When to go
The best time to visit Old Tunnel State Park is from May through October, during the bat season. This is when you can witness the spectacular bat emergence each evening. Outside of these months, the park remains open for daytime activities such as hiking and bird-watching, but the bats are not present.
Know before you go
- Remember to purchase your bat-viewing tickets in advance as they are not sold on-site and space is limited.
- Check the park's social media or call ahead for the latest bat emergence times and plan to arrive an hour earlier.
- Bring your own drinking water, as water is not available in the park.
- For the safety of wildlife and visitors, camping, pets, and smoking are not allowed in the park.
- The bat viewing areas and the trail to them are accessible for visitors with mobility impairments.
