Sightseeing
In the summer months, go to the Congress Ave Bridge over Town Lake at dusk and watch the world's largest urban colony of bats take to the sky. The beauty of 1.5 million Mexican Freetail bats silhouetted against the darkening sky is breathtaking. Bring a blanket and a beverage (kept under wraps), and settle in for the show.
