Did you know that more than 250,000 bats call Waugh Bridge on Buffalo Bayou home?

The Buffalo Bayou Partnership offers boat tours of the bat colony on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, March through October. Guests on these tours will enjoy an amazing view from pontoon boats on the bayou’s waters as the bats emerge from under the bridge.  It is a fun and educational evening where you and your family can view and learn about these magnificent flying mammals that share the city with us.

Dates for the remainder of 2010 are:

• July 9 & 23
• August 13 & 27
• September 10 & 24
• October 8 & 22

$35 per adult; $25 per child (ages 4-12) no children under 4
Children under the age of 13 must wear (provided) life jackets while onboard.

All bat tours leave from Sabine Promenade.

You can walk through downtown Houston via the 6.2-mile tunnel system without having to set foot in the hot, humid weather! Take a tour with Discover Houston tours (Call 713-222-WALK.) or do it yourself with a map from the Visitor’s Center in City Hall. You can also download a map courtesy of Treebeard’s restaurant (one of the many businesses you’ll find in the tunnel) at: http://www.treebeards.com/location/tunnel.html

Sandra Lord, aka The Tunnel Lady, leads groups on walking tours of the Tunnel System and other downtown attractions. Try the Tunnel & Trolley Tours, NiteCrawls, Sunday Strolls, Ghost Walks in October and Holiday Lights Walks in December. Sandra offers several options, including customized itineraries.
