Cuteness overload! Such important work they do raising awareness and visibility of bats. Also they display the extreme cuteness of bats, and their importance as keystone species.

This was an amazing and unique experience. You are able to get behind the scenes of the bat hospital and safely up close to a range of different bats in care. We travelled from Cairns for the day to get to the tour and would also be great for those staying in Atherton and surrounds. Our guide Bianca was fantastic. We were allowed to take loads of photos and I have shared one of my favourites on this review. Recommend this to anyone who is interested in or wants to learn more about Australian wildlife, or wants to do something a bit different to the usual tourist experiences. Your ticket price is also going to a great cause. Don’t miss out - you must book in advance.

Lovely intimate tour of the bats Small intimate tour by knowledgeable staff and volunteers. They are happy to answer any questions. Nice merchandise if you wish to assist this important wildlife conservation organisation. Do not expect to handle bats. They are often on the mend from injury and are wild.

A safe haven for bats in need Wonderful and very clean facility! Enjoyed the small tour and close up experience seeing the micro bats & mega bats. Learned quite a bit about the challenges facing bats in Queensland. Highly recommend a visit.

Great experience for adults and teens. The Bat Hospital is a very informative, spreads awareness of the bat cruelty, and the importance of bats in the ecosystem. As well as the up close fascinating look at the bats, but unfortunately no holding or touching of the bats was allowed, yet still they were very cute. Definitely book a tour in advance and support the bat community.

Tolga Bat Tour- Outstanding Wow! What an experience! Live was our guide and she was so lovely. Jenny, the owner and founder met us as well. My husband is vaccinated and under training for Bats and Flying Foxes so he felt so at home with these majestic creatures. Highly recommended - loved every minute of it

The visit to the Bat Hospital was a spontaneous one and we did not regret it. The entry fee was reasonable and the tour started on time. The information received was great and partly new to us and we were also able to take pictures of the bats very closely. Thanks a lot for this great experience.

The wonderful Tolga Bat Hospital Visiting the Tolga Bat Hospital has long been a dream of mine and one of the reasons I travelled to Queensland from South Australia. Jenny’s vision has resulted in the most amazing, comprehensive care facilities for our keystone bat species and you can’t help but be impressed with the thought, care and hard work that it has taken. Vivvy gave an excellent presentation of the bats in care and was knowledgeable and friendly. Visitors are able to see the various bats up close and learn about the different species and the challenges they face in the wild. I highly recommend everyone to pay this hospital a visit - even if bats are not your preferred animal. You may be surprised and change your mind! And of course, I bought the tshirt….. Wendy from Adelaide.

Fantastic closeup tour of Flying Foxes and Microbats. We had a very informative tour with the lovely Bianca. It was great to see these beautiful mammals up close and witness the amazing care and dedication given by all the volunteers helping these bats in need. A must see to cover all Australian fauna that we still have.

And excellent presentation with important information about bats vital place in the ecosystem and how to stop these vulnerable creatures becoming even more threatened. Also, lots of viewing of the beautiful creatures up close (but don’t touch!). Highly recommended tour for anyone visiting the Atherton tablelands.

We had a great time at the hospital and we learned so much! They use the money from admissions to take care of the bats and you can see that they are putting every cent to good use. Supporting the hospital means supporting injured and endangered bats. Not to be missed!!

Must do for kids and adults alike! Book ahead and enjoy! So many eye opening myth busting stories and just shows, what you think has not much in common with reality. Beautiful creatures and the hospital is doing invaluable work and service not just for the bats but for the whole area by keeping the bat population as healthy as possible. Well done and thank you!!! 🙏
