Do bats do aerobatics when they’re not hanging around? Have a hoot and an owl-right time as we spin some fun tales and learn about night creatures with our ranger-led talks. The 14th annual “Bats, Spiders, Owls – Oh My!” event is Friday evening, October 25th. This event is free. Tours will run every twenty minutes with the first tour starting at 6:00 p.m. and the last tour starting at 7:40 p.m.

Rangers will be stationed at three stops on a ¼ mile walk presenting information and telling stories about three creatures of the night: bats, spiders and owls. Please bring a flashlight and wear sturdy shoes. Arriving in costume is welcome! Enjoy crafts and treats outside the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center while you wait for your tour.

The park is open daily 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This event is free, but normally admission is $10 per adult and free for youth 15 years old and under.
