Nature Pop-up: Nocturnal Neighbors

This event has been canceled.

Meet the critters that come out after dark!

In partnership with Blake Sasse of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, this interactive Nature Pop-Up invites guests of all ages to explore the secret lives of bats —Arkansas’s most fascinating nocturnal mammals.

From insect control to seed dispersal, these often-misunderstood creatures play essential roles in keeping ecosystems healthy and balanced. Join us for hands-on educational activities, engaging conservation conversations, and a closer look at how these nighttime specialists contribute to the natural world. Whether you’re a curious first-timer or a wildlife enthusiast, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for the animals that work the night shift.

Free, no tickets required.

Each month, Crystal Bridges invites community nature partners to lead interactive, drop-in sessions that celebrate the beauty, diversity, and ecosystem of Northwest Arkansas.
