Step into the shadows and discover the incredible nightlife of St. Patrick’s Island on July 26th from 10 - Midnight! Join us for a fun and family-friendly evening exploring the fascinating world of bats and moths.
We’ll set up a special moth-lighting station to attract a dazzling variety of nocturnal insects, perfect for up-close observation and learning about moth diversity during National Moth Week. At the same time, you’ll get the chance to use real bat detectors that pick up the high-frequency calls of bats swooping through the evening sky.
You’ll learn how to identify local bat species and hear firsthand how these night-flyers help keep ecosystems in balance.

Moth viewing at a light station
Bat detectors to hear real-time echolocation
Nature experts on hand to answer your questions
A laid-back, interactive evening suitable for all ages

Natural scenery

小思文

Calgary is a very beautiful city. This is a city park. Prince Island Park has rich natural scenery. The park is full of various green and delicious plants and flowers. It is quite comfortable in the evening. The whole area is also very good.

Peace Bridge

It seems that a tunnel bridge is also a nearby transportation hub through the river. This bridge is very eye-catching in color, red intersecting institutions, no vehicles, people and bicycles can pass freely, there are lights at night, Feng Jia is beautiful. [View] Very beautiful

it&#39;s a nice place to visit not only for kids but for adults who love animals as well. i went here alone, and it was nice to have a walk and see the animals at the same time. sadly,the pandas are gone, but i got to see them before they&#39;re gone.
