Two Night Hikes in 2025
Going Batty!
Friday, October 31 | 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Bats are fascinating creatures and an essential part of our ecosystem, and yet they remain one of our most misunderstood mammals. Join us for a nighttime stroll through the fields and forests of Pleasant Hill as we dispel myths and learn about their habitat and food needs. We'll even have special acoustic "bat boxes" to listen in on the local bat population as they use ultrasonic squeaks to navigate their environment.
Annual Passholder: $15
General Admission: $25
Going Batty! is intended for ages 8+. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets required for guests aged 5+.
owl prowl
Saturday, November 22 | 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Whoo's out on the Preserve tonight? Multiple different species of owls call Kentucky home, and Shaker Village's mixed woodland and prairie ecology is perfect habitat for these winged predators. We'll be using our senses as we search for these elusive creatures on this evening hike, listening closely to see if any owls are vocalizing nearby.
