It's a great place that does a great labor for the conservation of bats. They take care of orphan baby bats whose mom's were infected by ticks and also bats who got trapped in wires.
You can see a great deal of bats, and it's really nice seeing them up close.

The Tolga Bat Hospital is such a great place to visit. Jenny, Vivvi and the team are so knowledgeable and passionate about the ecological importance of bats. You will definitely walk away with a new appreciation for them, and a deep appreciation for the great work that this team does. This is absolutely worth a visit!

This was a really special find on our east coast trip. Our guide Vivvy was great, took us around to see the bats up close and tell us about all of them - not a question she couldn’t answer.

Thank you all for the amazing work you do to care for the bats and teach others about the importance of protecting them and how to protect them too. Lovely to see the best of humanity at work.

Bat educational experience!
This was a wonderful hour learning and seeing microbats and eastern spectacled bats and the care they need when injured. Also learning about ways to prevent injuries, their diet, breeding cycle and habitat. The guide is a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend this tour!

An absolutely magnificent organisation, educational, inspiring and a wonderful experience. The staff were brilliant and full of information, kindness and knowledge. I will most definitely be back again to see the adorable little puppies of the skies. Thank you all for a wonderful and educational experience. Most of all, thank you for the amazing care and love you give to each and every individual little bat that you take in.

Learning all about bats.
Being an animal lover of all creatures great and small I thoroughly enjoyed this very interesting and worthwhile experience. It was educational as well as so many cute different species of bats to observe and learn about each plus the importance of this mammal to our environment. Definitely an amazing place. Bats need all the help they can get. So lucky to have this amazing centre with dedicated staff and volunteers.

Definetly recomend if you want to understand a bit more about bats and contribute to their conservation by helping the institution.

I am really happy for looking this up when I saw a sign to turn for the bat hospital, just sad it is not more advertised. They seem to do a really amazing and important job towards bat conservation. On the tour you get to learn a lot about bats, their importance to the environment, the threats to their survival and some ways of preventing so much deaths in the area. You can see them upclose and all the individuals that are shown to us have sad stories and are unfortunately no longer able to be released into the wild. Our guide Vivvy was very knowledgeable and we could clearly see her passion for taking care of these bats and wanting to help their population thrive.

Unfortunately,  bats are very misunderstood all over the world and they play a mega important ecological role, I am happy this place exists to help change this mindset.

Thank you for your work!

Definitely worth a visit. Fascinating tour and really gives you an insight into these amazing little creatures. The lady who showed us around is clearly committed to their welfare, if only everyone in the world was as selfless as these volunteers the world would be a better place.

Phenomenal conservation tour
Absolutely amazing, worth every penny - loved “meeting” SO many different bats and learning about the various bats. Jenny and all the staff we met were so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. It felt like a real privilege to step into their world and see some of the important work. Great for most travelers - solo, couples, families with kids aged 7 and older.

Bats up close and personal
This was suggested to us by a friend who had been there. Said it was a must do and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Jenny is an amazing guide who quietly but passionately shares the work that is carried out at the hospital. We got to see different varieties and hear about the efforts to rehabilitate those that could be. For some unfortunately they are unable to return to their natural habitat due to severe injuries from barbed wire. The centre has research happening and is making such an effort to work within communities to support to minimise the effects of barbed wire through solutions. Such interesting creatures all with different adaptions - some so cute. Highly recommend a visit.

Micro megabats! Pollinators! How to resolve barbed wire issues!
Jenny is very knowledgeable and thorough and guided by the group's interest and questions. She is clearly a very dedicated person but without pushing her agenda at the risk of alienating people as many wildlife people can be. As a wildlife person myself, I say that without judgement, merely to comment that when you have rescued 230 bats in 6 days from barbed wire fences, it must be hard to stay positive and open, yet Jenny does. Support this cause - she's doing great work! And the tour was so informative. We heard so much new information and saw about 10 different species of bats from both megabat and microbat groups. I highly recommend it!

Our visit to the Tolga Bat Hospital was terrific. We learned a lot about Australian bats, the challenges they face, and the amazing work of the team at the Bat Hospital. Jenny was a terrific guide and we’d recommend this to anyone with an interest in Australian wildlife. Get in early while there are spaces left on the tour so you don’t miss out!

Fantastic experience. The bat hospital offers tours that can be booked through the website before your visit. There are 12 spots per tour.

Today we were 7 visitors and after some information videos our guide took us through to the small bat enclosure. We got up and close with different species of bats and got all our questions answered. Next up the flying fox enclosure, followed by a meet and greet with one of the babies.

The tour was super informative and it was wonderful to learn more about these amazing creatures!

Pretty interesting and off the beaten path experience. It feels a bit like visiting someone’s home who cares deeply about bats and has dedicated their life to caring for them. Lots of bat paraphernalia around.

You have the chance to view lots of bats up close, although no touching due to risk of disease.

Four stars as inexplicably the tour started early without us even though they saw us waiting in the parking lot for the start time.

Bats are awesome. Staff and volunteers are professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Top marks to you all.
Amazing Tour. The Bats are very interesting mammals. It's wonderful being able to observe them up close. They are so cute!!!! Especially the Microbats. The staff and volunteers are extremely passionate about protecting and nurturing all injured bats, and returning them to the wild whenever possible. A must do, unique experience for visitors and locals on the Atherton Tablelands. Great value. Thanks Jenny, staff and volunteers, for your continuing dedication to saving bats in north Queensland.
