

Please register in advance. Admissions will not be sold at the event. Cost of the event is $6.50 per person ages 3 and over. 2 and under is only $0.50. Sign up today at https://www.idahofallsidaho.gov/1312/Bat-Night-at-the-Zoo.

You’ll gain a new appreciation for bats and discover they really are the superheroes of the animal world.

Stay informed on the fun at the zoo. Follow Idaho Falls Zoo on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and subscribe to zoo notices under Notify Me on the City’s website, www.idahofalls.gov.
