Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats
About the Exhibition
Produced by Evergreen Exhibitions, a premier provider of traveling exhibits, the exhibit brings the mystery surrounding bats out of the dark and dispels popular misconceptions about bats, emphasizing the unique value these amazing winged creatures add to our ecology.
The special exhibition includes special effects, multi-sensory interactive displays, a Gothic castle and lifelike environmental settings. A transitional area with bat portrait photography and a giant-screen video introduces visitors to the real world of bats as diverse, beneficial mammals with fascinating skills and extraordinary abilities.
A hands-on display relates to the nocturnal activities of bats, such as echolocation (sonar ability), pollination, diet and flight. In a demonstration of echolocation, guests are invited to use a joystick to maneuver a bat model in search of food using a laser to simulate sonar. Visitors will also learn how caring bat mothers are by using sound to help the mother bat find her baby in a bat nursery, and much more.
