The first ever Cavern Fall Bat Fest kicks off at Natural Bridge Caverns every weekend in October. This free family friendly event celebrates both fall and our favorite local resident – bats! Activities include bat educational displays, a mini-hay maze, a bat-themed scavenger hunt, live music, fun photo stops with pumpkins, scarecrows, and fall themes, and a free AMAZEn’ Ranch Round-Up maze ticket to anyone who comes in a family-friendly costume. In addition, there will also be new seasonal menu items and, on October 26th and 27th even more fun including free Trick or Treating.
“Cavern Fall Bat Fest not only takes advantage of the gorgeous autumn weather and beautiful Texas Hill Country views here on property,” said Travis Wuest vice president at Natural Bridge Caverns. “It’s also our opportunity to show our love for some of the hardest workers in our eco system – bats! While the Mexican Free-Tail bat gets lots of attention, our most recent biological survey has shown that we have 11 different species of bats that call this area home. We continue to learn about their needs and how we can continue to provide a place where they can thrive.”
Natural Bridge Caverns also offers five different cave tours, a six-story tall zip rails and ropes course, great food and shopping. “Combined with all our free fun activities, folks can stay and enjoy a relaxing fall day in the Hill Country,” said Wuest.

Natural Bridge Caverns is one of the world’s premier show caverns. Discovered in 1960 by local cavers, this family owned and operated natural wonder is the largest cavern in Texas. More than two stunning cave tours, the property features above ground adventures of a different kind including a ropes course, zip rails, a 5,000 square foot outdoor maze, and even an interactive “panning” activity. More of the cavern is still being discovered; the Wuest family along with their caving team are still actively exploring new areas in the massive cavern. Natural Bridge Caverns is a designated State Historical Site, National Natural Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
