Crystal Cave

Oh my gosh bring the family. This cave is incredible.... The history is magnificent... Read all about it.

Nothing fancy, as others have noted. It’s an unassuming fenced-off hole in the ground. But at dusk, (well after sunset right before it gets dark) it comes alive.

Just as you start to get impatient & think nothing’s gonna happen, one or two bats appear, circle the opening, then fly off. Others follow, and while it might not reach the huge vortex of swirling bats the movies make you expect, it IS an impressive display of nature you prob don’t see every day.

Perfect for families, homeschoolers (lots of real science to experience here!) and anyone who wants to do something not involving a screen or money. There is a bench here that will allow you to watch the sunset and the bats.

Do yourself a favor: put the phone down and immerse yourself in the experience.

Reminder: please do not throw anything into the cave.

Note the bats will not come at you. They circle their enclosure and fly off to the south and west. They are not interested in you and will not attack you. Unless you’re a mosquito. Then you’re a goner.

This is in a residential area, so please be respectful.

Arrive early, bring your water bottle, and watch the sunset from atop one of the highest points that is publicly accessible.

amazing experience, if you think visit there place, the best time is 8:00 pm, the área is a residential zone, so be respectful and don't be noise, be patience and enjoy the bat show.

Super cool!! I have never seen so many bats come out of a cave before

Really cool cave, get there at dusk during the summer to see the bats fly out. 🦇
Also a geocache there GC58474

I wish this would let me post a video clip of the bats as they flew out! It was amazing to see and well worth the trip! Just go at dusk or all you see is the hole in the ground!

So cool! We got there a few minutes before sunset and parked by the tennis court. There is a bench about 50 ft from the cave entrance and we hung out and waited. About 30 minutes after the sunset the bats came flooding out of the cave. It was SO worth the wait! Thousands of them! Highly recommend especially for kids to see. Our boys (ages 7 & 10) really enjoyed it! We stayed and watched for about 45 min and they were still super active. Don't miss this neat experience!

My wife and I watched the bats coming out and it was really exciting and a bit scary as well yet my wife went back again the next night would definitely go again !

Very very cool. Arrive by 15 minutes after sunset and bring a flashlight. Stand near the fence and you can see them filter out slowly for quite a while.

The bats at dusk were spectacular. The kids and I enjoyed it so much

An added bonus to our day of exploring the area

Such a lovely place to see bats by the thousands swarm out at dusk!:)♥

Very Interesting, Historically.

Really awesome cave for curious people

Nice tall iron fence.

Beautiful place quiet and relaxing

Good place to go

Es una experiencia muy bonito pero no puedes llevar niños muy pequeños.por que tienes que mantenerte en silencio por que puedes espantar los murciélagos pero es una experiencia muy divertida para niños que les gustan muchos los animales mis niños tienen 4y5 y ellos disfrutaron mucho

Bonito lugar impresionante visitenlo.
