Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bat Bridge - Austin (TX)

4 /5 Luis Francisco González: While bridge itself is mostly unremarkable in terms of design, it offers some of the most scenic views in the city. One of the primary motivations for visits is the nightly emergence of the thousands of bats that call the bridge and the area around it, home. Worth noting that our visit was in early November, and despite the crowds both on the bridge and in the water, there were no bats to be seen that night. Apparently The later sunsets in the summer time are a much better time to watch this spectacle.

5 /5 Trigos Miguel (Mike): Even though you dont get to see the bats you wont be disappointed to take pictures of the beautiful city

5 /5 Youssef Bousnina: I think it’s a must do in Austin. Very impressive, even if I was under the bridge and saw the bats coming out I won’t recommend to observe them from there, or at your own risk as you may feel some small droplets all over yourself !

5 /5 Maulik Shah: Austins South Congress Bridge is a great spot for an evening run. The views of the city skyline and Lady Bird Lake are stunning, especially at sunset, making it perfect for capturing beautiful photos. Plus, you can catch the mesmerizing sight of bats emerging at dusk.

5 /5 Sel W: Great evening atmosphere, people and boats, tourists and locals gather here to see the bats after sunset.
