Tolga Bat Hospital

Welcome to our visitor centre just outside Atherton, on the road towards Herberton. Open daily 3-6pm but bookings essential 1st Oct to 30th June and public holidays. We are open in the afternoons so that you can meet the bats while they are having dinner. Enjoy an intriguing insight into the world's 1300 species of bats, their lives and the threats they face. A personalised tour lasts for about an hour and includes a short film about the work of the Bat Hospital. Consider including a visit to the excellent bird hide at Hastie Swamp which is just down the road.
