Glacier National Park in West Glacier, Montana, is set to host its “Going Batty” field trip on Thursday, July 17, 2025, from 8:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. The event is a unique opportunity for the public to learn more about the park’s nocturnal wildlife, with a specific focus on bats. The event is free of charge, but those interested in attending must register in advance due to limited availability.
The “Going Batty” field trip is part of Glacier National Park’s ongoing commitment to promote awareness and understanding of the park’s diverse wildlife.

To participate in the “Going Batty” field trip, attendees must register in advance on the Glacier National Park’s website. The event is open to all, but due to the nature of the field trip, spaces are limited. Attendees are encouraged to register early to secure their spot and enjoy this unique opportunity to explore Glacier National Park after dark.
